Beginning today, BTN is taking its studio crew on the road as Michigan State prepares to play in its 10th Final Four in program history and eighth under coach Tom Izzo. The network?s trip to Minneapolis includes pre and postgame press conferences as well as multiple studio shows featuring Jon Crispin, Mike DeCourcy, Andy Katz and Dave Revsine. Fans are encouraged to visit the studio set, located at Seven Steakhouse Sushi & Rooftop (700 Hennepin Ave.) in downtown Minneapolis.
