MSU v. OSU is On Right Now
Mates,
Loved our win tonight, but of great interest is the ohio v. MSU game going on in EL right now. Don't know what the over/under is on broken noses, but hopefully the 'over' is achieved.
Go ohio? Go sparty? Go meteor?
Anyway, great night of hoops, Go Blue!

Now that UM pretty much has the B1G locked up it's time to root against Sparty no matter what.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:18 PM ^
I’m not rooting FOR Ohio St but I am rooting against MSU. I want them bastards home in March during the real tournament.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:18 PM ^
I would love to see Staee taken out
February 25th, 2021 at 9:18 PM ^
Sparty figured things out and are going to be super annoying
February 25th, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
i think this is exactly where i am at. i saw them play a few good games earlier in the year and then they played like crud. now they look like they're getting it together again. i think our last two reg. season games are going to be barn burners. we better wear cups and helmets.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:21 PM ^
Put Brown on Henry and I think we're fine. Who else is gonna create for them?
February 25th, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
I hate rooting for OSU, so I will just root against Sparty.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
Really want Sparty to lose, but I hate Ohio State so much. Sparty missing the tourney would be awesome! Go meteor!
February 25th, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
Neither team will come close to touching us in the B1G standings. That makes every second of every game enjoyable for me!
February 25th, 2021 at 9:22 PM ^
Hale Bopp -- please strike Breslin.
Go Blue.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:23 PM ^
MSU literally beat one decent team and I guess they're supposedly good now? Eh.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:27 PM ^
i think they've put together some good games. maybe everything had to align just right for them, but you have to give them credit for beating illinois, 'beating' being the operative word.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:30 PM ^
Yeah, anything can happen in a given game, we saw that against Minnesota earlier this year, but I certainly wouldn't bet on them. We'll have to bring our B+ game to win.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:30 PM ^
To me I just see a decent team that has some talent and they are playing extra hard the last few games. They remind me of a more talented Rutgers, they are gonna try to scrap, claw and beat you with rebounds and hustle points. Tonight they have 8 fast break points for example. When I say all the above they will still give us a run for our money just like Rutgers did, especially in East Lansing.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:34 PM ^
you and block M are filling the details and i think you both are spot-on.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:37 PM ^
If you listen to the announcers, frankly I'm surprised they aren't a 1 seed.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:24 PM ^
Whoever approved these OSU unis should go to prison.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:27 PM ^
I hope to never to see us wear black uniforms.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:32 PM ^
they are cursed. so were those gray things they wore when we beat them saturday.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:25 PM ^
LET'S GO METEOR.......LET'S GO!
February 25th, 2021 at 9:28 PM ^
satellite photo of EL...
February 25th, 2021 at 11:05 PM ^
A lot of excitement in East Lansing tonight. Think of the couches they'll be able to take out in that inferno.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:26 PM ^
Fuck State!!
February 25th, 2021 at 9:28 PM ^
Asshole A vs. Asshole B.
Fuck both of them.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:29 PM ^
Dirty
February 25th, 2021 at 9:42 PM ^
Asshole A1 vs Asshole A2?
February 25th, 2021 at 9:29 PM ^
OSU playing sloppy against MSU aggressive D and they are “absolutely a tournament quality team?” I may have to mute my tv to not hear the slurping sounds by the announcers.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:33 PM ^
Izzo has probably been slipping some $100's to the refs for the games against UM already.
PROMISE his strategy will be Dickinson in big time FOUL trouble early and often. (BOTH games).
He wants him off the floor. The ANGRY troll will be in full force in a few games.
Just you wait.
Go Blue.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:35 PM ^
That didn't work for Iowa and Luka Garza. I'm not too worried about the sparty center poopoo platter.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:41 PM ^
He’ll also be halfway out on the court multiple times barking orders at his players and the refs will do nothing about it. He’s been getting away with that for well over a decade.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:44 PM ^
how hard would you laugh if a guy like chaundee brown, who you know spends some time in the weight room, literally ran right over tiny tom as tiny was out on the court and chaundee sank a 3 and started on his way back down the court. that would be one of those all-time great gifs. could happen, too.
February 26th, 2021 at 8:49 AM ^
Was it 2018 when Mo Wagner did that to Tom Crean? Was one of my favorite highlights of the season.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:41 PM ^
I think Davis will feast inside on them as well though.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:31 PM ^
So Kyle Young is out with a concussion? Unless he got that in practice, I'm assuming he got it when he bonked heads with Smith. Way to go with the concussion protocol, OSU docs.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:33 PM ^
I haven't spent much time watching other teams play this year but everytime I do I'm momentarily confused because they don't seem to be playing the same game we are.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:34 PM ^
I thought it would be interesting to watch for a bit...but after 2 minutes of watching that horrid grouping of ugliness I just had to turn it off, save for gouging out my eyes.
Feels good to say I really don't give a shit what they do - F 'em.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:36 PM ^
All I know is that after today, the national coach of the year must be Martelli ?
February 25th, 2021 at 9:39 PM ^
MSU has no half-court offense. All they do is beat the shit out of the best player on the other team (in this case Liddell) and then run to the opposing basket ASAP. It's crazy to watch b/c refs aren't going to call fouls on everything, so why not just turn up the physicality.
So naturally Michigan has to play against that twice. Better bring the football pads.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:40 PM ^
I’m gonna add 2 points, one about OSU and one about us playing MSU. One, Ahrens is an absolute liability for OSU. Any decent defender is gonna lock him up and he’s a liability on defense. Two, we are really efficient with transition defense and that’s something MSU tries to utilize to get quick buckets. Look at Iowa tonight, I don’t really remember any transition baskets for them. If we don’t turn the ball over a ton, MSU will struggle in the half court against our defense.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:40 PM ^
Is the ESPN ticker really reporting on a sixteen year old kids knee surgery?!?!?! (Bronny James)
Jesus....
February 25th, 2021 at 11:28 PM ^
I was thinking the same thing. So espn says he’s the 25th best recruit. Factor in he’s the son of Lebron, what do we think his real ranking is? Still top 100?
February 25th, 2021 at 9:40 PM ^
Izzo Troll is constantly out working the refs. When will that crap be clamped down? It’s a disgusting display of bitch.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:52 PM ^
Him and coach K have made a living doing it.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:43 PM ^
What’s the record for most fouls in a half?
February 25th, 2021 at 9:44 PM ^
I can live with OSU winning. Michigan already beat them on their court and there’s no hope for OSU to catch up in the standings.
What I don’t want to see is MSU rattle off a bunch of big wins and then come into the Michigan series with a ton of confidence but still playing for its tournament life. I want MSU teetering on the verge of collapse and then Michigan giving them that final push into oblivion.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:49 PM ^
That, and MSU is the larger on-court and geographic rival for M in bball, so the worse they do the better for us when it comes to in-state recruiting etc.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:44 PM ^
Somebody break cissokos nose
February 25th, 2021 at 9:46 PM ^
I admit I don't know all the intricacies of basketball rules. Would it be possible for both SUs to lose?
February 25th, 2021 at 9:47 PM ^
MSU’s bigs are just hackers plain and simple.
February 25th, 2021 at 9:48 PM ^
You know their plan against Dickinson will be to push him and slam down on him whenever possible. Hopefully the refs will be aware and shut that shit down early before a player gets injured.
