Big Ten Champ!!!

The best part about being in a Big Ten college is watching the Big Ten games, especially basketball!! Ping never gets the American football so have never followed the craze of football. Basketball is way more fun anyway!! Ping got season tickets with Pei to all the basketball home games. We've been following all the away games too and the Spartans is definitely a team worth spending the weekend watching!!
For the students tickets, you either get to sit right in front of the court (lower bowl) or all the way to the top of the stadium (upper bowl). To secure a seat at the lower bowl, you gotta be there at least an hour early. Since Ping and Pei is never free enough to spend so much time lepaking at a basketball court, we only get to sit at the upper bowl. The view from the top may not be much but the atmosphere is nothing like watching the game on tv!!!
Watching the game live, during timeouts and half-time, Sparty and the MSU Cheerleaders keep us entertain, which is way more fun than watching the UPS and Wendy's ads that Ping is starting to get bored of! The pic above was taken during one of the games during the holiday season where Sparty dressed up as a Santa Claus.

One of the most fun game...when we beat Minnesota 76-47.
The Spartans warming up their shots just before the game with Indiana in early February.

We beat them again last night at Indiana, giving us the Big Ten Championship title!!! Right after the game, we got the message that there will be a welcoming back to celebrate the win at the Breslin Center. Ping and Pei was super excited about it! Entering the tunnel into the Breslin Center with the Spartans logo in the background.
Hopefully we'll have more games to watch as they forward into the NCAA!!!
