Michigan State to Face North Carolina in 2025

Michigan State's basketball program will face North Carolina on Thanksgiving Day in 2025 as part of the Fort Myers Tip-Off, marking the first appearance for both teams in this event. The Spartans and Tar Heels have a long history, with North Carolina leading their all-time series 13-4, including a recent victory in the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, Michigan State football is actively recruiting, hosting several high-profile official visits this weekend, including Terrance 'Deuce' Edwards, a 3-star cornerback currently committed to West Virginia. Additionally, the Spartans will welcome Cairo Skanes, a Miami (OH) commit, and Zion Gist, a running back committed to Western Michigan, showing a strong interest in bolstering their roster for future seasons. Both basketball and football programs are positioning themselves for competitive matchups and recruitment opportunities in the coming year.
