The counting stats are going to look really nice for Fears, Cooper, and Kohler after this game but man, they’ve messed up a lot of little things today
Yaxel Lendenborg is having an out of body experience from 3 today after putting up Coen Carr numbers for 2 months. MSU probably wins big if not for that. It’s like the basketball gods hate us
Cam Ward has left a lot to be desired today
Fears just got hit in the face on that drive, asked the refs to look at it, and the refs opted not to. I’m just tired of this
All the momentum and the lead, then we decide it’s Denim-time. Fears comes back in with the game tied and all the momentum the other way, leading to an extended 11-0 run by Michigan. Hard to overstate how debilitating the Ugochukwu injury was
Denim is so bad at basketball he’s the only player capable of lobbing too high for Carr. Thank god Fears is back
Toss Mara. 2 Flagrants
Fears just lost out on Big Ten Player of the Year too
Yeah, they couldn’t take advantage. It’s not impossible but I just don’t see it
Coen just hit a wet spot on the floor but if Michigan wins today we’re going to have to listen to the brainless pretend he just got juked out of his shoes until the end of time
If MSU doesn’t win the final 5 minutes of the first half with Michigan’s whole front court in foul trouble MSU won’t win this game
Can’t box out anymore?
Michigan’s entire lead is free throws. For as bad as MSU has looked on offense, they’ve made things as difficult for Michigan when they aren’t getting bailed out by the whistles
So far, the moment has been too big for Jeremy Fears today and that just sucks.
12 minutes of Michigan in the bonus. This sucks
My god MSU is getting a brutal whistle. This one feels over already
What if fouls were called on both teams?
MSU had a solid start and then immediately flushed it down the toilet. You can’t make silly mistakes vs this team
2 straight possessions where Michigan is bailed out by the refs. If that continues this game won’t be close
Please just show up
Game 31: @ Michigan (2)
MSU Pregame Rank: 9
Projected Score: 79-69 (+10)
There isn’t a way to twist Denham Wojcik into a real scholarship player, be serious. He barely played in the Ivy League
Sanders and Wojcik are walkons. If his dad wasn’t on the staff Wojcik would be working an office job right now
They weren’t doing that though. They had laid off and were letting MSU dribbling up normally until Izzo inserted 2 senior walkons and a transfer who’s been collecting DNPs for 2-1/2 months into the lineup
Game 30: vs Rutgers (134)
Win 91-87
Did not cover the KenPom Spread (-17)
Postgame Rank: 10 (-2)
Record: 25-5
Record vs KenPom Spread: 16-14
Season Differential vs KenPom Spread: (+58)
The end of that game just left a bad taste in my mouth. Go beat the scumbags on Sunday.
Between this and using the shooting on MSU’s campus for a scheduling advantage, I’ve had enough of Pikiell. Hope Rutgers cans him.
In a normal game, Izzo doesn’t put the seniors in like that, and it’s a double digit win. Pikiell was trying to take advantage of Izzo doing something nice for his guys, that’s the only reason it’s close. That’s bush league
(It was also pretty bush league for Pikiell to have his starters go hard at MSU’s walkon seniors in a basically over game)
