Saturday’s Michigan State vs Oakland game is the cherry on top of the 2027 Final Four logo unveiling on Friday afternoon. The Spartans are 10-1 on the season and ranked No. 9 while Oakland is 6-6 and undefeated in conference play, but Greg Kampe and Co. are always going to be underdogs.
Tom Izzo has never lost to his good friend and long-time Oakland head coach. If there’s one sure thing on Saturday afternoon, it’s the fact that both Izzo and Kampe will be donning ugly Christmas sweaters — it’s become a tradition. Izzo acts like he hates the sweater tradition while Kampe embraces it.
