What channel is Michigan State vs. Northwestern on today? Time, TV schedule for Spartans game

Michigan State's head coach Tom Izzo thanks the alumni fans after the game against Penn State on Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024, in East Lansing.

Tom Izzo and the Michigan State basketball team will look to extend their win streak to six games on Sunday against Northwestern.

The Spartans (9-5, 1-2 in Big Ten play) will travel to Evanston, Illinois on Sunday to take on the Wildcats (10-3, 1-1) while looking to build off what has been an impressive stretch run for the team. They righted the ship vs. Penn State on Thursday to get their first win not only of the new year, but also conference play (following defeats by Wisconsin and Nebraska).

If the Spartans are to get back to .500 in Big Ten play, they'll need to beat a 10-win Northwestern team that, as of yet, is the only blemish on top-ranked Purdue's record. And, while Michigan State has played impressively as of late, Sunday's game will be the first road contest since the Spartans lost at the Cornhuskers on Dec. 10.
