Go Blue.  Shock the World.  (Or just the regional audience interested in this early season matchup with limited consequences).

Spartans played better and deserve the win.  That said, it seems unfair to give so much leeway to certain coaches for intimidation and distraction of officials and encourages all players and coaches to behave this way just to counteract the worst actors’ influence.

Refs should not interact directly with a coach one on one most of the time.  the game should be bigger than any Tom Izzo, coach k, knight, etc. why do these windbags get so much deference in a game that is not theirs any more than any other participant?  make the coaches adjust. If Izzo gets tossed 8 games in a row for lobbying before he learns, that’s on him. I’m tired of watching this nonsense year after year.  Earn wins on the court.  Home teams never lose anymore.
