Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 2)

Had to think about it for a bit, but give me the Sparty games. There is no appeasing the Cryin’ Illini. They have multiple excuses in their pocket ready to fly when they lose tomorrow night. Should they happen to win, they are still unlikely to dig themselves out of the hole they built for themselves (a hole they dug when the team was at full strength). Blue collar, white collar, but especially orange collars will be stained with the tears of Illinois.

This is a rare year when it looks like Michigan can finally exercise some ghosts of past Sparty blowouts. Even when Michigan is having an up year, it seems the best they can do is split with MSU.

I certainly remember what happens when Sparty is in control in their games against Michigan: late game dunk contests and whatever Matt Costello did to that baseline camera.

After football, I’m not taking Sparty for granted. I don’t want bad coaching, bad roster management, and sideline antics to get rewarded this time around with a close game. Pound Sparty. Pound 'em.

Just reminding myself that I’d really prefer that Michigan pound Sparty.

How many times has MSU fouled on a potential turnover?

I have a lot of respect for Aaron Henry. If he wasn’t so tough this team would be absolutely putrid

Superfan16 · March 5, 2021, 1:15am

Wow you rarely see a big guy make a pass like that from the ground. He totally saved that possession

Coachhay · March 5, 2021, 1:16am
