Michigan State basketball vs. Wisconsin Badgers: Time, TV channel, stream info

Michigan State men's basketball opens Big Ten Conference play Tuesday against the Wisconsin Badgers in East Lansing.

Jaden Akins led five Spartans in double figures with 14 points the last time out, when MSU used a new lineup to dispose Georgia Southern, 86-55, one week ago. But MSU may be without senior forward Malik Hall (9.9 points, 5.6 rebounds) due to illness vs. Wisconsin.

The Spartans are a disappointing 4-3, dropping out of the rankings after starting top 5.
