In an unusual change of scenery, Midnight Madness changed venues this year from the Breslin Center to just across the street at Munn Ice Arena, but nonetheless, the event proved to be a success as always.
This year’s theme was based on the epic movie “300” which documents 300 Spartan warriors going against an outnumbering army.
Just as the clip of “300” at every MSU football game has had success, the basketball team adopted the same idea, with players entering the court shirtless in a green cape, holding a circular golden shield.
Then coach Tom Izzo made his annual entrance at Midnight Madness. In past years he has been catapulted down from the rafters in Breslin, and last year he arrived on an army tank.
This year, Izzo entered the court decked out in silver Spartan warrior armor, taking off his helmet to reveal a fake warrior-like beard, much like the king of Sparta in “300”.
