It appears Michigan State will be adding another big-time opponent to their 2022-23 basketball schedule.
The Spartans will reportedly host Villanova as part of the 2022 Gavitt Games. College basketball insider Jon Rothstein reported the news on Monday evening.
The date and time of the game have yet to be announced or reported. Generally, the Gavitt Games matchups are held in either November or December so it would be anticipated that this will be another early-season test for the Spartans.
Michigan State has only played Villanova four times in program history. This will be the first matchup between the Spartans and Wildcats in 20 years.
This will be yet another tough matchup for the Spartans on their 2022-23 schedule. The official schedule has yet to be released but based on reports and previously announced games Michigan State is set to play Gonzaga, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Villanova and three games in the PK85 event this year. That is an extremely tough slate but should at least be fun for fans and tell us a lot about this team early in the season.
Check out the complete slate for the 2022 Gavitt Games below:
