The Michigan and Michigan State men's basketball teams, both on the NCAA Tournament bubble, square off at Crisler Arena on Saturday. The Wolverines handed the Spartans a home loss in their first meeting.

Bill Simonson, who writes The Huge Show Blog for MLive.com, thinks this is the biggest game MSU coach Tom Izzo has ever coached against the Wolverines.

Writes Simonson, "No way (Tom) Izzo can sleep during the offseason if he loses twice to the Wolverines and has to hear about a young, aggressive and talented Michigan team that will be one of the favorites to win the Big Ten next year."
