Michigan State will also participate in the Great Lakes Invitational in Grand Rapids on December 29-30, joined by Western Michigan, Michigan Tech, and Lindenwood.
The second series against Michigan is scheduled for early February, featuring a home game in East Lansing and a neutral-site game at Little Caesars Arena.
