    MSU Basketball Practices At Ford Field
    EAST LANSING, Mich. -


    #21/20 Michigan State (3-3)
    vs. #8/2 Kentucky (4-0)


    December 13, 2003
    4 p.m. EST
    Detroit, Mich.
    Ford Field

    Radio: Spartan Sports Network - Will Tieman (Play by Play), Gus Ganakas (Color). Flagship - WJIM (1240 AM/97.5 FM) Game will also be heard on American Forces Network on over 400 stations in more than 174 countries and by all U.S. Armed Forces at sea.

    TV: CBS - Verne Lundquist (Play by Play), Billy Packer (Color).

    The Opening Tip

    Michigan State and Kentucky will play at Detroit's Ford Field in front of an expected crowd of more than 75,000 establishing a new world record for basketball attendance. Currently, the world record of 75,000 belongs to the Harlem Globetrotters for an exhibition game in 1951 in Berlin, Germany. The Spartans will be playing their second straight game in the Detroit area as they lost to Oklahoma last Saturday at The Palace of Auburn Hills. MSU is looking for its third-straight win over the Wildcats. </div> </font>

    This game will go down as one of the greatest games in NCAA history. It will set the all-time attendance record for a basketball game as 75,000 people pack Ford Field tomorrow. Imagine 65,000 Michigan State fans going crazy with 10,000 or so Kentucky fans also in attendance. That game should be wild to say the least. If Kentucky wins, they'll be number one in the ESPN Poll and Michigan State will fall out of the rankings. If Michigan State wins, they'll move back into the top fifteen and Kentucky will fall out of the top ten in the AP Poll. Predictions? Bets? Comments?

    Yeah, this should be a great game. But, in my opinion, Michian State will prevail. Kentucky has played great thusfar, so its a hard choice. But I will take MSU.

    That game was sick. The court caught my attention instead of the game. Kind of cool how the team bench was more like a dugout. That was incredible. Nice win Kentucky. Was hoping for the Spartans to take it though.
