Michigan State Madness: Men, women's basketball teams treat fans to late-night exhibition

Lansing State Journal

After a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Michigan State basketball fans packed the Breslin Center Friday evening for the annual Michigan State Madness event.

After a meet-and-greet on the concourse where players and coaches from both teams posed for pictures and signed autographs for fans, the main event began at center court. With a "Spartan Things" play on the series "Stranger Things," women's coach Suzy Merchant rose from a stage suspended while a Stranger Things-themed anthem filled the background. Men's coach Tom Izzo entered the Breslin Center amidst smoke and flames.
