MSU went 1-1 during their first week of action, headlined by a shocking upset to James Madison, losing 79-76 at home to kick off the 2023-24 season.
The Spartans picked up their first win of the season last Thursday, defeating Southern Indiana 71-54.
Michigan State will be tested again in week two, as they are set to face No. 9 ranked Duke on Tuesday night in the State Farm Champions Classic at 7:00 p.m. on ESPN. The Spartans will also welcome Butler to the Breslin Center on Friday as a part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, which is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on FS1.
