The Michigan State Spartans face a test on Saturday night when they host the No. 14 Arkansas Razorbacks (1-0) in East Lansing.

Michigan State made just one three-pointer on 14 attempts, and the Hogs made four in the opening 20 minutes, but the shooting dried up down the stretch. Arkansas made just two threes in the second half and missed two chances to tie the game in the final 7 seconds.

Freshman Cam Ward had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Coen Carr scored 15 points and had seven rebounds and No. 22 Michigan State beat No. 14 Arkansas 69-66 on Saturday night in a matchup of Hall of Fame coaches.

Following MSU's win over Arkansas, John Calipari spoke about the Spartans offensive rebound dominance and even had some friendly jokes about Tom Izzo.

Hogs coach John Calipari and his old buddy, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, will work the sideline at a sold-out Breslin Center where a rowdy crowd of 15,000 will do its best to rattle the Razorbacks.

After going nearly three months without a commitment in the 2026 class, Michigan has landed two this week. It also picked up a verbal pledge from Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier three-star linebacker Aden Reeder on Thursday – three days after he backed off his commitment to Wisconsin.

Dontae McMillan ran for 100 yards and a touchdown, and Noah Kim threw for 210 yards and a score as Eastern Michigan edged Bowling Green 27–21.

Data centers are rapidly expanding across the country, and the amount of power they need is rising exponentially. Now they're here. Is Michigan ready?
