Both teams fighting for their tourney lives. Michigan embarrassed MSU on their home court earlier this season. Winner might punch their ticket, given how down the Big Ten is out of the top three.
Not sure if they "roll," but I'm thinking I'll be on MSU as well.

Too close to call either way. +1 MSU sounds about right imo.

Michigan has never been able to guard Kalin Lucas. Ever. Even in the win @ the Breslin Center Michigan allowed Lucas to go for 27 points. Michigan starts 3 freshmen. Did you see how scared they played vs. Wisconsin? I still think Michigan is scared of MSU. Expect MSU to go big early and try to abuse Smotrycz defensively and get Morgan into foul trouble. I have a feeling either Delvon Roe, Keith Appling, or even Durrell Summers is going to have a huge game in addition to Lucas who we already know is going to have a huge game. Michigan will probably shoot sub-30% from 3pt range. I also wouldn't be surprised if Crisler was 30-40% MSU fans.
MSU wins a surprisingly easy victory 67-55.

Someone tell the guy above me, that Michigan boat raced MSU on the road.
Plus Michigan lost against Wisky on a fluke fade away half court 3 pointer. I know Because I had Michigan +4.5, and the ML
Lastly, MSU has won a grand total of 2 road games this year. 1,2.

Dude, I'm a huge-ass Michigan fan. I'm just setting myself up for disappointment. And if we win and punch a ticket to the dance (or at the very least a first round bye in the big ten tournament), it will be 500 SBRPoints well spent.

They are playing their best ball in 4 years, and MSU is playing their worst in 10 years.

And yet, guys would still rather redshirt at MSU than start at Michigan. Recruits from Flint and Saginaw act like Ann Arbor doesn't even exist. Hell, the best player in the state, a McDonalds All American center from the same school as Chris Webber, JUST COMMITTED TO OHIO FREAKING STATE!.

Thad Matta opens up his wallet to get the best. Tell Beilien to do the same.
Also being an academic school, like Michigan scares guys who want it easy academically.

Every Michigan athlete is either kineseology or sports management. Don't you remember Harbaugh saying a while back what a joke they've become academically with their athletes?

Every Big Ten school is prestigious academically. Michigan is top 5 in the country in engineering, but how many of these basketball players actually go into engineering? Easily < 5%. It's not like Ohio State (or any other B10 school) is a cake walk for these guys.
EDIT: Excluding the recently added Nebraska, of course. Hey, they came from the Big 12.

Bin win for Michigan. Take that momentum into the tourney and get a strong showing for a chance to get to the big dance.
