OT: James Madison upsets #4 MSU in hoops
Sparty No!
Great OT win by JMU. They were hot from 3 and MSU was ice cold.

JMU only other top 25 win 1992
November 7th, 2023 at 6:59 AM ^
Shhhhh..."a moment of silence" please. That's why you schedule cupcakes to start the....wow!
November 6th, 2023 at 11:16 PM ^
Tough day for Tom
November 6th, 2023 at 11:17 PM ^
#4 team in the country?
November 6th, 2023 at 11:18 PM ^
Not 4 long.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:19 PM ^
The 4th president is the real #4 tonight.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:24 PM ^
A HISTORY joke! Impressive.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:28 PM ^
The Michigan difference.
November 7th, 2023 at 4:39 AM ^
+1 underrated.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:38 PM ^
Best part about this loss is you know every MSU fan was thinking “at least we have basketball.” One game in, now what?
November 7th, 2023 at 12:17 AM ^

More like number 2, if you follow the way I've drifted.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:18 PM ^
LOL. MSU will be just fine come March, but I'll take this as another sign this will be a great week for us.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
Say’s who? They looked like shit. I don’t really get the tiop 5 ranking.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:35 PM ^
That offense is a real concern. There is basically zero game plan. It was Walker with 4 guys standing around the entire game.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:50 PM ^
True but I wouldn’t expect them to go 1/20 from 3 every night, a few of those going in could have opened things up for players not named Walker. Not sure they are top 5 but they will be fine like always. Purdue probably wins the league and bows out early in the dance as always. Excited to see Michigans basically all new cast of misfit toys, hopefully they are fun to watch while expectations are a little low
November 7th, 2023 at 6:47 AM ^
Walker is the team right now, for good or bad. His 2 point shooting kept Sparty in the game, but posted a goose egg from beyond the line and 11 for 17 at the charity stripe to ensure the defeat.
November 7th, 2023 at 1:39 PM ^
But when the little ewok oracle grabs them by the scruff of the neck and screams they will instantly get better. Old school coaching don't ya know.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:04 AM ^
I generally agree. Their floor is really low with all that experience back. Not sure their ceiling is really top 5 though, unless Izzo is doing Izzo things and holding back their freshmen.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:20 PM ^
Hahaha. Fuck you shitheads!
November 6th, 2023 at 11:20 PM ^
GODDAMIT! I was going to go to bed and now I need to stay up the read the RCMB all night.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:20 PM ^
Take that L
November 6th, 2023 at 11:38 PM ^
They waited all year for this day. Ouchie
November 7th, 2023 at 1:00 AM ^
We need an update. What went on last night, @BursleyHall82?
November 6th, 2023 at 11:20 PM ^
Go Tuck go!
November 6th, 2023 at 11:20 PM ^
They'll fall to 6 in the rankings because... Basketball.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:22 PM ^
LOL. Awesome.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
This is really turning into a great day, ngl.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
Yes indeed Sparty, Karma is a bitch. All that sniveling by their AD for punishment w/o due process won't ever make them any better.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
It was the Dukes, it was the Dukes!
November 7th, 2023 at 5:17 AM ^
Looking good, Billy Ray!
November 6th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
Yes. This week is starting out so much better than last week.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
Ball don’t lie.
May have to ask Urbz if he can coach basketball too.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:22 PM ^
Eat it, Sparty. Eat. It.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:22 PM ^
JM was stealing signs is the reason Staee lost
Love the Vast Network of James Madison University
November 6th, 2023 at 11:22 PM ^
I suspect Connor Stalions and the Michigan Video Espionage Team provided footage to JMU.
That, or it's the tunnel's fault.
November 7th, 2023 at 10:10 AM ^
. . . and it was unsafe for the Sparty basketball team to score.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:23 PM ^
It's been funny following some MSU fans have to rationalize this day away as they both watched UM push back against a lot of bullshit and see their basketball team, the one they say they care way more about than football, gack up a game as a top-5 team.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:24 PM ^
it’s been glorious. "can’t wait til basketball"-MSU fanbase. only to fall flat on their faces against the perennial powerhouse that is James Madison
November 6th, 2023 at 11:23 PM ^
JMU had their signals.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:23 PM ^
23 of 37 from the charity stripe. good for 62%. that’s how you lose an OT game
November 7th, 2023 at 2:06 AM ^
1/20 from 3 doesn’t help much either.
November 6th, 2023 at 11:23 PM ^
First November home loss EVER for Izzo.
November 7th, 2023 at 1:58 AM ^
What a shame. Suck it a-holes !
November 6th, 2023 at 11:24 PM ^
The Dukes were 28% from 3. Not necessarily torching the nets - they just took a lot of them (8/29). But sparty was 1/20. LOL
Oh, and little JMU also won the rebound battle to boot.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:34 AM ^
Setting aside the karma hilarity, the rebound stat is the real headline to me. Anyone can go ice cold from 3. That happens. But rebounds are something you can win with effort when the shots aren't falling.
