Only the 10th ever meeting between the two college basketball powers, Kentucky owns a 5-4 all-time advantage in the head-to-head series between the two, as well as having won the last two meetings back in 2016 and 2019.

SEC Basketball’s highest-ranked team, Kentucky comes into this contest with a 2-0 overall record, as well as ranked as the No. 4 team in the country.

Michigan State enters Tuesday with a 1-1 overall record, with the Spartans coming off their first loss of the 2022-23 season against Gonzaga, a game in which they fell 64-63.
