Michigan State Announces FAU Basketball Matchup

Michigan State basketball has added Florida Atlantic University (FAU) to its 2024-25 non-conference schedule, set for December 21 in East Lansing. The matchup follows a challenging Maui Invitational where the Spartans will face teams like Colorado and North Carolina. Meanwhile, Michigan State is actively focusing on recruiting for the 2026 and 2027 classes, with notable recruits like four-star offensive tackle Gregory Patrick attending the game against FAU to evaluate the team's performance. As Michigan State prepares to take on FAU, the Owls, under head coach Tom Herman, are entering the season with significant roster changes, including a new starting quarterback. The Owls are looking to embrace the challenge against the Spartans, despite being 14-point underdogs. The 2024 Michigan football season is also on the horizon, with the Wolverines ranked No. 8 in the Coaches Poll after a perfect 2023 season.
