MSU head basketball coach Tom Izzo confirmed Monday that the 2000 MSU national championship basketball team will be honored during his current No. 1 MSU basketball team's home game against Florida on Saturday.
The 2000 team went 32-7 and were led by the likes of Spartan legends Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson. Ironically enough, Florida is also the team MSU defeated in the championship game that year, 89-76.
Izzo said Saturday's event is something MSU has been looking to do, but hasn't been able to plan the event for a date where most of the team can come back.
