I realize this is complete heresy but should we root for Sparty tomorrow?

If M loses, then of course I hope sparty also loses.
If M wins, I hope sparty wins as I would love nothing more than to beat them in the round of 8 and cut the nets down in front of them.

I want the Buckeyes to die a thousand deaths, I just want Sparty to die.
March 18th, 2017 at 12:31 PM ^
are irresistable

Perhaps you don't know enough Buckeyes.

I'd count that as a blessing
Abosolutely agree. Obviously I've been conditioned to hate Ohio State, and basically everything Ohio in general. However, Michigan State fans live among us. And as much as I hate ohio state fans... Michigan State fans just have this desperate, undeserved sense of pride. Ohio State fans are just bad news, violent people. MSU fans are insanely hypocritical and have no grasp of where their program really is currently at in football and basketball.
With the way this team is playing right now, I genuinely believe we can beat anyone in the country. It doesn't matter who else wins tomorrow, as long as we beat Louisville. MSU? We could beat them. Kansas? We could beat them. The Golden State Warriors? Curry's been kind of flat lately, and Durant's injured. Bring 'em on.
Didnt know UCLA's Dad was a member here?
Absolutely fucking not
Abso'fucking'lutely not
ignore Sparty tomorrow.
Exactly. Sparty is a non-entity. It deserves nothing but a turn of the head. In fact, this thread should be swept under the rug and forgotten.

I don't plan on rooting for Sparty, but I find Kansas (with their teflon coach, very possible recent history of cheating, "tradition," etc.) one of the most annoying teams in college basketball.
Think of all the times they got a #1 seed (playing in a historically shitty conference) then got to play many of their tourney games in Kansas City. They had a another all-time teflon coach (Roy Williams), too.
Sure, why not.
/sarcasm.
of course we root for Sparty. It would be in our best interest (something MSU fans don't seem to grasp) and how sweet would it be for UM to be the team that ends Izzo's run to another Final Four!

Never root for Sparty. Never root for Ohio State. Fuck the best interests of the B1G

You'd really rather play Kansas in Kansas City over Michigan State? Against Kansas, we'd be overwhelming underdogs. Against Sparty we'd be comfortable favorites.
Besides, who roots against their little brother.

Exactly. Plus MSU still has a ton of young talent on that team. Young teams tend to play poorly during stretches of the regular season and turn it up a bit in tournament games. I think it will be a close game between them and Kansas. Add in the grudge as you say and it could be an Izzo slurpfest. As you say, terrible downside with possible euphoria (and house money I would add) with a Kansas matchup.

if them winning means a clearer path for us, I can tolerate listening to them crow about ...
Fuck it -- hope they get bombed.
I will "root" for Sparty: to lose in a way that doesn't embarrass the conference.

Not really. Maryland wasn't very good, and MTSU is legit
