I will always remember Spike like this as he just lit up Louisville and kept us in the game. Feel bad that he was never able to build off of this, but hopefully he leaves here with his degree and wish him all the best in life!

I actually thought his performance last year built on it quite nicely. He really carried the team in many ways. He never became the three launching death merchant that he hinted at, but his ability to drive into the lane and create something from nothing proved to be invaulable.

Plus the 2014 year, Spike played significant minutes and was one of the least turnover prone point guards in the country, while still dishing out loads of assists I believe

Forever more, everytime I hear "One Shining Moment" . . . I will think of Spike.

His Legacy and especially this game will be told to my children and my children's children. That hoop must have looked 5 feet wide that night.
Thank You spike!

doubt we'll see anyone light it up like he did against L'ville, and he gave us a whole lot of other great moments. Best of luck, Spike.

The kid was never afraid to take a shot.
December 11th, 2015 at 9:27 AM ^
I loved his drive and grit along with the pure joy he has for the game. You don't always see players with both.
December 11th, 2015 at 9:00 AM ^
I'll never forget how pumped up I was during that first half performance in the champ game.

Got no recognition from the conference last year. What a disgrace.

You will forever be a MGOBLOG fan favorite. We salute your brilliant career today. THANK YOU for everything you did for Michigan basketball the last four years, captain.

This is the spark the team needs. There is no doubt every man in the lockerroom respects the heck of out Spike.
Need to re-dedicate, refocus, and play the rest of the season in his honor.
Spike is a winner and this TEAM will be winners.

You will be missed.

Grateful that I picked up my daughter in Lexington KY and drove to the title game in Atlanta to personally witness that unvelievable first half.
One of my all-time great UM memories.
Godspeed.

but who's going to take (and inevitably drain) the ocassional shot from damn near half court when we need a rally now???

Any way he can get an extra year via appeal to the NCAA? Hell, it's December 11 and he's played 69 minutes total this season.

Will someone please find / make a gif of Spike doing one of his infamous drives to the hoop where he just keeps going on the other end instead of taking the shot. That always killed me. He just frustrated so many defenders with his antics.
Or maybe just give me some alley-oops. I could live with that.

For all the highlights Spike has and all of his endearing traits, this is the one play that is burned into my memory. A full speed, left handed, cross court bounce pass that is perfectly placed between defenders. That's some serious skill. Michigan basketball isn't as much fun without him.

This pass. Forever.
