I hereby propose that Denard be present at every MBB game henceforth.
With the aide of his magical rainbow smile, an army of unicorns will lead us to victory!

This one goes out to the badest MoFo around. Coach B.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:22 PM ^
So happy to hear the Muppets. During those last 30 seconds, all I could think of was the game at Crisler two years ago and think, "NOT AGAIN! NOT AGAIN!"
GO BLUE!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:25 PM ^
it's been 681 days since sparty beat michigan in basketball.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
WOOT, WOOT.... Its great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:28 PM ^
will have to share the brunette girls market with Douglass now!
January 18th, 2012 at 12:30 PM ^
Douglas and Gibbons can has ALL OF THE BRUNETTE GIRLS
January 17th, 2012 at 9:28 PM ^
Get the eff off my court, Spartans!!!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:29 PM ^
WE ARE BACK!!!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:31 PM ^
wooooooooooo!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
I almost couldn't watch. The thought of another Kalin Lucas moment (glad no one kicked Appling in the head) was MAD REAL.
Instead, we won. Onto... wait, Arkansas?
January 17th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
looked like they were sitting next to Loyd Brady. Is there confirmation ??
January 17th, 2012 at 9:45 PM ^
I thought that too at first, but after the second look I don't think so.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:57 PM ^
Lloyd Brady was closer to center court.
January 18th, 2012 at 2:32 AM ^
He was center court, first couple rows of the Maize Rage. He got in a tussle with another kid over a t-shirt during the t-shirt toss. And the other kid got the shirt.
I admired Lloyd Brady's tenacity in not wanting to give it up, though.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:55 PM ^
It wasn't Lloyd Brady.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:11 PM ^
picture pages of the audience. UFR: Treezy and Denard each get +1 for Blues Brothers and +1 for annoying Izzo. Lloyd gets +1 for center court positioning.
January 18th, 2012 at 11:05 AM ^
How did Denard get stuck behind the Sparty bench? He should be sitting alongside the Michigan players, providing inspiration with his million-dollar smile!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
Greatest freshman at Michigan since Webber??
January 17th, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
Howard and Rose were pretty damn good freshmen too but Burke is right there.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:49 PM ^
It's not like they were in between Webber and Burke, though.
January 18th, 2012 at 9:48 AM ^
when McGary is the next Super Frosh. (I hope...)
January 17th, 2012 at 11:46 PM ^
Burke is defintely playing ridiculous this year, I love this kid...I do wanna give some respect to Lavell Blanchard and Daniel Horton, who both attended BSHU (Ball So Hard University) as freshman too
January 17th, 2012 at 9:42 PM ^
STU U PUT THE LAYUP THROUGH THE HOOP!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:48 PM ^
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
January 17th, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
John Beilein is going swervin' in his lolo, head on a swivel.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:57 PM ^
Huge win, and not just because it was over Sparty. Coming off the Iowa loss, and with the tough stretch ahead, there was a possibility of the wheels coming off. Hardaway and Smotrycz's slumps didn't help any. But we stopped the bleeding, grabbed a big win for our tourney résumé and now we can go to Arkansas full of confidence.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
A gif of shoelace dancing to the blues brothers for celebratory moments like this.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
Long time lurker finally signing up to post this (hopefully gif will work?)
EDIT: apparently already all over the blog, oops! Can't hurt to have it somewhere more easily accessible than the colossal posbang thread
January 18th, 2012 at 1:28 AM ^
I have no words for how this makes me feel... so I'll just express it much like they are in the .gif:
AHHHHH YEEEEEEEAHAHAHAHAUUUGHHHHHFLLGLGLBLLBLBLAHAAHAHAAAA YEEEAAAAAAA
January 18th, 2012 at 4:19 AM ^
Roundtree came from the future in order to save the past.
January 18th, 2012 at 10:13 AM ^
all things aside, take a look at his expressions. I'm happy we won, but I'm even more happy to see hardworking kids be able to let go and enjoy life a little.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:59 PM ^
Gif of Beilein dancing to T-pain!
January 17th, 2012 at 10:44 PM ^
Beilein has major swag! Izzo admitted in the post game presser that us coming out with a different line up took them out of their strategy...NW did the exact same thing to us two games ago. Beilein has already learned from that and used it to our benefit in the Biggest Game of the year! Love that man!
January 17th, 2012 at 11:53 PM ^
Yes please! I somehow missed it, and now really want to see either a video clip of it or a gif
January 17th, 2012 at 10:06 PM ^
ME SOOO VERY VERY HAPPY!
January 17th, 2012 at 10:13 PM ^
Trey Burke is hands down the best PG in the Big Ten as a Freshman! That Man has maturity beyond his years.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^

What it means: Michigan has now beaten Michigan State three straight times -- the first time that has happened since a five-game win streak from 1996-98. It also might turn the tide in a rivalry that had been majorly one-sided for Michigan State. It also gives the Wolverines a signature win for March in January.
Forget your jersey sales. We have trey Burke.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:52 PM ^
rothstein nods to mgoblog. very cool.
January 17th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
MUPPETS!!!!
January 18th, 2012 at 1:14 AM ^
Lloyd Brady looking pretty happy...
January 18th, 2012 at 10:09 AM ^
Tremendous!
January 18th, 2012 at 6:55 AM ^
...and kept moving my eyes back to my phone for Twitter updates. When i saw that Burke had a block the last few seconds and then msu missed the jumper, I jumped out of my seat screaming. lol
January 18th, 2012 at 10:34 AM ^
wait are those muppets copyrighted, because SOPA...
January 18th, 2012 at 10:42 AM ^
Just reading the blogs on ESPN, sooo many idiot excuses by Sparty fans....its pretty funny.
Great win, Trey Burke is ridiculous
Love being a Wolverine
