Two college basketball teams will square off atop a San Diego-based aircraft carrier this upcoming Veterans Day, the Navy said Wednesday.
"Those who serve, and who have served, know that the military is the ultimate team sport, and I can think of no better way to salute our men and women in uniform than to celebrate this all-American pastime together on one of our nation's capital warships."
Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said,"This opportunity to play on an aircraft carrier in front of the men and women who willingly put their lives on the line will be an experience that is going to mean something to the young men who will play in the game for a long, long time.
The Spartans played in the 2011 Carrier Classic aboard the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego, as well as the inaugural Armed Forces Classic one year later at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. Also in 2012, San Diego State University fell to Syracuse on deck of USS Midway.
