It seems like every game in the Big 10 is a big game this year and tonight is more proof of that.

Michigan and Michigan State, both ranked in the top 10, square off in pivotal battle – the first of two meetings between the schools this season. The Spartans come in tied with Indiana for first place, but the Wolverines are only a game back, so a win for them tonight will create a real bottleneck at the top of the standings.
