The Braggin’ Rights game is one of my favorite moments every year. It’s a great holiday tradition and almost always a great basketball game in a city I care deeply about since I grew up just across the river. I’ll always remember the first time I went to the game seeing fans hanging over the railings of the then-Savvis Center — but real fans always know it’s the Kiel Center — battling back and forth with M-I-Z, Z-0U, and I-L-L, I-N-I. It’s the best non-conference annual rivalry game each season due to the special true neutral site nature of it.
It’s No Longer Just About Braggin’
