ACC-Big Ten Challenge: Notre Dame(6-0) at Michigan State(5-1)
The undefeated Irish walk into the Breslin Center on Thursday night, which will give the Spartans yet another major opportunity against a top 25 team in the country. The Spartans are coming off a win over number 9 North Carolina in the PK80 Tourney Championship, while the Irish defeated the highly ranked Wichita State Shockers in the Maui Invitational Championship.
Notre Dame is led by Matt Farrell and Bonzie Colson. The Colson vs Miles Bridges battle should be a good one.
