The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (10-9, 3-5) will face the No. 8 Michigan State Spartans (16-2, 7-0) in a Big Ten college basketball showdown on Saturday on CBS and Paramount+. Rutgers' season got off to a hot start, but now the Scarlet Knights look to find consistency in conference play after dropping recent games to Purdue, Nebraska and Penn State. That could prove difficult, however, as they face a Spartans side that is riding an 11-game winning streak and are undefeated against Big Ten opponents. You can stream the game on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME.

Tip-off is set for 1:30 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden. The latest Rutgers vs. Michigan State odds from SportsLine consensus list the Spartans as 7.5-point favorites, while the over/under for total points scored is 149.5.
