Two who stood out - LSJ Blogs: Hey, Joe
"* The human interest story of the night, of course, was the reunion between Draymond Green and his older half-brother, Torrian Harris, a senior guard for the Mavericks.
They played in front of more than 30 family members and friends.

Green was glad his brother got to play at Breslin -- Harris had already graduated when Green led Saginaw High to consecutive Class A state titles there -- and show off his athleticism (which he certainly did with one emphatic lob dunk).

“I always talk about him, how high he can jump and stuff,' Green said, 'and for them to get to see him play and for him to play on this stage, he was never able to reach the Division I stage at a school like Michigan State, so for him to even play on the same court as us is an honor for him and it was an honor for me as well.”

Izzo put together the game at Green's request, as he did a year ago in getting Isaiah Dahlman and younger brother Noah (Wofford) together at Breslin."

"Green asked head coach Tom Izzo if the Spartans could host UN-O in an exhibition and Izzo obliged, setting up a brotherly reunion at the Bres for the second consecutive year (though last year's Dahlman family reunion against Wafford took place in the regular season).

"Usually I try to play the instate teams, but this is a unique (situation)," Izzo said after Friday’s practice.

"And after looking at what happened with Isaiah (Dahlman) and his brother, it's very seldom you get to do that in college basketball and so I really did it as a favor to Day-Day."
