The all-Michigan rivalry plays out for the second and final time this regular season, as the 8th-ranked Michigan State Spartans play host to the No. 17 Michigan Wolverines. The game is scheduled to start at noon ET with TV coverage on CBS and streaming on-demand .

Where: Breslin Center, East Lansing, Mich.

Michigan State extended its timely hot streak Thursday night with a 91-84 road win over Iowa that clinched the Big Ten regular-season championship. The Spartans won their sixth straight game and took down all of their league title competition by taking down No. 13 Purdue (75-66), No. 12 Michigan (75-62), No. 16 Maryland (58-55) and No. 11 Wisconsin (91-84) part of that six-game streak. Clinched or not, Michigan State is still in pursuit of its best possible position for March Madness and has a chance on Sunday to take down another ranked foe.

The Wolverines had a six-game win streak snapped in that previous loss to Michigan State, and they slipped to No. 17 in this week’s national rankings with losses in three of their past five games overall. Michigan arrives in East Lansing as an underdog looking to return to the win column off back-to-back setbacks to No. 13 Maryland (71-65) and Illinois (93-73).

The Wolverines and Spartans are set for a noon ET start on CBS. Live streams are available from FuboTV (free trial) and DirecTV Stream (free trial) .
