Let’s not be like Sparty. We can admit the better team won.

I was afraid that what happened today would happen. Not that we would lose, but that Wards absence would work to MSUs benefit, and I think it did.

Without Ward in there, MSU didn’t have tons of useless post possessions and instead I think wore Teske down by making him run way more than he’s accustomed to.

Going forward, we need some more bench minutes to spell Teske.

Michigan beat themselves at home. I don't think sparty is the better team. Once the team wakes up and shoots better than we can hang with any team in the country. We'll see who goes home quicker from the ncaa tourney. I bet it is sparty!

When MSU got down, they didn't rush shots or panic.  They made the extra pass and found guys in in space.

Michigan doesn't have a way to get offense going when the 3 goes cold.  They force bad shots, and play 1 on 5, and when they get down it just gets worse.

MSU was the better team yesterday and the score reflected that. As we've seen time and again with this team they have trouble scoring and against good teams that can be a detriment. For them to have a deep run they are going to need to find the ability to score or they will need to have favorable matchups. The team has the talent to go deep, but with the craziness of the tourney if they face a team with a hot scorer we could be in trouble.
