The Official Michigan, MSU Thread (CLOSED)

    I think the target on Michigan's back is going to be that they're ranked in the top 3 and undefeated. Everyone wants to be the team that beat Michigan for the first time and knocked them out of the top 3 or top 5 or whatever.

    That's definitely true. The longer UM stays undefeated, the larger the target becomes.

    If, by the sheer grace of God, UM was somehow undefeated come February 12th, I would want nothing more than to be the team that gave them their first loss.

    The thing that will become interesting is whether or not opposing teams put a target on the um bb team. Teams in the B1G have always taken pride in beating MSU whether or not we were great or mediocre. For whatever reason teams in the B1G always seemed to circle our games. We have healthy rivalries with Illinois, Wisky, Purdue, UM, and PSU and NU always seem to play like final four teams whenever we play them. I have seen more teams shoot light outs against an MSU team that will make the final four than it seems happens to any other team. I don't see teams playing O$U like they would MSU. I don't know why it is, the closest was last year when Illini shot lights out against O$U and the kid who scored 40 or 50 points was making circus shots all over the place.

    I have no problem saying UM is good in bball.. I don't hate UM in bball nearly as much as I do in CFB.

    Another good B1G team in CBB? Works for me.

    Hey, you still haven't explained how it is worse for MSU that they get to switch out off their schedule, 2 games that they lost last year.

    Because we're taking 2 guaranteed wins off the schedule in home games vs Neb and PSU

    You are really pissy for sure. It's not like I said Reuben Foster. If Levenberry came to Michigan, I wouldn't be shocked.

    Well of course being good in football is huge, football is king. MSU is a football school that had been a massive failure for the majority of 2 decades. It makes sense that MSU fans would be dying for football success.

    I had not realized that basketball success meant as much to UM fans, that's all.

    You guys are a basketball school.

    Sooo, removing 2 games that MSU lost (@Illini and @NW) and replacing it with 2 teams that MSU went undefeated against last year, is a bad thing? confused

    It is stupid crap like this that leads to people putting you on ignore, again.

    Just because MSU lost them last year doesn't mean they would lose them this year.. confused

    My point was simply saying I would rather have UM's conf schedule than MSU's

    It's simply what you do to 1- get your bench more minutes and 2- for your best players to not get worn down at the end of the year..

    Think everyone saw Burke's exhaustion into the B1G Tourney and NCAA game..

    I mean, when you have guys like Russell Byrd and Alex Gauna sitting on your bench, why would you leave your starters in?

    There's a balnace between plying them for 1/2 of a contest and giving them 10 minutes off. If you play your reserves too much, your starters will get rusty. This is Beilein's philosophy. He plays his starters for most of the game to work on different in game situations.

    And that's worked out for him so far in his career.

    I don't think the starters are exerting tons of energy playing when Michigan is up big.

    Wait, you used this for your argument,
    "Neb knocked off IU last year at home
    Iowa knocked off UM last year at home"

    Do you realize you were using what happened last year as your argument? My God, you are like a child.

    You expect him to go to the final four at Canisius and Richmond. no He wasn't at WVU long enough for a FF and still got an elite eight. Now he's primed to make a run at the FF this year for us.

    5 years isn't enough time to get to a Final Four.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    Kentucky last year, 4 players over 30 minutes a game, another at 29 minutes a game. Their 6th man averaged 26 minutes a game, and the 7th player averaged 11 minutes a game. No other player in double digits for minutes per game.

    I am sure you are know better than Coach Cal and Beilein. lol

    MSU is much easier to recruit at than Michigan or WVU. It doesn't matter though . I'm not going to argue with you. Rooting for your trainwreck of a basketball team is punishment enough.

    And glad to see you're comparing Cal's starting 5 to UM's starting 5.

    They look comparable in talent to me roflmao
