Michigan State Basketball

The Michigan State basketball teams of the Michigan State University have a huge green S as their logo to help signify their team name, the Spartans.
The Michigan State basketball program teams are called the Michigan State Spartans basketball teams. The Spartans have a team for the women's and men's division. Michigan State University basketball is considered part of the Big Ten conference and home games are played in the Breslin Center that can hold up to 14,000 spectators.

The history of Michigan State basketball is pretty colorful and holds a lot of milestones for the Spartans name. One of the most notable points in Michigan State basketball history would probably be the game that had Magic Johnson pitted against Larry Bird in the game that had the Michigan State Spartan basketball team fighting against the Indiana State University Sycamores team. The Michigan State University basketball coach at that time helped lead the team to win the NCAA National Champion title as well as helped Earvin “Magic” Johnson earn the MVP title that year. The year was 1979. Another milestone in the team's history is the drafting of Greg Kelser in the 1975 Michigan State University basketball team. This led to the winning of the 1979 NCAA National Championship with Kelser helping Johnson snag the title for the team.

Aside from the accolades the men's team seemed to rack up, the Michigan State women's basketball was also beginning to carve a name. The Michigan State womens basketball team has also won a few Big Ten regular season and tournament conference championships.

Just like other universities in the country, the University of Michigan believes that the children are indeed the future of everything, including the sport, so the Michigan State basketball camp trains future basketball players the fine art of the game. Finding future Spartans players in these camps is also possible since there are quite a few talented youngsters who sign up every year.
