Michigan State Basketball: Updates on 2023-24 schedule completion

More non-conference games for the month of December will be announced but there are two teams that the Spartans will play in the money of December.

Michigan State vs Oakland

Before the 2019-20 season, both athletic programs agreed to a six-year deal to extend the long-term standing series between the Spartans and Golden Grizzlies.

The series has and was supposed to alternate yearly between Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit and the Breslin Center in East Lansing but with Michigan State playing Baylor at the LCA, it is possible that the Golden Grizzlies play in East Lansing again like last season.

Unfortunately for Oakland University, the basketball series between them and Michigan State has been a one-sided affair. The Spartans have won all 21 games between the two schools, going back to 1998.

Despite the lopsided record, the games between Oakland University and Michigan State are for the most part, competitive especially when the games are not being played in East Lansing at the Breslin Center. The Golden Grizzlies have played well against the Spartans throughout the years, losing by only six points in overtime in 2015, four points in 2013, and only one point in 2010.

In total, 21 games have been played between these two schools since 1998: Michigan State has won all of its games against Oakland.

Current Win Streak: The Spartans have won the last 21 games between these two schools, having a twenty-one-game winning streak in this series between these two programs.
