Michigan vs. MSU open thread
Approaching just under one hour to tip off in Ann Arbor
January 17th, 2012 at 7:46 PM ^
This seemed like the best we've played as a team this year (maybe Wisky but our offense looks a lot better tonight) and THJ is having possibly his worst game. If he could get it going and the rest of the team played like this, we'd be a very good team.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:53 PM ^
If THJ even played mediocre basketball as of late, we'd have beaten Iowa and Indiana and we'd be up 12-14 against Sparty.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:47 PM ^
love the lack of foul calls. Let the guys play.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:47 PM ^
We have - knock on wood - done a great job on Draymond Green every time we've faced him. Izzo is a great motivator, and gets his team to crash the boards like crazy, but I feel Beilein is the better pure X-and-O coach.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:47 PM ^
John B is so smooth. He'll get this team coming out in good shape.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:49 PM ^
MSU final four what?
January 17th, 2012 at 7:52 PM ^
At first I was annoyed he kept referring to him this way, but I'm starting to enjoy Dan Dakich calling Stu Douglass, Stuart Douglas!
Pretty damn good half of basketball though. I missed the middle stretch but what I saw I liked. Rebounding though, especially giving up the offensive boards for points. Finally, Trey Burke is a baller and is in beast mode. You can tell he is playing his arse off for this big rivalry game. He is picking up where Darius left off, not playing like a true freshman. (I'm sure the senior leaders and upperclassmen on this team have shown him the way in areas like this, but one can tell, He Gets It).
January 17th, 2012 at 7:58 PM ^
I just hope he tells them to get the F off his court like Morris.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:56 PM ^
January 17th, 2012 at 8:02 PM ^
There ya go Timmy!
January 17th, 2012 at 8:04 PM ^
....an offensive foul. Novak's grit is rubbing off on everyone.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:06 PM ^
F Carr.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:10 PM ^
Has Carr always been involved with the whole athletic program? I mean has he always went to bball games or is he just jumping on the wagon?
January 17th, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
I am not a Carr fan, but I have to admit; he was at several M Softball games in the early spring. It was cold as hell and he was there.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:10 PM ^
Better man than you.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:11 PM ^
Nice.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:12 PM ^
A man of few words and even fewer coherent thoughts.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:14 PM ^
You're a disgrace to call yourself a fan
January 17th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
We keep settling for long shots. No me gusta.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:10 PM ^
Yup, they're starting to take threes with plenty on the shot clock, as you said earlier.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:10 PM ^
I realize we're gonna shoot a lot of 3's, but do we really need to grab a rebound, run to the 3 pt line and Launch 1 with a hand in ur face....can we at least try to run a play????
January 17th, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
you are obviously not open when you get a 3 pt shot blocked. at least two tonite.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:11 PM ^
of Smotrycz in transition. Why does he think he can run the fast break? I like him as part of the offense but not in the break.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:12 PM ^
Denard still has his dreads
January 17th, 2012 at 8:12 PM ^
And Dilithium is in the building!!
January 17th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
Denard and Roy look to be enjoying this game!
January 17th, 2012 at 8:14 PM ^
Just saw the kid next to Denard give him his yellow tshirt so he would fit in with the crowd...
January 17th, 2012 at 8:15 PM ^
January 17th, 2012 at 8:15 PM ^
obleterate this traitor scum once and for all
January 17th, 2012 at 8:17 PM ^
Freshman vs. Rent -a- guard.......advantage= freshman!
January 17th, 2012 at 8:21 PM ^
On those pick and rolls, Morgan gets open a lot, but never gets the pass on time (or at all)
January 17th, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
Thats two air ball threes Ive seen from M since I started watching. Make me want to put my head through my desk.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
No more airballs!
January 17th, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
I can't believe how many points we've squandered on the fastbreak. It's OK to throw a bounce pass, guys.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
Hardaway!? Anybody home?
January 17th, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
I'm hoping he comes back these last ten minutes.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
They have to survive the patented Spartan run....
January 17th, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
during that commercial kills me
January 17th, 2012 at 8:25 PM ^
is awesome.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:26 PM ^
We just need enough offense to put it away...[crosses fingers]
January 17th, 2012 at 8:27 PM ^
his game is diminishing into nothingness...
January 17th, 2012 at 8:27 PM ^
Smotz needs to park it on the bench!
January 17th, 2012 at 8:27 PM ^
best game yet for the frosh.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:28 PM ^
What is the deal with Evan. He is struggling.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
Gonna need him to come out of this slump sooner than later.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
Man our shooting sucks
January 17th, 2012 at 8:32 PM ^
Sounds like a lot of Spartan fans in the stadium tonight.
January 17th, 2012 at 8:32 PM ^
January 17th, 2012 at 8:32 PM ^
MSU leads now 50-49 after a 14-2 run
