    No. 4 Michigan (-1) at No. 8 MSU
    Thoughts on this one? I initially wanted to hammer the Wolverines, but the Spartans seem to keep getting better and they have the kind of frontcourt that can really bother Michigan. Should be a great game. MSU might be hampered by their injuries; Harris and Appling still aren't 100%, and Trice continues to be out. Breslin Center is a shooter's gym, and the Wolverines have plenty of those.

    Why is Breslin center a 'shooters gym'?

    Also, I'd be surprised if line didn't end up msu-2, of which I will still be putting my hard earned GREEN on.

      Let me add that I've watched every MSU game this season, and every UofM game in B1G conf. play this season. I won't call it a lock, cuz it's gonna be a hell of a game, but I will confidently put money on the Spartans with or without pts tomorrow night. IZZO will have the boys so pumped up and ready for this game, and the Bres will be so f*ckin loud. Payne and nix are the stars of this battle, and I mean battle. McGary can't hang. Can see this goin msu 68 um 64

          I am a Michigan fan. I certainly respect State's game, and the incredible job that Izzo does year in and year out to get his team prepared to play, especially down the stretch of the season. Respect State A LOT!

          All that being said, I just want to say that McGary is starting to really come to, and feeling more comfortable in the offense and his duties and assignments on both ends of the floor. I missed Saturdays game, as I got nailed with 2+ feet of snow on Friday night and my power went out until late last night, so I cant really comment on how he played aside from saying his numbers looked good on the stat sheet. Michigans weakness certianly in my eyes in the interior work. State obviously has the advantage in that aspect, as well as experience of Nix and Payne. If McGary continues to grow a bit more and carry out his duties as he has been, and continue to improve in the next few weeks, than I think that Michigan becomes much much more dangerous. I just dont want you to discount him so easily. He hustles hard, and if he plays up to his potential like he has been lately, than things may not be so easy as you seem to think!

          Enjoy the game bro...

            I've read that it is through the years. Has something to do with the lighting and background.

                    I'm jamming Mich based on the fact I can't see them losing again. Fluke loss against my Badgers that cost me 600...had Mich -2 in that game. Lost betting them against Indiana. I guess I'm overdue to win betting them once. Oh, and I thought they were going to win the national title this year I just can't see them losing here. Sure they have horrible post defense see NC State and OSU games but shit they gotta pull off a close one at some point.

                      Cant wait for this game. Still sticking with my gut which is these teams split season series. Cant wait Im going to be in Lansing about 3 hours before tip. Breslin going to be slamming in about 20 hours. I don't think there is a more hated team than Michigan for MSU fans. MSU owns Michigan in basketball only losing 1 out of last 15 in East Lansing to Michigan and 21-6 overall. Izzo will have them ready I think. This is best Michigan team in 20 years though, but I also think MSU has been playing a lot more of a complete game over last month. MSU needs to pound the rock down to Nix and Payne in post. That's where they hold biggest advantage.

                        Michigan is good enough to beat M.state on the road. But the public will be all over Michigan. Who knows.

                        I think the playing on the road might be a little over hyped right now. Indiana just went into Ohio state and crub stomped them. And Illinois just when into Minn. and beat them in their house.

                          You're going to be there, right?

                          Nix and Payne are certainly the X-factors, but it's hard to say which Nix and Payne will show up.

                          MSU tends to sacrifice its perimeter D so that it can crash the boards, which may be a recipe for disaster if U-M gets hot from deep....

                            Yes I am. Cant wait its going to be fun either way but obviously alot better if MSU wins. If Michigan wins Ill hear about it for rest of year from some of my friends.

                                Will definitely be playing the Michigan State ML. I got big money from them in their game @ Wisconsin. They are one of the best teams in the country right now in my opinion.

                                          As it stands nows, 56% is on Michigan, pretty balanced, yet a pk line has moved to -1.5 Michigan which some sharps have taken Michigan @ pk then when public jumps harder on Michigan, they can get MSU at say +3.5 to create a middle spot where you win on both sides. Actually MSU have played close to the opening line lots in big games so it makes sense. I must say with Trice's recent form from downtown, if can't suit it today them it takes away MSU's 1-2 punch from from back-court front-court, but they will still have the big front court to really on.

                                              Just heard Tom Izzo on Mike & Mike, he was asked about strategy and said MSU need to keep Michigan from getting 12 or more 3s to 7 or less 3s. And for MSU, they need to take advantage of MU inside the paint & in transition.

                                                Ouch dude.. I can't imagine.. though I did blow $100 myself that I made up with bets against Old Dom and Duquesne that day that were barely payouts as well.. what a rollercoaster of a day that was.

                                                      In this match-up, he has a key role, giving depth to the guard position, allowing Harris & Appling to stay fresh and finally is 3pt shooting skill can create more room for Payne & Nix or vice versa. I will be taking MSU if he plays.

                                                            First half was a push for me.

                                                            I'm seeing 71 on the total which seems a bit high.

                                                                      U-M just plain quit. Horrible shot selection, no fight -- this one's on Burke. He's the point guard and should be their leader. Appling owned him tonight. I'm starting to wonder about Burke given the way he's played in big games, which included the NCAA Tournament flameout in the first round last year vs. Ohio.
