Here’s how you can watch Thursday evening’s Michigan State vs Nebraska game from Lincoln online.

Taking on Nebraska is never an easy task for Michigan State. In fact, the Spartans have struggled to beat the Cornhuskers on the hardwood since they joined the Big Ten a few years ago and that likely won’t end this season. Although Nebraska is just 10-11 overall, it just took down Purdue in Lincoln.

Not only does Nebraska pose a threat to the Spartans, they are also a poor road team. Michigan State hasn’t won on the road since the first Big Ten contest of the year against Minnesota, going 0-3 in its last three showings.

Moreover, the Spartans are young and these talented freshmen can get rattled away from home. However, Tom Izzo is working to correct that. Miles Bridges, Nick Ward, Cassius Winston and Josh Langford may just all crack the starting rotation tonight and they could gain some confidence by getting out to a big lead.

Defending the perimeter and getting rebounds will be the two keys for the Spartans in winning this one as they’ve struggled to do so in the past couple of weeks.
