I feel like Michigan-Duke 2008 has to be somewhere on these lists. The UCLA game that year could’ve been a fluke. We had already lost the next game to Duke by 15 in fact. That second Duke game felt like “Wow, this might actually be happening.”

Yep I remember all the talking heads, “how is Michigan going to handle the HAVOC defense?” The answer to that question was…with ease.

That was my first ever Michigan game so it gets the added nostalgia points for me. It would be very difficult to pick just 10 games, I keep thinking of others.

What a ridiculously cool first game. I 100% see how that could lead to superfandom later on in your Maize Rage career.
I was 11 or 12 then and I wanted so badly to rush the court, but my dad wouldn’t let me. “You’ll get trampled.” That’s probably my favorite sporting event of all time to see live.

I’ll add the Florida regional final as a personal fave. It was a beautiful follow to the Kansas classic.
My faves that I was in attendance for were the OK St. and Louisville tourney games in Indy and the 2018 destruction of UNC at home. That was the loudest I’ve ever heard Crisler. I got chills when Roy surrendered in that one.

Damn it was so much more fun when Winston had too many bad ideas to pass to that Izzo considered to be his Plan A.
At least M has been there done that more than there fair share. Lunardi’s latest bracket has M in the west bracket again. So if that happens @BigBoutros will be happy.

Speaking of throwbacks wouldn’t mind seeing those maize '89 unis again tonight.

Jordan Morgan vs. Jared Sullinger pretty much embodies the talent distribution in the early Beilein-Matta matchups. Morgan outplayed Sullinger in this game, and it wound up winning the team a share of the conference championship.

There is nothing in LA this year! I have to go to San Diego or San Francisco. Boo hoo!
IMO, If they can’t have a faithful copy of it, let’s get the Fab 5 throwbacks going already.

We’re already pretty close with our regular uniforms, except that the “MICHIGAN” font is too small. I don’t know why they won’t make it just a little bigger.

Exactly, although it would be nice to have the full and entirely period-correct reproduction. Overall IMO we’re due for a uniform refresh, but also IMO there’s not enough wrong with the current unis to risk letting Jumpman fix what isn’t broken.
I was in the band that day. No one expected us to hang with them, let alone win by enough that students were lined up to storm the court in the final minute. It was tight throughout, but we had just enough and nailed the free throws coming down the stretch.

That was one of the best road trips for an athletic event ever. Those games were all so damn fun.

Rematch against louisville in Indy. Made a last second decision to drive 12 hours through the night and just made it. Sat in the middle of the Louisville section too, which made it even sweeter.

Should be a win for Sparty. I would also recommend that might be best to keep them out for the game on Sunday.

MSU winning keeps the dream of the 4 seed alive, and also can help move them up to the top 30 in the NET (currently #35) giving us another Quad 1 win.
This is obviously a meteor game but MSU wining probably helps us a little more. From there it’ll be interesting to see whether Young and Key are back for this Sunday

One question OSU might have is whether they really need to rush them back on Sunday given that they’re pretty locked into their seed and comfortably in the tournament. I suggest they rest them for the BTT next week and give them the weekend off.
