Michigan State owns a 1-2 dual meet record going into Friday's contest, while Notre Dame is 2-1. The Irish are coming off a dramatic 122-121 win over Pittsburgh on Nov. 4. The Green and White are trying to regroup after suffering loses to No. 13 Northwestern and No. 14 Purdue on Nov. 4.
"Our relays are going to be really competitive with their relays, of course Ian (Clutten) always gives us a chance to win," Gianiodis remarked. "Adam (Schmitt) and Matt (Wisnieswki) also give us a good chance to win. Those guys all have the ability to win--they just have to do it."
