#3 Michigan State Vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Game Thread: Spartans Lose
The #3 Michigan State Spartans return to the court tonight in Maui, Hawaii against the Virginia Tech Hokies. That game can be seen on ESPN at 5PM.
The Spartans are looking to come out and attack the Hokies. A very talented team hails from Blacksburg, but the Spartans are elite and look to show it.
While the Spartans enjoy three more days in paradise, they can’t get caught looking ahead to big looming home game in early December. Playing in Maui brings unique circumstances.
The gym can get nearly unbearable with warmth, it is cramped and with playing three games in three days, it can take massive toll physically. The Spartans are looking to push the ball with every chance that they can. That works well for them against a Hokies team that loves to take the three, but that shoots streaky.
The Duke Blue Devils will be in East Lansing to take on the Spartans on Tuesday, December 3rd in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. That game can be seen on ESPN and it tips off at 9:30 PM
