EAST LANSING, Mich. – When the Michigan State University men’s basketball team takes on the University of Connecticut in Saturday’s NCAA Tournament semifinal, Spartan fans will have several choices as to where to watch the game.
If planning to stay close to East Lansing to watch the game, one choice is the Breslin Center, which will open its doors and show the game on the big screens.
The doors will open at 5 p.m. Saturday. Admission and parking are free. Seats will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and the concession stands will be open. The Breslin Center will remain open for the second semifinal game between North Carolina and Villanova.
Should MSU win Saturday and move on to the finals Monday night, the Breslin Center will again be open to view the game. Doors will open then at 8:15 p.m.
The Breslin Center is located at Kalamazoo Street and Harrison Avenue, on the west side of the MSU campus.
In addition, there will be a number of other on-campus venues to watch the game.
