After more than a week off, Michigan State basketball is back on the floor tonight.
The Spartans will battle in-state foe Oakland tonight from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Michigan State last played on December 7, which was an impressive blowout victory over Nebraska.
Michigan State comes into this game with an 8-2 record and plenty of momentum following a pair of blowout wins in Big Ten play two weeks ago. The Spartans are listed as heavy favorites over Oakland in this year’s annual rivalry game.
Oakland comes into this game with a 3-5 record on the year. Oakland played Illinois relatively tough in a 12-point road loss, but was handled by Kansas in its only other game against a major program.

Michigan State 75, Oakland 61: Can Michigan State remain hot after a week off? That’s the question I have for the Spartans in what is typically a tight game between Michigan State and Oakland. Knocking off the rust and knowing the Grizzlies always play the Spartans tough has me predicting this one to be closer than the betting experts think.
