Here’s how you can watch Saturday evening’s Michigan State vs Purdue game from West Lafayette online.

Michigan State is just one big win over a ranked opponent away from punching its ticket to the NCAA Tournament. The Spartans are 16-10 on the season, but don’t yet have that signature win, but that could all change Saturday at Purdue.

The Boilermakers are 21-5 on the season and ranked No. 16 in the country. If Michigan State can somehow pull out a victory, there’s no doubt that it will be dancing in March, barring an epic collapse in the final weeks.

During the first meeting between the two teams, Michigan State had a tough time slowing down Caleb Swanigan and Isaac Haas down low. In fact, the former finished with a double-double and made it look relatively easy in an 11-point victory in East Lansing.

Michigan State will need to lock those two down and force the Boilermakers to beat them from the perimeter. Cassius Winston will play a major role in this one as a distributor off the bench and Eron Harris could surprise some people with hot shooting. Nick Ward, Josh Langford and Miles Bridges could have solid games as well.
