What a win for Michigan had a big lead they let lil bro get close and then Michigan pulled away at the end. Yaxel had a solid night. Morez was kind of a ghost…but man Cadeau was burning it down. Go Blue

@smashhitsports

I love a good rivalry game

@underwoodforheisman

I got a heart attack but yes we are so back and Yax is my goat

Great day to watch state lose

Come a long way from the Juwan Howard days

Saint Petersburg, FL

Awesome game that showed how good Michigan is, but also how good State can be on any given night. Gus Johnson is just not it 90% of the time

spartans did not play up to the level of michigan and js couldn’t pull away with a comeback and lost by 12

Now this is a great game to showcase Michigan’s strength. First half was pretty meh and the reffing wasn’t great at any point, but that Sparty comeback to open up the second half kicked off a really great half. Ultimately they just couldn’t hang around long enough and Michigan pulled away, but the entire second half up until the final minutes is everything you could ask for from one of the best rivalries in the sport

Messy sloppy but still fun

MSU started off this game poorly and let Michigan get to a 16 point lead at half. MSU did come back but then in the final 3 minutes decided to stop playing basketball giving Michigan a bit of a heart scare but a semi comfortable win. Izzo loses on his 71st birthday. Michigan holds the top seed status. MSU will look for revenge in March.

MSU started off completely anemic and looked like they couldn't hit a horse at the Kentucky derby. They picked up the pace and fought back but Michigan just had too much of a lead to come back from

Lights were a little too bright for the Carr I Fears.

Dusty May is proving time and time again he is a truly elite coach. Mich is so damn good on both ends they took Sparty's best punch to start the 2H and just kept firing on all cylinders. 1-5 and pound for pound I think Mich is probably the best team in the country

Another great win for Michigan

Would be better if Michigan state didn’t have a thug piece of garbage as their best player
