Spartans Tip Off Basketball Season Against Colgate Raiders
4 Nov
Summary
- Michigan State basketball team opens season against Colgate
- Game available only on BTN+ streaming service
- TOC writers unable to provide post-game coverage

On November 4, 2025, the Michigan State Spartans basketball team is set to open its season against the Colgate Raiders. The game, which tips off at 7 PM, will be the first non-football MSU game that fans can watch this year.
However, there's a catch - the game will be available only on BTN+, a streaming service that many fans do not subscribe to. This will be the last time this season that an MSU basketball game is exclusive to BTN+, so those without access won't have to worry about missing any more games.
Unfortunately, the TOC writers will be unavailable to provide their usual post-game coverage, as they will be at work or football practice during the game. But the website is offering an opportunity for fans to step up and submit their own instant recap articles, which the editors will publish and credit.
Despite the limited viewing options, fans are eager to see the Spartans take the court and kick off the new basketball season on a high note against the Colgate Raiders.
