Is the preseason hype real? Can Michigan State win a national title this season? Hall of Fame head coach Tom Izzo certainly believes the pieces are in place to make some noise and the first chance to catch a glimpse of the 2017-18 Spartans can be seen live on FloHoops.

On Friday, Oct. 20, watch Michigan State's men's and women's celebrate the start of the season at its annual Midnight Madness event inside the Breslin Center in East Lansing, MI.

All of the action, which includes introductions and scrimmages, and performances by the Spartan Marching Band and drumline, Michigan State cheerleaders, MSU dance team and Sparty, begins at 9:30 PM ET.

Coming off a 20th consecutive NCAA Tournament, the Spartans return eight of their Top 10 scorers from a season ago, including sophomore and preseason Player of the Year candidate Miles Bridges (16.9 ppg., 8.3 rpg.), while adding key frontcourt help in 2017 Flo40 No. 15 Jaren Jackson Jr. and Xavier Tillman.

On the women's side, head coach Suzy Merchant gets back double-digit scorer Branndais Agee (10.0 ppg., 6.6 rpg.) and point guard Taryn McCutcheon (7.0 ppg., 5.1 apg.) from a 21-win NCAA Tournament squad in 2016-17.

Don't miss Michigan State's loud entry into the new college basketball season, and get ready for a potentially historic year.
