How to watch Minnesota vs. Michigan State – NCAA Men’s Basketball (1/28/25) | Channel, stream, preview

EAST LANSING — Before embarking on a west coast road trip, the Michigan State Spartans have a quick stop at home on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

The Spartans continue to power through their Big Ten season, having not lost a game since before American Thanksgiving. Michigan State has reeled off 12 consecutive wins, showcasing their ability to stand tall against some of the tougher contenders in the conference. Notably, they secured a victory against Illinois a little over a week ago, and just this past Saturday, they managed an 81-74 win over Rutgers at Madison Square Garden.

Jaden Akins stands out as the lone Spartan averaging double-digit points, with 13.8 points per game. Remarkably, Michigan State is the only team in the Big Ten that remains undefeated in conference play, entering Tuesday’s matchup a couple of games ahead of Purdue.

On the other hand, the Golden Gophers faced a rocky start in Big Ten play, suffering defeats in their first six games. However, a recent victory over Michigan has reignited hope for the program, as Minnesota has since won three consecutive contests, including an eight-point win over Oregon last Saturday.

Dawson Garcia has been the driving force behind Minnesota’s offense, averaging 19.7 points per game, while Lu’cye Patterson adds depth by contributing 10.9 points per game. Currently, the Gophers find themselves tied for 14th in the Big Ten, trailing the Spartans by 4.5 games.

Earlier in the season, Michigan State faced Minnesota in a matchup in December, coming away with a commanding 90-72 victory in Minneapolis.
