DETROIT – The Continental Tire Motor City Invitational – featuring national men’s basketball powers Michigan State and Baylor – has changed its Saturday, Dec. 16, start time to 2 p.m. ET at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, veteran event promoter bdG Sports announced Saturday. The neutral-site contest will be broadcast nationally on FOX.
The game’s tip time previously listed at 8 p.m. ET, was adjusted to earlier in the day following the NFL’s Week 15 schedule announcement Thursday which included a flex date and time for the Detroit Lions’ home game against the Denver Broncos. The Lions-Broncos matchup, also in Detroit, was moved from Sunday, Dec. 17, to Saturday, Dec. 16, with a kickoff time set for 8:15 p.m. ET at nearby Ford Field.
Tickets for the Michigan State-Baylor men’s basketball game are available at the Little Caesars Arena website, as well as Ticketmaster.com and the Ticketmaster app.
