Michigan vs MSU MBB Open Thread

Submitted by Rather be on BA on

T-minus 60 minutes to game time.  I just got off a long day of work and am looking forward to a great game.  Figured we could fire this thing up early here to get some conversation going for this huge game.  

If Michigan wins today we will be the first team to beat 3 top ten teams in a row in a season since Iowa did in 1986-87 (per ESPN stats and info).

Go Blue!  BEAT STAEE.

I love John Beilein and all that he stands for but I wish he was more of an ass only when it came to the offiicials so we can get the calls like the Creans, Izzos, and Ryans of the world

For real.. Robinson III NEEDS to be a big part of these big time rivalry games, especially on the road. This makes 3 games now against MSU where he's basically a no show. And Dawson isn't even there to shut him down.

Man do I hate watching MSU play basketball at home.  That stadium is full with some of the most boorish fans in the conference, and you put those players in front of them and suddenly every guy in green and white is acting like he's a baller.

I hate the izzone more than I hate people who go through intersections when there's clearly no room and the light turns green for my side and I can't go because they're in the way.

For fuck sakes. This conference and their refs are a complete joke. Call the game fairly. I'm tired of this shit in football and basketball.

71-66 State

And the board will melt down over a series of highly questionable offensive calls made early on Nik that will make him sit most of the first half.  And late we'll get treated to more iffy calls against both Morgan & Horford.  I predict the team with the fewest personal fouls in the country will find itself in deep foul trouble early and late due to off the ball moving screens and charging calls against our shooters and over the back calls against our bigs.  

Breslin is one of those sphincter tightening arenas for the B1G refs.  Their fans & Izzo intimidate the hell out of the officials and it shows.
