While you may be busy with Thanksgiving dinner with the family when the Michigan State vs North Carolina game tips off this evening, you’ll still have plenty of ways to watch.

If your family is cool with you taking a plate, going into the other room, and eating Thanksgiving dinner solo or with that uncle that also likes Michigan State, or maybe is just a Michigan fan hate-watching the Spartans, then you’re all set.

But if you’re expected to be at the dinner table until the last person finishes their plate, you may need to keep your phone handy for some live streaming.

For that reason, we’ve got you covered.

Michigan State and North Carolina are both looking to improve to 7-0 on the year, and both teams are also fighting for some respect. The Tar Heels have been overlooked a bit, and Seth Trimble is out for a while after a freak injury, and the Spartans needed to beat two top-15 teams just to be ranked in the top-15 themselves.

This should be one heck of a matchup to conclude the Fort Myers Tip-Off which was just a short two-game event for the Spartans — shorter of a Thanksgiving tourney than they’re used to.

Tom Izzo will have the Spartans ready to take on one of the more explosive offenses in college basketball as well as one of the elite rebounding teams. This should be a heck of a game to indulge after the Lions (hopefully) exact revenge on the Packers.

Here’s how you can stream the Michigan State vs North Carolina game:

Date: Thursday, Nov. 27
Time: 4:30 p.m. ET
Location: Fort Myers, Fla.
Venue: Suncoast Credit Union Arena
TV: FOX
Live stream: FOX Sports Live or FuboTV

You can tune in on the FOX Sports app and watch from your phone and just make sure to sneak it during Thanksgiving dinner somehow so your family doesn’t catch you not enjoying time together.

This game will have an NCAA Tournament feel to it as the Spartans and Tar Heels are two of the best teams in college basketball and they’re going to battle it out for a full 40 minutes. I expect this one to be an instant classic.
