Is the Michigan State game on TNT, TBS or truTV?

Not so far. TNT Sports carries some regular-season college basketball and its share of March Madness alongside CBS, but none of Michigan State's games with a channel assigned is on TNT, TBS or truTV yet. Fubo carries CBS and none of the three Turner channels, so a Fubo plan reaches about half the bracket; YouTube TV carries all three. This page names the channel for every game as soon as it is assigned.
