On Feb. 13, a gunman killed three Michigan State students and wounded five others on Michigan State's East Lansing campus, leading to the postponement of most Spartans sporting events that week.
Two home games remain on the Gophers' regular-season schedule — on Thursday vs. Rutgers and Sunday vs. Wisconsin. They are riding a 12-game losing streak and sit 7-20 overall, 1-16 in the Big Ten.
Michigan State returned to the court last Tuesday against Indiana. The Spartans also have two games remaining, Tuesday at Nebraska and Saturday vs. Ohio State.
The Big Ten men's basketball tournament starts March 8 in Chicago.
USC and Michigan get ready to square off at the Big House on Saturday, while the Gophers and Hawkeyes play for Floyd of Rosedale.
