Veterans Day game between Gonzaga, Michigan State on deck of Abraham Lincoln will be the first in a decade
A pair of national college basketball powers will meet on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in San Diego. Gonzaga and Michigan State will meet Veterans Day on the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln stationed at Naval Air Station North Island.
The Abraham Lincoln was deployed in January and is currently in Hawaii participating in the Rim of the Pacific maritime exercise, which runs through Aug. 4. It is scheduled to return to its home port at NAS North Island by the fall. ESPN Events created the Armed Forces Classic in 2012, though the previous eight events all have been staged at U.S. bases located domestically and abroad in Germany, Japan and South Korea.“I wouldn’t rule out any particular venue, quite frankly,” said Overby, adding, “Anytime you’re outside you’re dealing with unknowns. No matter how good the predictive models are, there is some uncertainty you have to contend with.
On Veterans Day a year earlier — 11-11-11 — Michigan State defeated North Carolina 67-55 in San Diego on the flight deck of the Carl Vinson.
