The Michigan State Spartans will look to bolster their tournament résumé on Friday as they face the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Big Ten quarterfinals.

The Michigan State Spartans (19-13, 10-8) will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers (23-8, 11-7) on Friday in the Big Ten quarterfinal on Friday as they look to add a quality win to their tournament résumé.

The Spartans have met and defeated the Golden Gophers twice this season, coming back to win their conference opener 75-74 on the road and following up with a 65-47 win at home two weeks later which kicked off a five-game losing streak for Minnesota.
