Two of college basketballs biggest powerhouses will meet on Sunday afternoon with a score to settle.

No. 3 Michigan and No. 8 Michigan State have but one game left in their regular season calendars. It's only right they'd set their sights to one another for the clash, a matchup that could serve as a preview of what's to come in the Big Ten tournament.

The Wolverines (28-2) are arguably basketball's most dominant team, besting 13 of the 15 Quad 1 teams they have faced thus far. Michigan has the bragging rights over its intrastate rival, vanquishing the then-No. 7 Spartans, 83-71, on Jan. 30.

Michigan State isn't too far behind, posting a 25-5 record and 15-4 record in Big Ten play. Tom Izzo's side has shown out against top-ranked opposition, with Jeremy Fears Jr., Jaxon Kohler and Coen Carr forming one of the best scoring triumvirates in the nation.

Can the Spartans get their get-back against their biggest rivals? Fears exploded for 31 points in the Jan. 30 loss. Can he produce a similar scoring outburst against Yaxel Lendeborg, Morez Johnson Jr., Aday Mara and Co.? Only time will tell.

Michigan vs. Michigan State live updates, highlights from Big Ten rivalry game

All times ET.

6:45 p.m.: Michigan has done enough to separate itself from the pack. Impressive showing by the Wolverines, who will move to 28-2 with their win on Sunday evening.

6:25 p.m.: The Wolverines are fending off the Spartans -- just barely -- as the match nears its crescendo. They're up by five with seven minutes left.

6:07 p.m.: The dunks are flowing from Cristler! First, Lendenborg dispatched of Carr before finishing with authority on the reverse! Then, Carr returned the favor, finishing atop of Lendenborg. The Spartans lead by two!

5:57 p.m.: Aday Mara showcases his fleet of foot, slipping beyond Kohler before finishing with the left hand.

5:55 p.m.: We're back for the second half. Let's see if the fireworks continue in the coming half.

End of first half: Michigan 42, Michigan State 41

5:40 p.m.: Lendenborg has been the standout thus far, tallying a game-high 15.

5:38 p.m.: Quite the first half for the Wolverines and the Spartans. Michigan takes the lead courtesy of a last-second Nimari Burnett triple. We hit the locker room for halftime with the Wolverines leading, 42-41.

5:23 p.m.: The back-and-forth nature of this game has come to surface over the last few minutes. Kur Teng cans an effort from beyond the arc as Michigan State levels the score at 27 apiece. Less than six minutes left in the first half at Crisler.

5:14 p.m.: The Wolverines have started to put a little breathing space between them and the Spartans, opening up a 23-16 advantage with a little more than eight minutes left in the first half.

5:03 p.m.: Decent recovery by Michigan, which took the lead courtesy of some timely Yaxel Lendenborg baskets.

4:55 p.m.: Jeremy Fears Jr. looked to have delivered a cheap shot on Michigan guard Elliot Cadeau. Kicked him in the groin as he shielded the ball away. He'll absorbed a dead-ball contact technical foul -- one that will keep him in the game.

4:49 p.m.: It's been a decent start thus far for the Spartans, who opened up a two-point advantage prior to the first media timeout. Carson Cooper leads the way with five points early.

4:40 p.m.: And we're off! Rivals meet underneath the lights in Ann Arbor!
