If time has proven anything, it’s that green and white simply doesn’t mix with maize and blue. This weekend will be a testament to that fact, as MSU and No. 14 Michigan square off for the first time this season in a home-and-home series.

Hockey reporter Alex DiFilippo discusses some of the big questions surrounding the home-and-home series against the Wolverines this weekend.

The No. 17 MSU hockey team has endured two eerily similar weekends in a row. Saturday night’s 3-1 loss to No. 10 Miami (Ohio) was the second straight weekend the Spartans were swept by a clustermate opponent they will face two more times before the end of the season. But the final result wasn’t the only strange similarity of the two losing weekends against two Ohio-based teams.
The No. 17 MSU hockey team got on the board first but allowed five unanswered goals in Friday’s 5-1 loss to No. 10 Miami (Ohio) at Munn Ice Arena.
