Michigan heads to East Lansing for the biggest game of its season yet on Friday night (8:00 p.m., FOX). The Wolverines haven’t beaten the Spartans since 2023, and haven’t won at the Breslin Center since 2018.
Dusty May is 0-2 in the rivalry, and those two losses cost Michigan a Big Ten title. Michigan has its sights set on banners and trophies this year, and this is the kind of game that a team has to win to reach those heights.
The winner of this game will hold first place in the Big Ten and control the title race as the schedule heats up in February and March.
