Michigan State women’s basketball beats Michigan on the road

For the second time this weekend, a Michigan State basketball team has beaten Michigan in Ann Arbor. The Spartans earned their 18th win of the season with a 70-66 victory over the Wolverines.

This was a well-rounded victory for MSU, as they were led in scoring by bench guard Tory Ozment, who scored 16. The usual suspects also came through today, with DeeDee Hagemann scoring 14 and adding 3 assists, and Julia Ayrault, who scored 13 points on the day.

Theryn Hallock also added 11 points and 2 steals off the bench.

The Spartans are now 18-7 on the year and 8-6 in the Big Ten as they continue their march towards the NCAA Tournament under new head coach Robyn Fralick.

WATCH: Tom Izzo, Juwan Howard, and Michigan State basketball players’ media sessions following MSU’s win over Michigan

On Saturday night, Michigan State basketball earned one of their most satisfying wins of the season, taking down their rival, Michigan, in Ann Arbor 73-63.

This was an important one for MSU for many reasons. This team now has won three conference road games, something that has been extremely hard for them, and many other teams, to come by this season.

It also featured another dominant performance from Malik Hall (18 points), who, along with Tyson Walker (19 points), led the Spartans in scoring. This has been extremely encouraging sign as Michigan State approaches March.

After the game, Tom Izzo, A.J. Hoggard, Tyson Walker and Malik Hall all spoke to the media, and you can find each of those interviews below, which were recorded and posted on YouTube by SpartanMag.com. Juwan Howard, Tarris Reed Jr. and Nimari Burnett also spoke to the media, and their session was recorded by UMHoops.com.

Michigan State hockey takes down Michigan 5-1 in Ann Arbor

For the first time since 2019, Michigan State hockey has a winning stream going against Michigan. The Spartans beat the Wolverines 5-1 at Yost Arena in Ann Arbor on Friday night.

MSU goalie Trey Augustine led the way with a stellar performance, blocking 29 of 30 shots on the night.

Michigan State will have an opportunity to extend their winning streak over Michigan to three, the longest they’ve had against their in-state rivals since the 2009-10 season, when they play U of M tomorrow night at Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit.

MSU Basketball vs. Michigan: Stream, broadcast info, prediction for rivalry match-up

MSU Basketball vs. Michigan: Stream, broadcast info, and a prediction for rivalry match-up

Michigan State basketball is 12-8 after starting the season flagged as Final Four favorites, and tonight, they will host their rivals, Michigan, in what is usually one of the marquee match-ups of the college basketball season. However, this year is a little different.

MSU has looked inconsistent all year. One night, they look like world-beaters who are marching towards a deep postseason run. Another, they look like a middle-of-the-road Big Ten team on the fringes of the NCAA Tournament, at best.

Michigan, on the other hand, has completely fallen apart. The Wolverines are 7-13. They’ve lost eight of their last nine and are searching for answers. That being said, you can expect that once this game starts, none of that will matter. As Tom Izzo said, as long as he’s alive, the rivalry will be the rivalry.

Below, you can see how to tune into the rivalry game, along with our prediction for the outcome.

It’s rivalry week at Michigan State basketball. The women’s team already handled business against Michigan this weekend, and now it’s the men’s team’s job to host and defeat the Wolverines on Tuesday night.

Before the game, Tom Izzo hosted his usual Monday press conference to talk about his team, the rivalry, and even commented on the Detroit Lions playoff run.

You can see a few of his most notable quotes below.

Jim Harbaugh’s year-by-year record vs. Michigan State football as head coach of Michigan

Jim Harbaugh’s year-by-year record vs. Michigan State as the head coach at Michigan

Jim Harbaugh is officially back in the NFL. On Wednesday, the Michigan football head coach was signed by the Los Angeles Chargers to become their next head coach after the franchise moved on from Brandon Staley.

Harbaugh spent nine seasons at Michigan, and oversaw one of the most contentious periods in the history of the Michigan State-Michigan rivalry. The ugly chapter included tunnel brawls, lawsuits, suspensions and a great deal of bad blood.

After two down seasons from Michigan State and two of the best seasons in the modern era for Michigan, Harbaugh left his position with a winning record against the Spartans, just barely.

Below, you can see the year-by-year results Harbaugh’s Michigan teams had against Michigan State.

Five things Michigan and Michigan State football can do to cool off rivalry

Five things Michigan and Michigan State football can do to cool off their heated rivalry

Could you imagine a football season without Michigan and Michigan State football playing each other? Until about 2017, the huge rivalry game was one of my favorite sports events of the year, period. Since around 2018, the rivalry, always heated but always fun, has turned into something far uglier.

Like many things in our world today, tribalism and social media seems to have deepened the divide between the two programs, and that division exploded on Saturday night in the now infamous tunnel incident in which Michigan State players attacked two Michigan players following the Spartans’ loss.

Now, I would hope and imagine that the Big Ten, along with both programs and their athletic directors are looking for ideas on how to cool off this rivalry before it gets even worse and may have to be removed entirely for the safety of the players and fans.

Below, I outlined a few ideas I had for how this might be accomplished.
