The Burke steal!
This was a classic play that has to rank up there with others in the Michigan-MSU series such as the Douglas 3-pointer, the Manningham TD and the Dileo reception/Gibbons FG. What other little-brother-beating plays belong in this group?
Edit: For clarification, I'm referring to the steal on Appling which led to the game-winning basket, although the steal on Harris was arguably just as important.

Wait, you weren't watching the final seconds of the game so you could text your girlfriend? I know people are addicted to their phones, but holy shit, it could wait for 20 seconds. It's not like she'd know the difference.

Darius Morris
Darius Morris
For some reason this sticks out to me, but Michigan is up 5 with like :15 to go on MSU, who just drilled a 3. Morris gets the inbounds pass under the MSU basket, splits a double team, he goes behind the back around a MSU player, and then in the same motion, around the back AGAIN, head fakes one player, splits another double team in the paint, and finger rolls the layup in. Smooth as silk. Game. Over.

Hardaway and LeVert
Hardaway and LeVert
Watching Hardaway in that video reminds me a lot of LeVert this year: has a nice stroke when we gets going, has some quickness on the dribble, and skinny as a rail. I'm really hoping LeVert develops into a more consistent weapon. He made a great argument for himself last night picking up Stauskas' extra minutes.

Unbelievable..
Unbelievable..
It was amazing. I was lucky enough to be right behind the Michigan bench, and I swear there was a second of disbelief from the crowd, a collective gasp if you will, until Trey started dribbling the other way...and then it just went nuts when he slammed it homed.
I don't know where it ranks, but man was it a great play, and might have saved our season.

That was great!
That was great!
I work in Lansing an am one of about 5 Michigan fans surrounded by about 65 Spartys. I bet one guy on that football game an he told me he wanted 42 points. I agreed. MSU took the opening kickoff down the field and kicked a field goal. Michigan scored 48 unanswered points and I took his $20! Miss those days!

Perfect play to come back from that previous possession and just a great way to get everyone back into the game and just epitomized our rise from being the second teir basketball team in the state to finally asserting ourself as an elite force in the Big Ten.

To be at least somewhat fair, Trey Burke did give the Spartans something in return - their third straight loss.

Today's steal(s) were absolutely unbelievable. By far my favorite plays of this basketball season. The alley oop then slapping the floor/firing up the crowd was pretty great as well.

I felt like we were almost mocking state. They slap the floor a lot, and did it a couple of times already in this game. It felt like we were turning the game and that was our way of saying "get the fuck off our court" 2013 version. I personally hate the floor slapping as a routine though.
