The final day of the regular season in the Big Ten is set to be a good one as the Michigan Wolverines and the Michigan State Spartans will meet for the second time this season. Let’s take a peek at the match statistics and predictions for this rivalry game ahead of the Big Ten tournament next week. 

Michigan enters this game with a record of 22-8 and they are 14-5 in the Big Ten. They have already secured a top-four seed in the Big Ten tournament, meaning they will receive a double-bye next week. Despite that, the Wolverines are reeling a bit, having lost each of their last two games, the most recent being a loss to the Maryland Terrapins this past Wednesday at home. 

As for Michigan State, they enter this game with a record of 25-5 and are 16-3 in the Big Ten.

The Spartans are currently riding a six-game win streak, most recently beating the Iowa Hawkeyes on the road by a score of 91-84 this past Thursday.
