The Spartans have won the last three matchups against the Golden Gophers, including a 90-72 victory last month in Minneapolis.
Minnesota:
Minnesota enters this match up on a three game win streak after defeating No. 15 Oregon, 77-69, on Saturday afternoon. The victory marked the Golden Gophers’ first win against a ranked opponent since the 2020-2021 season, when they defeated No. 7 Michigan. Senior forward Dawson Garcia led the team with 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists. The Minnesota native, who was named Big Ten Player of the Week, has scored 20 or more points in 13 games this season — the most in the Big Ten.
The Golden Gophers, who started the season 0-6 in conference play, are now 3-6 in the Big Ten and look to continue their upward trajectory.

Michigan State:
The Spartans, on a 12-game win streak (their longest since the 2018-2019 season) are the only Big Ten team that is undefeated in conference play. They are coming off an 81-74 win against Rutgers on Saturday where freshman guard Jase Richardson led the way with a career-high 20 points. The Spartans also received strong contributions from sophomore forward Coen Carr (14 points, 8 rebounds), senior guard Jaden Akins (12 points, 5 rebounds), and junior guard Tre Holloman (9 points, 6 assists).
Head coach Tom Izzo, in his 30th year at the helm, credits the team’s depth for their success this season.
“We may not be as talented with a top 3-4 guys that just overwhelm you, but it’s been a talented group of 10 guys that have come together,” said Izzo “We’ve worn some people down, and most importantly, we’ve done the things we need to do to win.”
Michigan State boasts a deep rotation with 10 players currently averaging at least 14 minutes played per game. With 39.4 points per game, the Spartans rank second in the nation in bench scoring.
