The Michigan State Spartans will make a trip to historic Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Wednesday — one of the great cathedrals in Indiana basketball and a place were parts of the legendary movie “Hoosiers” were shot — to face the Butler Bulldogs in the Gavitt Tipoff Games.
In case anybody is wondering, the eight-year series between the Big East and the Big Ten is played in honor of Hall Of Famer Dave Gavitt, a former coach and Big East commissioner who passed away in 2011. For Michigan State the contest presents another early season test in a daunting yet awesome environment, as Hinkle will for sure be rocking for the arrival of the Spartans.
