Smiles, autographs and Spartan hoops.
That's what Midnight Madness does.
The annual event brought thousands of MSU fans to the Breslin Center to meet and greet their favorite players and coaches.
Tom Izzo and Suzy Merchant signed hundreds of autographs before taking the newly minted floor to introduce their teams and talk about their upcoming seasons.
The players, young and old, also get hyped for the event, as it is for some, the first time they really get to see how devoted Spartan Nation is.
Action sports reporter Justin Rose caught up with some of the players and coaches to discuss the uniqueness of the annual event.
