Spartan Nation,

We are the Michigan State Basketball Managers, and we are asking for your support as we work to travel to Indianapolis for the 2026 Manager Games Final Four. The Manager Games will take place all day Friday at the Indianapolis Convention Center, and we are proud to represent Michigan State on this national stage.

This season, our team finished with a 6–7 regular season record and earned a 13 seed in the 2026 Manager Games Tournament. Despite being one of the lower seeds, we have made an incredibly deep run with the support of Spartan Nation. We have battled through the bracket and are now one of the final eight teams remaining in the country. Our underdog run to the Manager Games Elite Eight has been fueled by hard work, resilience, and Spartan pride, and we are excited for the opportunity to compete in Indianapolis and continue this historic run.

As basketball managers for one of the most prestigious programs in the country, our daily responsibilities include setting up practice, assisting with drill execution, breaking down film, rebounding, and supporting the team in any way possible. In our limited free time, we share a passion for playing the game ourselves, competing in pickup games and participating in manager games against opposing teams whenever possible.

Manager games, often called “the game before the game,” take place the night before the official matchup and serve as a unique and exciting tradition across college basketball. Each game we play contributes to building a résumé strong enough to earn a place in the Manager Games Final Four in Indianapolis.

Travel and lodging expenses for Indianapolis are significant, and we are seeking support from Spartan Nation to help make this opportunity possible. Contributions will go directly toward travel and accommodations, with any additional funds supporting the Michigan State Basketball Manager Endowment.

We truly appreciate any support you are able to provide as we represent Michigan State and work to bring a Manager Games Championship back to East Lansing. Thank you for your continued support of Spartan Basketball.

Go Green!
