MBB vs. MSU Game Open Thread

OK, we're almost an hour away from the biggest game in John Beilein's Michigan career, which makes it just about the biggest in recent Michigan Basketball history. For some of you, you might not have been alive long enough to remember anything bigger.  If we lose, we can probably pinpoint bigger games, but if we win, and can follow it up with a Tourney appearance (showing going isn't just a fluke), turning a corner (if not actually catching up) against MSU, which can only help on the recruiting trail, and to basically not have all the positive momentum derail, there's no way to overstate how big that would be.  Which makes this afternoon BIG.  If ever we needed basketball to GO BLUE, it's today.  Let's do it.

I almost feel like I have a game today. I'm sitting here in bed trying to time my shower correctly so I can just leave to watch the game right after.

I'm not as nervous as before one of my hockey games, but this compares mentally to a cross country meet or a tennis match, I think.

It feels just like a 3:30 kickoff during football season.  Particularly watching the games that are on before ours and seem like they will never end.

This is the biggest game at Crisler Arena that I can remember.  A must-win game for both teams.

This is an opportunity to beat our biggest basketball rival, to send them to the NIT, to secure our spot in the tourner, to stamp the Tim Hardaway Jr. Era. Personally,  I think this is a lot bigger than the tournament games.

Memphis should continue to fall out of brackets as others update. A Clemson win and a Michigan win should move Michigan to 5th to last in. That, I think, would pretty much seal a spot for us.
