MSU basketball to honor 2000 national champion team during Florida game

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.
