Mike Brkovich is a former Canadian basketball player from Windsor, Ontario. Of Serbian background (Serbian: Брковић, Brković), Brkovich was a leader in the 1970s W.D. Lowe H.S. team in Windsor, Ontario which won the Ontario Provincial Championship in 1976 and [1] 1977. He then played on the Michigan State Spartans team that won the 1979 NCAA tournament, defeating Larry Bird's Indiana State Sycamores.
