I agree, but I live in the metro Detroit area. UM fans think they had a bad game the first game and got screwed the second game. They’re unbearable. If they beat us tomorrow I wouldn’t here the end of it, even though we would have won 2 out of 3.
To be clear, I don’t mean all UM basketball fans. Just the ones who love football and only care about basketball when UM’s good.
Yeah, our beat up squad is better than UM at full strength. I do think there is a breaking point though and Winston limping is not good. I would just bench him for the game.
but, Michigan's record is better as of now, and MSU hasn't played Michigan at full strength either.
I don’t think we got screwed. I think we played like shit both games.
matthews played for 20 minutes with a sprained ankle, which he shouldnt have. the reason he was out game 2 was the injury from the game at crisler.
I’m not saying MSU isn’t better, but too much weight can be put on head to head results sometimes. Michigan’s best weapon is Simpson locking up the other teams PG but Winston is impossible to shut down so it ends up being a bad matchup for Michigan.
Indiana swept Michigan State but that doesn’t make Indiana anywhere close to as good as Michigan State. MSU had a couple off games and/or Indiana played good those games.

Did you watch the game or just look at the box score? Matthews got hurt that game.
And I’m not using that excuse because Michigan still played like shit but I’m not sure how one could say Michigan was at full strength that game.
My take on Michigan and MSU is this- MSU's 'average' is slightly better than Michigan, but when Michigan is playing their A game they have a (slightly) higher ceiling.
Don’t want to play you guys either.
Win? We are still down 2-1 and now have to hear about how meaningless the big ten tournament.
Lose? 3-0 sweep.
Yeah my comment was more because they won the big ten, rated higher on Kenpom even with the injuries, I think they’re a lot better offensively than UM, plus you throw in the head to head results just to top it off.
I don’t think he’s trolling me either.
I guess if MSU has Ward and Langford and Ahrens at full strength we blow UM out of the building. But yeah, Matthews and that sprained ankle. I’m all shook up over it.
I disagree 100%. Our A game beats them every time and that’s our B squad A game. Not even bringing in a healthy Ahrens, Ward, and Langford.
A UM fan complaining to MSU fans this season about injuries. Wow. That’s a first.
Josh Langford is done for the season.Nick Ward, and Kyle Ahrens have missed significant time. Mcquaid missed some time. Cash has knee tendinitis and a toe injury right now.
But yeah, sorry Charles Matthews only played 20 minutes one game and missed the next.
I’m not sure why you’re getting weird over this. All he did was point out that Michigan had an injured starter in a game you said they were full strength in. Nothing less nothing more.
Yes, a fully healthy MSU’s A game is better than UM’s fully healthy A game.
But MSU isn’t fully healthy. So there is no point in having that argument.
As of now MSU looks marginally better, other sites like torvik have Michigan 4th msu 7th, either way they are both close to top 5.
Read the conversation, man. The MSU poster said Michigan lost at full strength. All that guy did was point out that Michigan wasn’t at full strength. What’s so wrong about that?
UM vs MSU is gonna be a good one. Those teams are hot right now
ok but, msu's A game with langford resulted in a 5 point loss to kansas and a loss to louisville. Michigan's A game beat North Carolina by 19 and Nova by 27 on the road.
Comparing single games is dumb. MSU is better head to head and probably better full strength. Right now the two teams are pretty even overall, though.
MSU wasn’t playing their A game those 2 games. MSU has gotten better as the season progressed even with injuries. UM has gotten worse, or has at least cooled off from the hot start that was helped by playing in Spain.
Not sure if cooled off is the right description. They aren’t consistent but the Michigan team we saw yesterday and today is every bit as the team we saw early this year.
Yeah, I guess. They were just on fire to start the year, and that was because of their Soain trip.
Same thing happened with the 2015-2016 MSU team that went undefeated in non conference but finished 3rd in the Big Ten.
This is true. UM was at full strength to begin the game but Matthews sprained his ankle.
Then MSU with their beat up B squad beat UM at home and then also beat them again at the Breslin Center to win the Big Ten regular season with Purdue.
That injury occurred like 2 minutes into the game. Saying Michigan was at full strength that game is odd. Throwing a fit because someone corrected you over that is even more odd.
He said MSU hasn’t played UM at full strength yet. UM hasn’t played MSU at full strength yet either. I thought it was an odd point to make that UM had one player play 20 minutes even though the other team was decimated with injuries.
Not false, just really odd.
Agree with this post. UM was at full strength to begin the game and then we beat them on their home court without Langford, Ward, and a limited Ahrens.
He was literally correcting the guy that said Michigan was at full strength in Ann Arbor. Why is that confusing? He didn’t say MSU was at full strength. He simply corrected the guy who said Michigan was.
You apparently didn’t. You though Michigan was at full strength that game. Did you watch it and forget or just not watch it?
it would not be the 1st time that Iowa lost to Duke in the NCAAT. so it wouldn't matter now would it and people would have nothing to bitch about if Iowa lost now would they.
