The No. 9Michigan State Spartans (18-4) aim to extend their eight-game home winning streak when they host the Oregon Ducks (16-7) on Saturday at 12:00 PM ET inside the Jack Breslin Student Events Center. The matchup will be broadcast live on FOX.
The Ducks enter this contest with a 16-7 record, but their 5-7 mark in Big Ten play places them tenth in the conference standings. They started the season red-hot, winning 15 of their first 17 games, with their only losses coming against UCLA and a 32-point drubbing at the hands of Illinois. However, things have gone downhill since then, as they have dropped five of their last six games.
In their most recent outing, they battled Michigan in a game that was close from start to finish. The Wolverines took a five-point edge into halftime, and while Oregon kept it competitive, they never managed to grab the lead, ultimately falling 80-76.
Meanwhile, the Spartans boast an 18-4 record and hold a 9-2 conference record, which puts them second in the Big Ten standings. Their season started strong, as they raced out to an 18-2 record, with their only setbacks coming against Kansas and Memphis. Along the way, they secured several key Big Ten victories, including a notable win over Rutgers.
However, they've stumbled recently, losing their last two games. Their most recent matchup was a hard-fought battle against UCLA. Michigan State trailed by seven at the break but mounted a second-half comeback, tying the game at 61 with just over two minutes to play. Unfortunately, UCLA found the winning basket with seven seconds remaining, escaping with a nail-biting 63-61 victory.
