MSU will play against Arizona and Kansas will play Indiana in a doubleheader as part of the fifth annual Armed Forces Classic in 2016. The game will happen close to the 75th anniversary of Japan’s Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
"To be able to play in the Armed Forces Classic for a second time is certainly an honor not only for the Spartan basketball program, but also Michigan State University,?" men's basketball head coach Tom Izzo said in a released statement. "?We'?ve been fortunate to play in some unbelievable events over the years, but the opportunity to play at Pearl Harbor is a unique opportunity. The chance to honor and entertain the current military members is amazing in itself, but the opportunity to be a part of the 75th Anniversary recognition of the attacks on Pearl Harbor is truly humbling."
