PORTLAND, Ore. - The “Motion” and “Victory” brackets for PK80 presented by State Farm – the 16-team, early-season men’s college basketball event honoring Nike co-founder and 2012 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Phil Knight celebrating his 80th birthday – have been finalized.
Playing in the Victory bracket, Michigan State will open against Georgetown, in what will be the third-ever meeting between the Spartans and Hoyas. MSU will face either Connecticut or Oregon in the second game. The other half of MSU’s bracket includes North Carolina, Portland, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The two eight-team brackets will run simultaneously in the Moda Center and Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Ore.
