Get ready for some Michigan State hoops to be served with your turkey and stuffing this Thanksgiving.
The Spartans are headed west for a big-time neutral court Thanksgiving Day matchup with No. 3 Arizona on Thursday. Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET and will be televised on FOX directly after the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers game.
This game will be played at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Springs, Calif.
Michigan State comes into this matchup with a 3-2 overall record and a little bit of momentum after picking up a pair of blowout victories this past weekend. The start to the season as a whole, however, has been less than ideal for Michigan State, who could use a marquee victory over Arizona.
The Wildcats have gotten off to a much better start to the year with a 5-0 record and a notable road victory over Duke. Arizona is favored over the Spartans in this matchup.
Can Michigan State pick up their best win of the year on Thanksgiving night? Check out my prediction and all of the key game details for this matchup between the Spartans and Wildcats below:

Game Prediction
Prediction: MSU 72, Arizona 77
Michigan State is starting to play better but this isn’t a great matchup for the Spartans. Arizona has a size advantage in the post that makes me concerned should Michigan State not shoot lights out from outside the paint. I expect this to be a close game where the Spartans come up a little bit short late.
