Sparty at Crisler Game Thread
February 17th, 2024 at 8:07 PM ^
Apparently T-Will is out with an illness.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:11 PM ^
It's like that time I called in sick for an exam in HS.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:16 PM ^
your best grade of the semester, right?
February 17th, 2024 at 11:49 PM ^
T Will out with an illness might be addition by subtraction. I am befuddled all these years how this guy is a starter in the Big 10. I'm not sure what he brings to the table. Nice MAC player.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:10 PM ^
Yes, it is.
Let's pull this one in. Like OSU, Wisky
February 17th, 2024 at 8:12 PM ^
Yikes Dug. Well, I guess he's a bit rusty with the not playing half the games and all.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:12 PM ^
Llewellyn starting hot.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:15 PM ^
Is this our Super Bowl?
February 17th, 2024 at 8:18 PM ^
we're actually up on sparty? someone pull the power plug at crisler and end the game!
February 17th, 2024 at 8:20 PM ^
It would be just like this Michigan team to win tonight
February 17th, 2024 at 9:12 PM ^
And what, screw up our draft position?
February 17th, 2024 at 8:24 PM ^
Some ice cold shooting in this game right now.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:25 PM ^
Starters haven't even sat yet and the game is not stopping until this Dug air ball. When we come back this will be the first time we go to the bench. At least Dug should still be fresh later.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:25 PM ^
There's no offensive strategy with this team, it's all AAU street ball. No back-cuts, no off-ball screens, just nothing.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:26 PM ^
Terrible shot selection the last few minutes
February 17th, 2024 at 8:28 PM ^
Am I wrong to just be happy leading, err tied this point?
February 17th, 2024 at 8:29 PM ^
These teams suck. It’s like watching CMU and WMU football the last few years. Rivalry that really means little regarding league outcome. Too bad Michigan didn’t take advantage of Izzo’s decline.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:33 PM ^
How the F is that a flagrant?
February 17th, 2024 at 8:35 PM ^
It wasn't a good challenge. I agree with the call. Could really hurt someone pulling them down from behind.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:41 PM ^
I would argue he was grabbing toward the ball. I think it was a hard foul at most. But clearly the refs disagreed
February 17th, 2024 at 8:36 PM ^
Dangerous foul because he was up in the air. I don't know if there are hard and fast rules around it but it's pretty clear that it was intentional contact to stop Carr in flight.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:35 PM ^
If there was a metric for measuring basketball IQ, our squad would be a quad 4....at best.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:35 PM ^
Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
February 17th, 2024 at 8:36 PM ^
Jackson is shaving points
February 17th, 2024 at 8:46 PM ^
I think he’s just not any good.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:40 PM ^
The fact that I am actually jealous of an MSU team that looks destined for an early exit in the tourney tells me all I need to know about how sad this UM team is.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:44 PM ^
They were top 5 at the start of the season. They have not lived up to the hype they were given at all.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:40 PM ^
Dugs effort on defense is terrible.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:44 PM ^
Then he really fits in on this team.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:40 PM ^
Steph vs Sabrina, who ya got?
I got Sabrina
February 17th, 2024 at 8:40 PM ^
This team just doesn't know how to value the ball, that is coaching...or lack thereof.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:43 PM ^
Couldn’t agree more! Spot on
February 17th, 2024 at 8:41 PM ^
God I miss John Beilein teams with smart movement and low turnovers. We are already on pace for surpassing our league leading average for turnovers. So sloppy
February 17th, 2024 at 8:43 PM ^
Hockey scores to tie it at 2-2!!
February 17th, 2024 at 8:43 PM ^
On pace for 18 turnovers, and it's not like Sparty is offering much pressure. Most are just careless.
This team is also pretty slow getting back in transition. State looks a little flat tonight, but this team simply isn't taking advantage.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:43 PM ^
Gus caping up for Warde. Lots of people here getting upset!
February 17th, 2024 at 8:45 PM ^
February 17th, 2024 at 8:50 PM ^
cape verb
gerund or present participle: caping
-
(in bullfighting) taunt (the bull) by flourishing a cape.
"the film shows a man expertly caping a charging bull"
-
skin the head and neck of (an animal) to prepare a hunting trophy.
I’m going to need some help with that one. Is it muppet slang?
February 17th, 2024 at 8:53 PM ^

February 17th, 2024 at 9:43 PM ^
have done #2 a number of times. it doesn't just have to be the head-neck area.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:46 PM ^
Jackson is an absolute disaster factory. This isn’t new news but it’s so bad.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:48 PM ^
Dug misses two FTs. Does the Maize Rage get chicken nuggets?
February 17th, 2024 at 8:51 PM ^
We lead the league in chicken nuggets given as well as turnovers
February 17th, 2024 at 8:49 PM ^
Well. That's a wrap. Probably.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:49 PM ^
Keep sitting on your ass Warde, do what you do best!
February 17th, 2024 at 8:49 PM ^
The future is bright because a guy can dunk an uncontested breakaway?
February 17th, 2024 at 8:50 PM ^
Never thought I'd see an MSU game thread, with less than five minutes left in the half, in late February with like 40 posts.
Just an absolute clusterfuck of a program.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:50 PM ^
The last five minutes or so has been like watching a root canal. If you didn't know they were a last place team, you'd have a hard time comprehending how Michigan could put five guys on the floor who simply cannot play the game together.
I believe there's talent there, but they don't know the game.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:51 PM ^
Well, at least we're getting our second half fade out of the way before halftime tonight.
February 17th, 2024 at 8:51 PM ^
This team is playing like they are missing their senior leader on the floor
