If Michigan wins tomorrow, they will be the only Big Ten team to have beaten every other Bug Ten team this year. Go Blue, be the true Big Ten champs!

According to wikipedia: "In chemistry, a colloid is a mixture in which one substance of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance." I'm thinking the self-proclaimed biggest sparty meant to type "colossal".

Izzo and MSU fell for the bait again. They became a pseudo-jump shooting team against us which works in our favor with the improved defense. 

How the hell do you not just constantly drive with players like Jackson, Bridges and Ward? 

They have the size advantage and yet UM outrebounded them in the 2nd half and Jackson barely played. Like what?

I was screaming the same thing at my TV but Izzo didn't get the message. He also didn't hear me screaming to not get sucked in off the arc. My only guess is he thought the upperclassmen could settle the game down. The problem is the upperclassmen are less talented than the underclassmen. I don't mind McQuaid shooting the 3, or Winston if the shot clock is winding down. I texted my dad Izzo was an idiot for not going inside and taking advantage of the rebounding advantage or getting people in foul trouble. I'd rather lose playing MSU basketball than playing the opponent's game.

Colloidal?  Um...Is that better or worse than the regular kind?  Is it a breeding thing?  Like, some kind of special MSU cattle that leave colloidal droppings?  Inquiring minds want to know.

planet had one today, and so did Michigan. The best 3 point shooter in Division I was 0 for 4 and 3 for 10 from the floor. Simpson out scored him 15 to 11. We out rebounded them 36/33.

on the officials and expressing his emotions rather than coaching. It’s clear that his players do not develop anywhere close to the rate of Beilein’s players. Little Tom had 4 5 stars and they were so unthreatening on the offensive end. Big John took a gangly Wagner and turned him into a match-up winner.

In their game thread.because the negative folks in our game thread drive me crazy.

Loved the constant stream of schadenfreude, but was bothered by one poster - handle of Msuspartan4eva (or similar) who touted that M has recruited specifically to beat MSU (ha ha) AND that those long guards cause MSU fits in our ZONE. I would expect Spartan fans to be more educated on hoops - would guess we have played zone far less than 5% of defensive possessions this year.

Even if they didn't know that Michigan hasn't played a lot of zone in years, you'd think they'd recognize man-to-man vs. zone just by watching the game.

Protip, MSU guy who's not reading this anyway: When every person seems to be guarding another person, that's man-to-man.  When the defense spreads out on the floor and each person seems to be guarding an area of it, no matter where the opposing players run, that's zone.  #TheMoreYouKnow

Did anybody else here how he downplayed the tournament beforehand and said the conference winner is much more important. Easy to say when you play the weakest schedule... great win today. that was huge

According to Spartys, didn’t matter today, even though it was the 3rd loss in a row to Michigan, but they have bigger prizes like the NC in mind! Let Michigan have the meaning BIG Tourney Title! Delusional!!

UM by 29, 10 and 11 with one game in Crisler, one in Breslin and one in MSG. Beilein will actually have more raw talent next year in the rivalry for probably the first time. The arrow is pointing up for Beilein vs Izzo.

You know things have gotten bad when RCMBers are starting to make sense... JB has outcoached Izzo the last few times they've played. The only thing Izzo has over JB is recruiting ($$$) and looking at the incoming classes, that's going away too.

I can't remember a time, even when they made their tourney run, when I've been more content with the state of Michigan basketball.
