Michigan State basketball will put its impressive winning streak and perfect Big Ten record on the line on Saturday afternoon.
The Spartans will face Rutgers on Saturday afternoon from Madison Square Garden in New York City. This game was originally scheduled to be played at Rutgers but was moved to the neutral site shortly before the season began.
Michigan State comes into this matchup on an 11-game winning streak that dates back to the Maui Invitational in November. The Spartans are 16-2 overall and 7-0 in Big Ten play this year.
Rutgers is in the midst of a disappointing season at the moment, with the Scarlet Knights sitting at 10-9 overall and 3-5 in Big Ten play. The Scarlet Knights dropped a close road game at Penn State earlier this week, and have lost four of their last six games.

Michigan State vs. Rutgers prediction, pick
Is this where the Spartans finally stumble in conference play? It’s definitely a possibility, especially when you consider how Michigan State has struggled at Madison Square Garden over the years. The upset is certainly in play, but I think Michigan State again finds a way to keep its winning streak alive in this tough one against the Scarlet Knights.
Prediction: Michigan State 75, Rutgers 72
