Michigan vs. Michigan State: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Spread Info and More

Michigan (17-6, 7-3) and Michigan State (17-5, 6-3) will continue to battle for Big Ten supremacy on Super Bowl Sunday. It's the second meeting of the season between the two rivals, with the Wolverines picking up a 60-59 victory over the Spartans last month.

The Wolverines picked up an impressive road win against Indiana on Wednesday. It was the team's fourth victory over a ranked opponent this season. They would like to develop more consistency, though, having alternated wins and losses over their past seven games dating back to mid-January.

Michigan State is coming off an excruciating loss to Illinois. The Spartans shot a dreadful 24 percent from the field and yet lost by just one point. If they fall one game short of winning the regular-season Big Ten title, they will look back at that performance as a failed opportunity.

What's at Stake?

This game is crucial for both teams as the Big Ten schedule begins to wind toward its conclusion. Ohio State is leading the conference at 7-2, with both Michigan powerhouses following closely behind. The winner of Sunday's clash will give themselves a leg up in the race.

Then there are bragging rights. The Wolverines and Spartans have one of the best rivalries in all of college sports, so the intensity level when they play is through the roof. That should make for an awesome game to kick off Super Sunday right.

What They're Saying

Bob Wojnowski of the Detroit News passed along a quote from Michigan's Trey Burke about the Big Ten race:

"

'We feel like we're still on the bubble and we're just trying to get to March,' said Trey Burke, Michigan's superb freshman guard. 'Every game from here on out is a must-win. You can go from second or third in the Big Ten to sixth or seventh in a matter of a week.

'We know every single game, you're playing for a Big Ten championship.'

"

As for Michigan State, Seth Davis of CBS Sports provides an update on Draymond Green:

Michigan Player to Watch: Tim Hardaway Jr.

Hardaway continues to be Michigan's most potent player on the offensive end. In his second season with the Wolverines, he's averaging 15 points and three assists, both increases from his freshman year. He scored 10 points in the first meeting.

The Wolverines lack depth, so Hardaway can't afford to have many off nights down the stretch if the team is going to make some noise atop the Big Ten. He should have a matchup advantage against either Brandon Wood or Branden Dawson, so he needs to make the most of that opportunity.

Michigan State Player to Watch: Draymond Green

After suffering a knee injury that had Spartan fans holding their collective breath, it appears Green will be ready to roll on Sunday and that's tremendous news for Michigan State. At 15 points and 10 rebounds per game, he's having the best season of his collegiate career.

Michigan doesn't have anybody who will be able to contain him. The reason he only scored seven points the last time around was because he didn't have his shooting touch. Playing at home should give him the extra boost he needs to perform like the dominant interior force he can be.

Key Matchup: Trey Burke vs. Keith Appling

Burke and Appling are two of the best young guards in the Big Ten. Both guys are the secondary scoring options on their team, while also being trusted to run the point. Burke got the better end of the matchup in the first game, which is the main reason Michigan picked up a narrow victory.

The story will be similar on Sunday. Appling will be looking to bounce back after making just two of his 19 shots over the past two games. He needs to start being more aggressive going to the bucket instead of setting for jumpers. If he can do that, and I think he will, the Spartans will earn a regular-season split.

Prediction

Michigan State 75, Michigan 68
