Friday night’s Michigan State vs LSU game will kick off the second night of Sweet 16 action. Here’s how you can watch the Spartans and Tigers online.

As the moments creep closer to Friday night’s tipoff between Michigan State and LSU, you can almost feel the excitement level rising.

Is it excitement, nerves or a mixture of both? For most fans with serious rooting interest in the Sweet 16 matchup, it would have to be that mixture. Michigan State (30-6) is hoping to get back to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2014-15 while LSU (28-6) is in its first NCAA Tournament since that season.

Experience seems to be on Michigan State’s side, but it will have to focus on beating an athletic squad in LSU — it won’t be easy.

Unfortunately for LSU, it’ll remain without head coach Will Wade who has been absent since an FBI wiretap was made public regarding him paying recruits. For Michigan State, Josh Langford and Kyle Ahrens are still sidelined so each side is missing some valuable keys.

If Michigan State wins, it could potentially move on to the matchup everyone has been hoping for with Duke but if LSU wins, it would ruin plenty of brackets.
