Michigan State Spartans vs Northwestern Wildcats

January 8, 2026 @ 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm

GO GREEN! GO SPARTY! Watch Michigan State Spartans vs Northwestern Wildcats.

Join your fellow Spartans for Michigan State basketball at Hopsmith. We’re turning every MSU tip-off into a green and white takeover, broadcasting every game WITH sound across our collection of TVs. Plus, you might even see an appearance by Sparty himself. Go Sparty!

Timeouts, halftime, ref reviews? We’ve got music, hype videos, and clips that’ll have you laughing, cheering, and maybe hugging a fellow Spartan. Whether it’s highlights, fails, or pure chaos, we’re keeping the energy up so there’s no such thing as a boring TO.

So wear your green and white, bring your crew, and get ready to fist-bump strangers, high-five like it’s March Madness, and yell at the refs like you should have tried out for the team back then. This season, Hopsmith is the Spartan stronghold in Chicago.
