According to the Associated Press, the Michigan State and Gonzaga men's basketball teams will play a game in California on November 11th.
It will be the first game on an aircraft carrier in almost four years.
Michigan State lost to North Carolina in the Carrier Classic on the aircraft carrier. Izzo said it was one of the most enlightening experiences of his career.
"Obviously, we wanted to win and any game against a program like that is very special, but to me, the game was about more than just a win or a loss," he said.
The chance to play on an aircraft carrier in front of men and women who serve in the military and are willing to put their lives on the line is an experience that is going to mean something to the young men who will play in the game for a long, long time. We're going to play one of the best teams in the country and we're going to be hosted by the world's top team.
There will be a tough stretch for the Spartans in the upcoming weeks.

Mark Few shared the same sentiment as Izzo when he talked about playing on the ship.
He said that the program could support those who fight for their country in a small way. We're looking forward to the game against Michigan State and their coach. This will be a great memory for all of us.
The quality of play was affected in 2012 when a number of games were affected by rain, wind or condensation on the court. In the event Mother Nature doesn't cooperate, plans would be put in place, according to Clint Overby.
It will be a unique event if bad weather isn't present.
Vice Adm. Whitesell said that those who have served know that the military is a team sport. I can't think of a better way to honor our men and women in uniform than by celebrating this all-American pastime on one of our nation's capital warships.
