This situation feels eerily similar.
Fans of college basketball may recall UConn’s encounters with Michigan State, first in the 2009 Final Four, and again in the Elite Eight a few years later. Now, they’re set to clash once more.
The UConn Huskies, led by Alex Karaban, will face off against the Michigan State Spartans, with Cohen Carr, in the Sweet 16. The game is set for 9:45 p.m. ET at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
Interestingly, this time UConn, ranked second in the East, is slightly favored over Michigan State, which is ranked third, by just 1.5 points.
I’m curious to see how this historic rivalry between two powerhouse NCAA programs unfolds.
Here’s what to know:
- When: March 27, 9:45 PM ET
- Where: Capital One Arena, Washington, D.C.
- Channel: CBS
- Streaming: DirecTV
The winner of this matchup will advance to face the victor of the No. 1 Duke vs. No. 5 St. John’s game in the Elite Eight.
