Indiana’s A.J. Guyton and Michigan State’s Mateen Cleaves are some of the best players to wear their respective jerseys. During Sunday afternoon’s Michigan State-Indiana game at Assembly Hall, the two old rivals took to Twitter to interact about the big-time matchup that featured two one-loss Big Ten teams. See some of the highlights of their interactions in this post.

@Mateen_Cleaves I think MSU needs to force IU to play half court basketball if the want to win, their advantage is inside.—

@Mateen_Cleaves STATE is doing its job, keep it close until the final 5 minutes. IU needs to pull away ASAP!—

I love both of those guys. Why does not the Big Ten have them on TV analyzing games or Studio wk?
It was great to see these guys interact on Twitter. They also talked about getting more former players to join in on the conversation and even hinted that they wanted to get together in person for a “reunion” of sorts. Great to see that the common bond of playing in the B1G brought these great guys together.
