The Spartans face Memphis in the semifinals of the Maui Invitational on Tuesday evening. Michigan State made easy work of Colorado in the first round on Monday, and will now turn its focus to Memphis, who upset UConn in overtime on Monday.
Michigan State comes into this matchup with a 5-1 record and wins in its last three games. The Spartans’ lone loss was against Kansas in the Champions Classic.
