Michigan State vs Oakland
Prior to the 2019-20 season, Michigan State and Oakland agreed to a six-year deal to extend the long-term series between the Spartans and Golden Grizzlies.
The series has and will alternate yearly between Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit and the Breslin Center in East Lansing.
The history of Michigan State and Oakland University basketball is a one-sided affair. The Spartans have won all 21 games between the two schools, dating back to 1998. The most recent meeting was on December 21, 2022, when Michigan State won 67-54.
The lopsided record between Michigan State and Oakland University is a reflection of the two schools’ different levels of competition. The Spartans are a member of the Big Ten Conference, one of the most competitive conferences in college basketball. Oakland University is a member of the Horizon League, a mid-major conference.
Despite the lopsided record, the games between Michigan State and Oakland University are usually competitive, especially when the games are not being played in East Lansing at the Breslin Center. The Golden Grizzlies have played the Spartans tough throughout the years, losing by only six points in overtime in 2015, four points in 2013, and only one point in 2010.
