It's a rivalry....why would you not expect us to compare ourselves with MSU and vice versa? It happens all the time in football as well. I've lost count with how many times I've heard "MSU has won 5 of the last 6 in football against Michigan!!" That's perfectly fine, MSU fans should be proud of their teams. We do the same stuff when the trend is in our favor. I'm sure you were sick of hearing "MSU hasn't won in the Big House since 1990 lol!!"
Michigan fans do it, MSU fans do it. It's a rivalry. Don't act like your fanbase doesn't behave the exact same way if not worse. You are on this board almost every single day and you are a diehard Spartan fan. What is that supposed to tell us?
As far as yesterday goes, it was very apparent before the game that Michigan would be in trouble, especially given the way MSU is currently rolling. MSU has strengths that take advantage of Michigan's weaknesses there's no denying that. Michigan also was not on their game whatsoever due to tired legs and not being able to hit their jump shots. MSU plays a style more suited to the third game in three days scenario, and it worked in their favor.
The basketball programs are fairly even right now in my estimation. Michigan took 2 of 3, with both teams having "gripes" about why their team lost each particular game. Let's move on shall we?
of course rivalries matter, beating UM yesterday was a lot more fun than beating OSU. I don't like to pull up arbitrary time periods, it's a weak argument, the 5 of 6 in football included.
as for the gripes, do you think MSU was hitting jump shots yesterday? we shot 12% from 3 yesterday, you guys shot 26%. Both Michigan and MSU shoot 39% from the 3 on the year. I don't know if I see that as a legitimate gripe, we both played 3 straight games. It's not our fault the you couldn't generate any other offense if the jumpers weren't falling.
