Draymond Green and Steph Curry are often on the same page on the court, but not when it comes to their college basketball rooting interests.
Green is a proud, outspoken Michigan State alum while Curry is etched in Davidson lore. As fate would have it, the Spartans and Wildcats are the No. 7 vs. No. 10 matchup in the West Region of the men’s NCAA Tournament and Green has already announced a bet with Curry ahead of Friday’s matchup.

On Wednesday's episode of “The Draymond Green Show," Green predicted that No. 7 Michigan State will “destroy Steph Curry’s Davidson Wildcats,” even though the game is in South Carolina, giving Davidson “essentially a home game.”
If Green’s prediction holds true, Curry will have to come to a game dressed as the Spartans’ mascot, Sparty, in addition to paying a monetary sum.
“There will be a bet of Steph Curry walking into the game in the Sparty costume,” Green said. “Not just my jersey, not just a Michigan State T-shirt. He will come to a game as the Michigan State Spartan mascot. Sparty, that’s what he’s going to be.”
The Warriors' first game on schedule after the bet finds a resolution is a home tilt Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs.

Green wore a Michigan State T-shirt on his show, and said he was looking forward to Tom Izzo, or “Mr. March” coming through again during the NCAA Tournament.
But he did not reveal what he would have to do if Curry’s Wildcats prevailed.
Perhaps Steph’s got something even more embarrassing up his sleeves.
