Since I posted bad info in another thread, I figured I better get a game thread started with correct info.  Tipoff is Thursday night at 7:00 ET.

He is a Spartan fan. I did the same thing my dad did. I told both of them they could root for anyone they wanted. I only had 2 rules. Once you decide, you must support that team when they were down as well as when they are good and it couldn't be Illinois. Dad didn't have the second rule. Lol

I was 9 when I became a Hoosier fan for life. It happened because we could only get Terre Haute stations and IU had Buckner, May, Benson and company. Both of my boys became interested and following basketball when Mateen Cleaves played and they won the Championship.

Wait.....what?!?

You are way more accommodating as a parent than I am. My kid starts cheering for another B1G team I'd punch him in the face. Just kidding.....it would probably be a gut punch.  :120:
I just don't believe in forcing the kids to think the way I do. Lol. I'm just glad it wasn't Illinois.

I'll be there tomorrow! Looking forward to it! I am starved for basketball season. Really interested to see the lineup and rotation tomorrow. My guess with Devonte and Race out:

Rob

Romeo

Zach

Justin

Juwan

Al, Fitzner, Jerome, De'Ron, and Damezi off the bench in that order.
