Michigan State basketball returns to the floor for the first time in over a week in a home matchup against an in-state rival.
The Spartans will host in-state foe Western Michigan in this non-conference matchup. The Broncos are coached by long-time MSU assistant coach Dwayne Stephens.
Michigan State is 10-2 overall and this is the final non-conference game left on the regular season schedule.
Western Michigan comes into this game with a 3-8 overall record, and losses in their last four games. The Broncos have only played one other major conference team this year and it was a 20-point loss vs. Butler.
The Spartans are listed as double-digit favorites over Western Michigan in this matchup.

Knocking off the rust from the holiday break will be something to monitor early in this game. But regardless of how long that takes into the matchup, I envision a convincing win in the end for the Spartans.
