Here's how you can watch the Michigan State Spartans vs. the Ole Miss Rebels Sweet Sixteen matchup tonight: tipoff time and where to stream

This is the 2025 March Madness Sweet Sixteen matchup to watch tonight. The MSU Spartans are only favored by a slim -3.5 points on the spread, meaning there is a whole lot of opportunity for the Ole Miss Rebels to pull off an upset.

MSU is led by Jaden Akins (12.7 PPG) and Jaxon Kohler (7.5 REB), and while Jaden Akins is not a high-scoring guard, Akin's athleticism, plus Kohler's rebounding ability, allows MSU to control the boards. Sean Pedulla (15.2 PPG) and the Ole Miss Rebels will have to compensate by scoring on first-chance opportunities.

In Sweet Sixteen matchups decided by 3-pointers and buzzer-beaters, you won't want to miss a moment of the action.

If the Rebels lock up MSU in the paint, there's a chance they can pull through if they get some rebounds — but it's unlikely.
