Michigan Basketball vs. MSU Open Thread
Are there any recruits attending? I'd imagine Michigan would have some in-state kids stopping by. Let's hope the defense picks up and we come out fast for once.

but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else can confirm or deny.
The 2015 Cass Tech guys (Weber, Alabi, Campbell) will be here today as well.
I think we will see more visitors next week when we play Indiana. It seems like the coaches have picked that week to have lots of kids on campus.
247sports confirmed that Jalen Embry and Tim Cason II will be on campus next week.
but okay... GO BLUE!
And might need a second half thread as well.
Pardon my french, but I can't stand the smug-ass, woe-is-us bullshit on the board this morning...so here are my assorted thoughts about 40 minutes prior to tip-off:
PSU was just a bad dream
We're undefeated at home
MSU is going to look dumb when they all start smacking the floor like a horde of the Heartless in Kingdom Hearts.
Blues Brothers Dance
Maybe Hoke will sit next to Beilein again
I still love this team
The maple leaf will fly at some point today
Don't lose your dinosaur
Prestige Worldwide, that's what you gotta do
WE ON
No, I'm not an ostritch
unlike when we played Staee in EL, Jordan Morgan is healthy. Could be a difference-maker.
You probably won't be able to strream it because gogo sucks, but try this

Maybe you saw this, posted about 10 minutes after you posted:
If the powers that be want to set up a liveblog for the game, I can help run it.
Saturday stash turns into Sunday afternoon drinking.
Pride is on the line. B1G championship probably outta reach, but splitting with State will help heal some wounds and restore some confidence.
HINT TO BIGS: Don't react to Nix's first shoulder twitch post move. Or the second, third, or fourth twitch. He only makes an offensive move after 4 shoulder twitches.
My parting shot: Badgers lost to Purdue.
This person really likes cats.
He should fit right in.
Got my Chicks Dig Scars MGoShirt on, got some Great Lakes Burning River (cuz they don't make 'Burning Couch in East Lansing'), blasting Mozart's Requiem in D minor on Sparty's behalf... Yeah I'm ready for game time.
Where's the front page preview? I hope its absence isn't because Brian and the powers that be have thrown in the towel. Do I have to post the John Belushi/Animal House Pearl Harbor clip?
I live in Atlanta and have April 5-8 off!!
Coincidence? I think not!!
Checked it earlier today, and he was up by 13,000ish.
Mike Kitts, Lamont Simpson, and TV Teddy Valentine on the whistles today. Buckle up
"What will you be getting drunk on if Michigan loses to Sparty?"
Yes. Follow up question: Will I be getting drunk if Michigan beats Sparty?
Also yes.
The MSU broadcasters suck, but you can download the Spartan Sports Network app and listen from there

Team Rankings posted its projected box scores and, for the board's information, they have estimated the following shooting percentages despite predicting a Michigan win:
Shooting | Michigan St. | Michigan |
Field Goal % | 49.00% | 45.00% |
2 Point Shooting % | 54.30% | 50.00% |
3 Point Shooting % | 36.40% | 35.80% |
Free Throw % | 70.00% | 69.00% |
What they do is run simulated games and seasons and take an average of the results. Our home average effective FG% is 51.04%, better than MSU's away effective FG% by about 2%. Hopefully, it's closer to something like this.
GoodmanCBS Have no idea why, but ref Teddy Valentine was literally crying down on court before game here in Ann Arbor. Strange sight. 3/3/13 3:53 PM |
That is very, very odd..?! Interesting.
