Michigan State men's basketball will return from a nine-day break when it goes up against Oakland on Tuesday.
Michigan State men's basketball will finally be back on the court on Tuesday when it takes on Oakland at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
While doesn't necessarily stand out as a worthy opponent, the Spartans will have their hands full with the Golden Grizzlies' zone defense. But given the Spartans' fast-paced style of play, they should be able to expose it. Our Aidan Champion previews the matchup on this latest episode of the Michigan State Insider Podcast.Below is a transcript from Michigan State coach Tom Izzo's opening statement from his press conference on Friday:
Izzo: "Well, interesting week. You're playing well and then you get 10 days off. And you got to play my good friend Kampe and a team that's been a little up and down. But they've kind of gone through what we went through -- they're missing some shots early, and guys that have shot 35 and 36%, so it's always scary. Plays that funky zone; I don't know where he got it from, but it's hard to scout.
