On Tuesday night, the Michigan basketball team will have a golden opportunity to take a big step towards a berth in the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament when they host Michigan State at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor.
It will be the third of five games that the Wolverines will be without head coach Juwan Howard after he was suspended for the remainder of the season following his post-game altercation at Wisconsin. Michigan won their first game without Howard on the bench as they defeated Rutgers 71-62 this past Wednesday but lost on Sunday at home against Illinois.
Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen to, and stream today’s big game between Michigan and Michigan State.
