Michigan - MSU Basketball Game Thread
February 8th, 2020 at 2:12 PM ^
Make FT’s, 1 of 2 isn’t good.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:12 PM ^
Sparty to drop out of top 20??
February 8th, 2020 at 2:15 PM ^
Hate to see it. lol
February 8th, 2020 at 2:13 PM ^
That was stupid. Paid off i guess.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:13 PM ^
How is it that MSU is fouling so fast?! Johns barely had the ball in his hands and they blew the whistle.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:14 PM ^
It’s the full izzo. They practice it.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:22 PM ^
And Spartan Bob running the clock
February 8th, 2020 at 2:13 PM ^
Blatant shuffling of the feet? No problem...
February 8th, 2020 at 2:13 PM ^
Longest two minutes

Not the worst thing forcing them to dribble out clock and allowing a bucket that keeps it a 3-possession game. But, damn! One stop away from this being over.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:14 PM ^
It’s like the refs can’t help themselves but to help izzo. We’ve finally got some calls today, but the “foul” on Cassius to kill the layup was, at this point, chuckelable
February 8th, 2020 at 2:15 PM ^
There should be a 5 second run off for every foul in the last min or two of a game
February 8th, 2020 at 2:15 PM ^
FTs now 24-21. Those looking at the boxscore tomorrow will think it was an evenly called game.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:15 PM ^
At some point msu players have to start fouling out, right?
February 8th, 2020 at 2:16 PM ^
Sparty is magically fouling so quickly no time is coming off the clock.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:23 PM ^
Spartan Bob on the clock
February 8th, 2020 at 2:16 PM ^
Those are my boys right there.
And fuck sparty! They couldn’t do shit even with the refs in their back pocket.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:16 PM ^
GET OFF MY COURT!!!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:16 PM ^
Man that’s huge. That was a must win game. Nice to have livers back
February 8th, 2020 at 2:16 PM ^
I love how Izzo come up to JH's waist when shaking hands.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:46 PM ^
I come up to JH’s waist too.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
nearly muppet-worthy. nice to see us put it together against a good team who we don't like.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Huge now have to beat Northwestern because that would take away all momentum.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Screwed out of an impressive 4-game win streak.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
I love how Izzo come up to JH's waist when shaking hands.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Good guys win a BIG ONE !! Made some free throws down the stretch. Go Blue !
February 8th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
FUCK YEA!!!!!!! BEST GAME I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE!!!!!!!! EVEN BETTER THAN THE GONZAGA GAME!!!!!!!!! Completely different team from the last couple of months. Livers makes a huge difference, of course, but they played with more heart than I've seen in a while. Great job, Howard! Great free-throw shooting everyone! Fuck the refs! Go Blue!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:18 PM ^
AND FUCK STATE!!!!!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
Big basketball recruiting weekend also, a nice win like this, a nice team effort, can only help
February 8th, 2020 at 2:33 PM ^
YES!! The HEART was the difference! They didn't play great but they played HARD. And that was good enough to win. That was the effort they'd been missing the last few weeks. There was still a lot of sloppy play but if you bring the effort in other areas - defense, rebounding, loose balls - you can make up for turnovers and poor shooting (and sometimes dogshit officiating). But today they hit some shots too.
DOn't let up now!! Keep it going!!!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
I am so glad Coach Howard finally told Livers not to get hurt and the rest of the team to finally hit some shots.. I was getting worried he may not be the right choice.
/s
February 8th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Good for Juwan.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
What a big win. Livers just changes this team.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:20 PM ^
You mean to tell me having the best player on your team play actually makes a difference in the outcome of a game? I’m shocked!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
Yaup, you got it buddy
February 8th, 2020 at 2:18 PM ^
Livers makes this team just so much better on both ends of the floor
February 8th, 2020 at 2:18 PM ^
If we stay healthy, this 8 man rotation is pretty good
February 8th, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
Get the fuck off our court!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
Nice line for Loyer: 0-1 FG, 1 RB, 4 PF
February 8th, 2020 at 2:20 PM ^
Msu future pg lmao!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:53 PM ^
All I had to do was look up the game when loyer played dejuilius in highschool to figure out who would be the better player. Loyer is a d3 player
February 8th, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
YES! TOTALLY BELIEVED WE HAD A CHANCE TO WIN THE WHOLE TIME!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
HAIL!!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
Great Win!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:20 PM ^
LIVERS !
Sparty tears taste so sweet !!
Go Blue !!!
February 8th, 2020 at 2:20 PM ^
That was a FUCK YOU win.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:20 PM ^
This was also a huge recruiting game with a lot of visitors. Big, big win. Another data point for Howard's teams showing up big time when it matters most.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:25 PM ^
Well this team certainly proved me wrong. I thought Winston was going to mop the floor with Michigan today, and instead Michigan got a huge must-win in their back pocket.
Should’ve beaten OSU too, but if Michigan could only get one, this is the one it needed to get.
February 8th, 2020 at 2:25 PM ^
Solid W.
Wish they got Livers about 13-15 shots vs. only 10. By far the best shooter on this team. Brooks not bad at times. Hope Davis is ok, seemed to be holding that arm low on bench. They need him. Not always pretty, but a tournament team with Livers on this squad. Still holding out hope they can really turn this up with him back, he played 20 min of IL, basically hasn’t played all Big Ten season. Lets see him play 5-6 game span and see our record.
