Upset Watch: MSU & Ohio (Upsets Averted)
At halftime in both games:
Ohio State up 1 at home to Winthrop (YTW).
Sparty up 5 at Bowling Green.
I'm not sure if I should root for the upsets or not.
Ohio is on BTN. State is on ESPNU... FYI
UPDATE: Both teams pulled away in the 2nd halves. However, neither team covered the spread ... and Sparty looked very sloppy.

Either way, I thought people
Either way, I thought people
Either way, I thought people would like to tune in to see how our future opponents look against teams with far less talent than UM. Ohio was favored by 27.5 and they were up 1 at half. I thought it was worth tuning in and thought others would agree. My bad homie.

Always what's best for Michigan

I almost always "root" for our future opponents as I want them to have the strongest possible resume when we blow them out. It is a nice problem that we are so highly ranked now, one hardly has to think about it. We take care of business, business takes care of us. (Or something like that...)

Wow. MSUs offense looks horrible. No outside shooting and so many turnovers. I cant remember the last time they've had such poor talent.
I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?
December 18th, 2012 at 9:30 PM |
poor talent
poor talent
really? they have plenty of talent. they do lack, however, a true point guard and 3 pt shooters (excl harris).
i do think izzo has done a terrible job this year at adapting to those deficiencies. he's got plenty of talent in the paint and doesn't get them signficant opportunities.
December 18th, 2012 at 9:34 PM |
Yeah. I don't think they lack talent, although

They don't seem to have the hustle and/or fire of McGary and Morgan but i will say that they have better post moves. I'm hoping by season's end to see a lot shimmies, cuts, hooks, and fakes out of those guys.

ok that's a bit extreme
that said, my family is from EL, and i warned them that they were overrated early on due to their lack of shooters. it's proven to be so far.
similarly, i expect the illini to come back down to earth once their weak interior play gets exposed by several of the bigger big 10 teams.

As I write this, Purdue is tied with Ball State at 47 with 8:00 to go. Of course them losing to a MAC school isn't really an upset these days...

My point exactly. It's not
My point exactly. It's not
My point exactly. It's not much of an upset alert at halftime if both teams are leading with that much time left even if it is by a single point. I'm not upset I'm glad the big ten wins out of conference just thought you jumped the gun on this one.

Same could have been said at
Same could have been said at
Same could have been said at halftime of the Butler/IU game ... and Butler pulled it out. I just assumed ppl would be interested in a 1 pt game at half that had a spread set at 27. Puts UM's "close" games into perspective. Others have similar or greater problems with inferior competition.
