Michigan 72, MSU 67 at Crisler Arena. Sorry Tater. Big win for the Wolverines to beat the No. 15 team in the country. It will help UM's NCAA chances. I still think UM comes up short for the tourney though. Nice win tonight. I figured the Spartans would sweep 'em this season.

Actually, MSU was AP #11.

State didn't score a FG in over 6 minutes of the 2nd half. State's scoring droughts this year remind me of the Pistons last year.

UM played a good game

UofM is out of the penalty. Let's see if they can get a top ten team in the years to come.

Shoot, why did I think #15? No matter. UM needs to beat some quality teams. If they can finish two games above .500 in the conference, they might dance this season, and shed a little of their pathetic past. I like Amaker OK and wish him success.

Izzo messed up late in the game. He called a TO just before Ager hit a game-tying 3 with 7 seconds left.

The boner was reminiscent of the OSU football game when the MSU assistant coach was trying to get the FG unit on the field before the half instead of grounding the ball. Don't know if you remember, but in the rush the kick got blocked and run back for a TD...and that turned out to be the end of the Sparties football season, even though the season was only half over.

it wasn't a bad timeout at the time...think about it. davis just took a completely ill-advised 3-pointer, then got the ball back at the 3-point line. if you watch, izzo immediately called timeout, with 10 seconds left, before ager was even open (at around 7 seconds). he didn't want davis jacking up another shot and i dont blame him.

Yikes. I just now read your post (Just past 2:00 AM, Thursday, your time). I didn't even know they played. Well, that's the Sparties for you. Congrats to the Blue. They must have played well. We will get you next time!!

34 free throw attempts for Michigan, 10 for Michigan State. Charity begins at home.

I haven't looked at the box yet. I didn't realize the disparity was that huge as I was flipping back & forth with the Pistons game while I was on the chat.

charity begins at home haha.

it was tough to flip back and forth because the games kept having the same amount of time left in the game, down by the same score, and taking timeouts at the same time.
