The hardest State has played all game has been the last 2 minutes when they're down almost 20 and clearly have lost.
Gotta cover that spread for the moral victory
Or could it be that Maryland took their foot off the gas and coasted to the finish. Remember, they have to play tomorrow.
If you want some enjoyment, read some of the beginning comments when MSU was up 23-11 saying that MSU had figured it out and they’re now a dangerous team. Lol.
They're still dangerous.
They cause a lot of injuries.
Sissoko is a walking flagrant foul
Yeah, it was unlikely MSU was going to continue shooting 70% from 2 in this game, yet the same couple of "oh man, January, February, Izzo! Watch out!" complaints popped up.
Rocket Watts 1-5 3pts
Kid couldn’t miss a shot against us and then is nonexistent today. Always seems to work out that way
Can't wait to hear Izzo's post game whine.
Sparty tears taste even better when they dick tease their fans by making it into the NCAA tourney and then get Molly Whopped by some mid-major in the first round.
Who's Molly?
Pics?
I will say I agree with the announcers that this Maryland team is different than the one UM played earlier in the year; they're a top-30 KenPom team and while those last two games against NW and PSU weren't great they still finished strong overall. Michigan isn't a great match-up for them because of Dickinson and UM's length on the perimeter but this feels like a game where UM won't just be able to run and hide like they did with their wins earlier in the year. It'll be more of a grind, even if in the end it's a UM win.
DOWN goes sparty! Love it! Glad to see Maryland get the win. Can we go 2 for 2 if Minny pulls an upset against the buckeyes? The sparty loss makes my day very pleasant regardless.
AND DOWN GOES SPARTY BY ROCKET MORTAGE
wait til RCMB hears about what happened to SBRM (sparty by rocket mortgage).
Staee by Rocket Mortgage?
Pisses me off that we lost to this MSU team. I don't care that we were shorthanded and gave a F- effort cuz we had nothing to play for, they are an absolutely awful basketball team that we should've destroyed for the 2nd time in 4 days. They don't belong in the tourney and we should've been the ones to keep them out of it.
Yep. 100% agree. Michigan played down to their level - which is never good.
I mean home/road and neutral court Sparty is just a complete mindboggling thing this year. Rocket Watts on a player level is probably a perfect example, absolutely awful most of the time and randomly pulls contested jumper after contested jumper out of his ass at home against UM.
Though I agree that a UM team even without Brooks, that actually plays well and motivated still beats Sparty last Sunday and sure as hell would have been nice to end their tournament hopes.
Agreed. But I guess we'll get to enjoy watching "Mr. March" get spanked in the 1st round again.
Just like football.
Rocky Lombardi is an absolute dogshit QB, and career stats to match, who shouldn't even be starting for a HS let alone a P5 team.
Then he puts up: 17/32, 323, 10.1, 3/0 against Michigan.

Well that one can be more easily explained, since UM's secondary did in fact suck all year.
They may get into the tournament, but they may get dealt the play-in game.
Sparty Nooooooooo
speaking of B10 tournaments in hoops, the WBB is tied at half, 30-30, facing NW. let's go ladies, go blue!
EDIT: rough start for the ladies to the 2nd half. down 38-32, shooting 1-10 from 3, 31% overall. come on ladies, kick it in gear.
Arico tail spin continues. They need a good x and o coach to utilize the talent. She’s good spokeman but not great coach sorry. Record against teams with pulse shows it.
And she needs to quit whining about top 4 seed. Because they are not and should be 5 or 6 seed for sure.
Agree. They said the team had a chip on their shoulder for not being ranked higher.
KAB is a good recruiter. That’s about it.
bummer, big stumble for the ladies continues:
Northwestern
(14-7, 11-7 Big Ten)
17-13-16-19 65
13 Michigan
(14-4, 9-4 Big Ten)
13-17-8-11 49
Awful.
Remember how many were concerned the pause would adversely affect the men's basketball team?
Unfortunately, those fears came to fruition for the women's team.
Thad matta's nose, that's what's missing
Minnesota has no chance of a comeback. Refs calling any contact whatsoever a foul for the Buckeyes in the 2nd half.
And they chuck up one on one perimeter shots all game long.
Man, Minny could have won this game. Impressed with their effort. Shot terribly in all categories...trailing the whole game by basically double digits...and still turned it into a last second loss.
Spotted OSU 13pts at the beginning too lol...outscored them by basically 10 points over the last 35 minutes or so.
Ohio St probably just wore themselves out heading into a matchup with Purdue.
Minnesota-OSU getting interesting here at the end
OSU up one with 11 seconds left (with ball trapped in corner) and their guard TRAVELS while being trapped,(its not called by refs) ,two seconds later OSU calls TO When Pittino sees this replay,he will be getting a 50K fine for going off of the refs
Damn! Beilein is looking very old. The Big Ten studio lights are not kind to him.
When Beilein came to Michigan he was 54 and i thought he was ,83 much of it due to 35 years coaching ,but he also looked 83 --- 15 years ago
Knowing that hes only 68 ,im thinking he will be a coach somewhere for another 5 years ,its on his blood
What happened to January, February, Izzo, April?
Awesome to hear the fans on the Jackson-Davis dunk
Rutgers looking good in transition.
Is there any lead for Indiana that is safe?
Not when Archie is the coach
FUCK IU!
Archie Miller seems like a nice guy. His teams look poorly coached. Way over paid for the results he is getting. Indiana threw alot of money his way.
Watching IU lose with Archie has been fun - I will miss it.
Wow. A lot of booing from IU fans. No class.
No Dook, IU, or kentucky in the tourney and were a #1 seed. Life is good!
