Tim Bograkos on Beating Kentucky and Final Fours

The Final Four Is Not On The Schedule - A Podcast Discussing Michigan State Basketball.

July 19, 2023: Famous MSU walk-on to starter, Tim Bograkos joined us to talk about what it was like playing for Coach Izzo back in the early 2000s. Tim became such an iconic player in Izzo's early career that the annual walk-on honor for MSU is named the Bograkos award.

Bograkos is probably most famous for hitting the game winning 3 point shot against Kentucky in Rupp Arena where Izzo quipped he was "the sixth option on the floor" at the time. Although he was never a prolific scorer, Bograkos represented what it meant to be a Spartan; unbridled energy and grit, intense defender, and relentless after loose balls and rebounds. he epitomized the OKG (our kind of guy) profile for MSU basketball and also showed how Izzo gave everyone opportunities to make impacts during the game no matter where you began your recruiting journey.
