Michigan State has now released all the details on start times and TV coverage for the 2008-2009 basketball schedule.

The Oakland game [...]

In retrospect, [...]

We’re still waiting for the release of the full Michigan State basketball schedule. Reportedly, the Big Ten is mandating that all 11 schools wait until all the BTN schedule details are in place. UMHoops has a source who says it’s going to be a while before that happens (although the Columbus Dispatch says Ohio State [...]

The match-ups and schedule for the Old Spice Classic have been released. (Don’t the words “Old Spice” and “Classic” go together nicely?) Michigan State will play Maryland in the opening round at 7:00 on Thursday, November 27 (Thanksgiving Day). The game will be televised on ESPN2. If they won that game, they’d play the winner [...]

Another scheduling note: MSU will not be playing an exhibition game vs. the University of Victoria after all (hat tip: Up with the Colors). No explanation for the cancellation. I still haven’t seen any additional information on the preseason Canadian tour. Not sure if this is a sign it’s not going to happen now or [...]
