While the NBA is preparing for the 2023 playoffs, the NCAA tournament is currently in the midst of March Madness. Basketball fans are cheering on their favorite college teams as they compete for this year’s championship. After the second round concluded, Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade commended his university basketball team following their recent matchup against Michigan State. The former NBA superstar sent his love to the Golden Eagles via a dedicated story on his Instagram handle. But that’s not all. Wade also gave fans a sneak peek into his day out with his family.

Before dominating the NBA world, Dwyane Wade spent three glorious years playing for the Marquette Golden Eagles under the guidance of coach Tom Crean. During his second season with the Golden Eagles, Wade led his team to the Final Four for the first time in over two decades. His impressive run with Marquette prompted the college to retire his jersey, despite not having finished his studies due to the 2003 NBA Draft.

The game that took place at Nationwide Arena witnessed the Spartans defeat their opponents 69-60.
