Michigan vs. MSU bball open thread
If you're in the Breslin, be sure to chant loud enough so we can hear you on the t.v.!

If I have learned one thing about this team, they are resilient. Just chill and it will all get better, yo
February 12th, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
Right, they'll make it a little closer and still lose. Being resilient hasn't actually lead to a win yet. Just false hope.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
At least we are a team that can come back. Would you rather we lose by 20 to OSU and Indiana?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:07 PM ^
Exactly. That just makes it even fucking worse that they allow this bullshit to happen in the first half.
February 12th, 2013 at 9:58 PM ^
We let a guy like Matt Costello get 4 points.

Then this game is the scene where Rocky gets his ass kicked in the first fight by Clubber Lang. What I want to know is when they'll find the eye of the tiger and get a good training montage going, complete with sprints on the beach and awkward man-hugs.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
YOU CAN'T WIN!!!!
February 12th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
Either that or GR3 - he doesn't seem to be doing anything productive on the court anyway, so why not start nagging Rocky with a whiny pep talk?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
If this game doesn't get any better, I'm going to watch Rocky III. That's a great movie.

and his two-hand-jump-shot-layup one more time, my remote is going to meet the back of my television.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
Again pretty simple - average MSU play is a drive to the basket, and an offensive rebound put back. Average UM play is a 20 foot jumper.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^

...a Snicker's.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
but Coach B should take notes from Izzo on how to play D and make players play tougher and be tougher. We're too fucking soft right now.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
I found a lucky penny. Surely that'll turn things around.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
God, does that make this game hurt now.
I had a bad feeling about this game all year...because nothing makes Sparty come to play like a highly ranked Michigan team who is getting all the media love.
If the B1G refs hadn't screwed us against Wisco and hail mary threes weren't growing on trees in Madison, then I could deal with a shitty night in EL. Now, are B1G title hopes and number one seed hopes are slim to none, barring a miracle tonight.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
Beilein needs to get some of the football players to come in for practice and beat the hell out of the team for a few practices. Stick Lewan under the basket and tell him to hammer anyone who comes close. Yet make the team still try to run their offense.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:09 PM ^
Let's put our All-American O-lineman AND our highly ranked BB team at risk.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^

February 12th, 2013 at 10:06 PM ^
And make it to the B1G title game, we should still have a great shot at a #1 seed. We just have little margin for error now.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:08 PM ^

Have not been examples of an NCAA Championship contender. We've been getting out-muscled and out-played. How many times do teams who don't shoot that well have to shoot the lights out against us? Maybe we're tired, maybe we peaked a couple weeks ago.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:09 PM ^
Beard just tweeted that Hardaway didn't take part in second half warm ups....please, just, no.
EDIT: I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID, heres to that half not repeating itself.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:09 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:09 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:10 PM ^
have a combined 1 rebound yet we are getting killed on the boards. wtf?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:10 PM ^
What are the rules on who gets the ball after the half? Sparty got the tip and the ball to start the second half.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
Posession Arrow
February 12th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
FUCKING
REBOUND
February 12th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
Seriously, what the fuck guys?
February 12th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
no fucking box out
February 12th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
Robinson looks relieved every time he can give up the ball.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
Burke is so good. Losing him is going to be brutal
Edit: Fuck that call
February 12th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
Perfect example of lazy defense/rebounding there. We let Payne get an easy path the rebound and then he finds Harris for the 3. COVER GARY HARRIS!
February 12th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^

It's so frustrating when they do something great and follow it up with a mistake.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
even he is letting it get to him. head out of ass please.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
Fuck this game. We are overrated.
