Man the tickets for tomorrow are so expensive, but it seems like there are a lot available. You guys think they'll start to come down closer to tip? 

Also, any good chants at Izzo or Bridges to shout?

Michigan crushing Nebraska might have been UM's biggest bball win this season.  Michigan is now a lock for #5 seed in the NCAA tourney, and considering the #5 typically plays the #4 seed in the 2nd round, A #5 seed in a 64-team tournament is the same as a #4 seed.  Michigan's one of the hottest teams in the country. 
 
If UM defeats Sparty and Purdue, I think UM gets a #3 seed in the NCAA. In fact, I think that's the only way UM moves up. Defeating Sparty and then losing to Purdue wont help at all.
 
What do you think the spread will be for UM/Sparty tomorrow? I honestly havent seen the spread yet. I am guessing Sparty -3 or Sparty -4.

If there is one benefit to games at MSG, it's that Michigan's alumni base is so strong in the NYC area that it will feel more like a home game than your usual remote arena. Still, really didn't want this matchup. Izzo is an asshole, but he's one capable of motivating people when he needs to.

Since the basketball players on the Sparty basketball team are only capable of talking about and/or considering basketball, might as well give them hard basketball questions and bad basketball feelings for the next two weeks.

One thing for sure is that MSU will be extra thuggish tomorrow. If one likes precision and clean basketball game then it will not be a game to watch. Surely, the refs will have a “let them play” mentality bc MSU is involved so we must take it to them again. Prove for good that we can play “soft” and “hard” which makes us more dangerous than MSU bc they only know one way to play. If refs call a tight game tomorrow then MSU doesn’t have a chance.

They will obviously be looking for revenge.  If we bring the same intensity on defense as we did on the farm, we have a great shot.  Would be HUGE to sweep little brother.  Can't wait.  Glad we beat down the corn shuckers like we were supposed to.  This team has been fun to watch all year.

GO BLUE!!

A win, but sinister me wants a soul destroying, heart crushing defeat, something like a last second half court shot by D Rob to give us a one point win at the buzzer!! Something that gets replayed for every Big Ten Tourney! Then break out the bourbon!!

Go Blue, but a conference tournament championship is—with exception like last year’s run that had meaning and narrative—a booby prize. Michigan is now playing with house money.

Those demented, backwards, Izzo/Dantonio/Admin defending people are not our ilk. Nothing in common, just neighbors. They are Little People rather than Little Brother.

If at MSG, please please continue to use the phrases "Outside The Lines. Make Signs Supporting ESPN. Sparty Hates That..... Watching Red Dawn, "Wolverines!"
