Michigan Basketball vs. MSU Open Thread

Submitted by M-Wolverine on
What else do you want to talk about?!? Huge game where somebody's season hits rock bottom. Michigan's slide continues and the season series vs. the Spartans is lost, or MSU loses 3 in a row and is out of the B1G race, and, well, loses to Michigan. Can't get much bigger without a title on the line. The road to a long Tourney run starts here. Go Blue!

I would still like to know why MSU was given the ball on that side of half court. No one for MSu had possession of the ball across half court before time was called. That should have been inbounded in the backcourt.

MSU had a week to prepare for us and started out 5-9 from downtown.  We didn't hit a single 3 and were coming off the worst loss of the season.

I will take this, tyvm.

I think I'm gonna vomit. In a good way.

Might be the first time in history that a team wins without hitting a single three point shot, but a win is a win. And that win was as big a must-have as one could get.

Trey Burke is a god amongst mere mortals.

we are still in fifth place due to the B1G tie breaking system and since we lost to everyone we are tied with we are still the 5 seed.  You can thank the PSU loss.

yes i am in the moment but the truth has to set in that we are still in fifth, not second like some of you seems to think.  we control our destiny to get out of that fifth slot.  two wins this week and two losses by IU and we share title.  it's all up to ohio state.  but if they win two, they sharing too.

We're in second for the regular season title. There is no tie-breaker for that. And while we may be the 5th seed four the B1G Tourney "if it were to end today" it doesn't end today, and two of the 2nd place teams still have to play each other, so all these teams can't be tied at the end of the season. If MSU beats Wisconsin at home the three way tie might very well favor us with a better overall record. And OSU would have to beat Indiana to remain tied so that would mean to stay in the tie we'd all have to win the title. So your point is inaccurate.

I was watching with a couple of minute delay. After the MM OOB play I just hit FF because Izzo always call a TO. They came out of the to and UM suddenly had 2 more points. I was so confused.

Trrrrrrreeeyyyyyy - "GTFO my court!"

OK OK...I get it...Even though I bleed Scarlet and Grey my 12 year old sons loves the "guys up north". (Maybe he's adopted?  haha)...Wife is an Alumni of Michigan.

Point is; how can I continue to let a 12 year old read this blog on a daily basis with all of the "F-This" and "F-That" and "Eat Shit MSU" among other quotes.

I really wish the moderator would ban the obscene language. It just gives fuel for many people to get turned off by the printed language.

Not saying our fans are any better. At any school on gameday you hear every bit of languange, but the printed blogs should be cleaned up.

I know, I know,...If you don't like it then read another blog.  I get it.  But keeping a 12 year old off your blog is not something a dad wants to do.

Please ban the F-word to make alot of people happy. Nothing classy at all in printing the F-word on a daily basis. I just lowers your standards.  Thanks...Oh, by the way...Great game.
