Aren't the Badgers still missing a key player??

Yes...Jon Leuer. Was averaging 15.4 ppg before breaking his wrist. Him being out is one reason I think State wins.

I wasn't aware of that...I still think State loses but maybe by not as much.

I hope you're right.

Badgers are shooting the lights out early...5 of 8 3pts with 11 minutes left 1st half

Lucas got Bowen'd on a jumpshot and sprained his ankle pretty good...game over. Sprain looked bad

Both Wolverines and Spartans take it on the chin tonight....you were right about MSU maybe getting beaten tonight. The scores were almost identical

Northwestern 67- Michigan 52
Wisconsin 67- Michigan St 47

They are saying U of M needs to go 5-3 to make the NIT. If they win the Big Ten they go to the big dance.

MSU will have a tough time against Illinois. I'm pretty sure Lucas won't play (and shouldn't).

The Wolverines are playing for pride. There have only two players..as the rest of the guys are two small and if their outside (three jumpshot) does not fall, the team cannot score. If they had at least one more inside scorer or anybody 6"10 that could post and shoot, they could be 16-6 now instead of 11-11. The take 30 three balls a game and make an average of 7. if they would drive more or take higher percentage shots they wouldn't be so predictable and easy to defend. Zak Novak has killed then this year with his poor shooting, despite his toughness.

There is no way they make it to any tournament this year. Joe Dumars son is supposed to be the starting guard next season....hopefully he can run the pt because that is the other thing they lack.

They keep bringing back the old Wolverine players for haftime ceremonies, but none of their successes are rubbing off on the current players. Antoine Joubert, Gary Grant and even Bill Frieder showed up at todays game. Last week it as Jalen Rose and Jimmy Jackson.

Big game tonight...State needs a Big Ten win bad after that Wisconsin thromping.

Nice win for Michigan over Iowa today. Next up is #5 Ohio State. That could end the regular season.

Will Michigan make the NIT? What are the criteria to get in that tourney?
