Michigan State basketball to host Oakland, former PG Rocket Watts in 2022
Michigan State will welcome back a familiar face to the Breslin Center this upcoming season.
Oakland released their official non-conference schedule on Wednesday, and it featured a trip to Michigan State on Dec. 21. That means former Spartans guard Rocket Watts — who transferred to Oakland this past offseason — will return to the Breslin Center to face one of his old teams.
