Michigan State basketball takes on Villanova tonight — here’s what you need to know for this matchup between the Spartans and Wildcats

Michigan State basketball will host Villanova as part of the Gavitt Games in a non-conference matchup on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Spartans enter this Big Ten-Big East battle looking to build off Tuesday night’s thrilling double-overtime win over Kentucky. Michigan State used late rallies in both regulation and the first overtime before taking control in the second overtime for the victory.

Michigan State is 2-1 on the season with the win over Kentucky. Villanova is also 2-1 on the year but hasn’t looked particularly as impressive as the Spartans.
