I want us to be unranked after this. I want to forget we have a basketball team. I think its fitting because this game has been an expose. Michigan State isnt bad, but were awful. I dont know how we beat anybody. I dont want to root for this team anymore. Label my post some sort of overreaction, but we come out looking awful in our biggest games. We beat Ohio State on a fluke performance from Hardaway. Apparently we dont give a shit. So now I dont either. I hope we lose the rest of our games and no one pretends to like Michigan basketball anymore. It's only a game, sure. But now I have to listen to obnoxious state people who can actually say that they are better than us. And they're right. Good for them. We are Notre Dame football from 1993-2011 in every way. Also, Dan Dakich is obnoxious to listen to.

I agree. It was kind of a stupd thing to post. Giving it 15 minutes or so would have been wise
February 12th, 2013 at 10:39 PM ^
that last play by GRII...sad, 0 confidence. He would have dunked that, or at least tried too a month ago.

Fuck it, I'm gonna go watch some porn or something where I can be assured of a happy ending.
Yeah this game sucks. Shit happens. We get to take it out on Penn State this Saturday and then we have a week to get our heads right, which after this gauntlet will be a good thing.

OSU provided the blue print, especially on the pick and roll. Ever since then, we've been mediocre at best. Secondly, how is it that each team we play miraculously shoots the lights out? Our defense is atrocious. We've lost three of the last four games, and it could have been four in a row. We're overrated. Just that simple.

Michigan got Iron Shiek'd. MSU broke our backs and made us humble.

From the coach to the players... this team did not show up tonight. You can blame the refs, crowd, coaches, lack of of inside presence we feature on either end of the court.... This team NO SHOWED tonight. i do not expect this to happen again.

I think the team is kinda running on empty after 3 tough games in a relatively short period of time playing 5 freshmen. Yeah it sucks and I'm not excusing it, but it shouldn't be that big of a shock. Hopefully this is something they can learn from in March.

This teams ceiling is the sweet 16. No penetration on the offense, no effective scoring big men, and if the team we are playing has any semblance of a paint presence, we will struggle mightly. I hate to say it but it is true. Thanks Trey for all of you hard work!

We are an easy team to defend.

Kansas came back after two shitty games in a row to destroy KSU.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:45 PM ^
I think I'll open that 3rd bottle of Cab.......i've had a bad day and now I have to watch us lose by 30 to fuckin sparty.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:45 PM ^
Ten straight 3s, and we're right back in this.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:45 PM ^
So this takes out of a chance for #1 ranking next week right guyz?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:46 PM ^
Sad panda.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:48 PM ^
Duke lost by 30 and made it back to #1 in two weeks, but thats Dook for ya
February 12th, 2013 at 10:46 PM ^
We got embarrased, exposed and probably showed that we aren't going to win a national championship because we won't get past a team with a physical frontcourt, pretty dissapointing.

Can we just let the game go on. Does it really matter if that is counted

Dakich comments about ads on backsides was the smartest thing he said all night.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:49 PM ^
Michigan just didnt show up to play tonight. They look like boys against men - no toughness. From the opening tipoff, they simply looked lackluster and not mentally ready to play. I'm not sure what they have to do to wake up GR3 but he is awful on the road.
in their defense, the schedule has been brutal. They may be out of gas.
Just need to return the favor come MSU's return visit to AA in March...
Go Blue

I think every top team this season has had a game where they got absolutely DEMOLISHED in a loss. I guess it was just our turn. Sucks it had to be against Sparty.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:49 PM ^
I have been watching The Blue since '77. This is easily the most embarrassing loss for our MBB team in my life team. Why? Because, for the most part, we thought that this was a W. When in reality, this just shows that we are comletey in transition . THJ is a solid three star who cannot take over a game against a very good team. GRIII is a pretty good freshman who needs two more years in the league, Blouses is growing but still a good freshman. MM, is real but young. Trey is real but every once in a while is play for the scout (fade away three?) and crazy street ball shots.
We need two more years of true talen infusion. Go Blue, I still love you but we are still JV!
February 12th, 2013 at 10:52 PM ^
This is probably the definition of overracting. Michigan had lost 3 games on the road by a combined 14 points going into this one. They have beaten MSU 3 out of 4 going into this and still have MSU at home later this year.
Michigan showed a ton of holes tonight, but to call them JV is just stupid
