Here's how you can watch Friday's MSU-Bryant NCAA Tournament basketball game

March Madness is officially upon us and the Spartans will join the party on Friday night from Cleveland.

The Spartans will face off against No. 15 seed Bryant in a South Region first round matchup on Friday night. This game between the Spartans and Bulldogs will be played at Rocket Arena, with the winner moving on to the second round and facing the winner of No. 7 seed Marquette-No. 10 seed New Mexico.

Michigan State comes into this matchup as a heavy favorite over the Bulldogs. But don't expect Bryant to go down easy as the Bulldogs were dominant throughout their conference play this year.

This will be the 27th straight NCAA Tournament appearance fro the Spartans. That is the longest active streak in the country. This will be only the second-ever NCAA Tournament game for Bryant, who made the jump to Division I just 15 years ago.

Here's how to watch the Michigan State basketball game, including time, TV schedule and streaming information:

Michigan State-Bryant predictions, picks, odds

Michigan State 85, Bryant 67: This feels like a good matchup for the Spartans when you look at what Bryant likes to do and how it really plays into the Spartans' strengths. I envision Michigan State's defensive ability to keep the Bulldogs in check, and if they can rebound efficiently as they've done all season long then this should be a game they control for most of the second half. Anything is possible in March (don't remind me of 2016), but this does feel like a game the Spartans should run away with as long as Bryant doesn't have their own Giddy Potts type of performance.
