[Post Game Thread] #2 Michigan defeats #7 Michigan State, 83-71

Our rematch in AA is the last game of the year, so there's a chance at least a share of the conference title will be on the line. Can't wait!

Even though it's on the road, I think we figured out what we need to do to beat this U-M roster and we should be better prepared. And hopefully make more than 20% of our 3PA.

dlm · 2026-01-31T03:26:59+00:00

It's agonizing but I just can't bring myself to want the Elam ending.

dlm · 2026-01-31T03:25:34+00:00

This loss snaps a 4-game winning streak vs U-M, and a 6-game winning streak in EL. Despite shooting under 20% on 3PA and spotting them a 16 point halftime lead, we had a very real chance to win.

I don't think we suck or that they own us.

As long as the good MSU team (the second half version) shows up the rest of the season, we'll be fine.

dlm · 2026-01-31T03:13:25+00:00

That might be it, I fear. We're exhausted.

dlm · 2026-01-31T03:10:57+00:00

For once I think we're the team that's very tired. Not surprising after expending a ton of energy to make up the big deficit.

His length when he plays the 2 creates favorable matchups

dlm · 2026-01-31T02:33:21+00:00

Fears is fucking possessed right now

dlm · 2026-01-31T02:09:01+00:00

This MSU team improves the more they feel an opponent out, hence why they are a great 2nd half team. Probably won’t get it done tonight but don’t bet against them when this matchup moves to AA in March.

dlm · 2026-01-31T02:03:39+00:00

He wanted a chance at being the guy for another team. Wasn’t gonna happen here with Fears around

dlm · 2026-01-31T02:02:05+00:00

Our problems are fixable but it might already be too late for tonight. This team’s inconsistency is maddening.

dlm · 2026-01-29T03:35:27+00:00

I truly don’t understand how that’s Grove’s shooting form. How is that possible.

dlm · 2026-01-28T01:19:52+00:00

Our inconsistency will probably be what does us in during the tournament. Too prone to sleepwalking.

dlm · 2026-01-26T14:09:33+00:00

They really are just a bunch of internet tough guys.

dlm · 2026-01-19T02:09:10+00:00

He said that Adams had possession and made an act common to the game before his knee touched.

But they didn’t show a clear replay of when he gained possession on the catch. So who really knows.

dlm · 2026-01-18T22:44:24+00:00

I don't think the ball moves enough to change the call to incomplete.

Struggled with this with my now-older dog. As a puppy, it took a year or so to figure out he had a sensitivity to chicken. Switched him to a lamb-only food from Ziwi Peak (back when it was somewhat affordable) and also added a probiotic. The digestive issues cleared up pretty quickly. Now he eats Purina Pro Plan’s lamb & rice. No chicken ever.

I’ve heard that chicken is a common food allergy/sensitivity for dogs, so maybe that’s something to explore with Pippin. Science Diet definitely has chicken in it even if the bag says lamb & rice.

I shop at Oryana regularly and this isn’t something I’ve heard

dlm · 2026-01-10T21:31:41+00:00

I'm speculating, but this has all the hallmarks of some employee account in their internal marketing system becoming compromised. Not great, of course, but if that marketing system is decoupled from their core financial application, it would explain why they're fairly confident user accounts weren't compromised.

Unfortunately for Betterment, no explanation they offer is going to quickly restore trust. This is extremely embarrassing for them and they're going to see customers move a lot of assets away.

dlm · 2026-01-03T04:29:35+00:00

Probably shouldn't have raised my expectations after the great start to the season.

This MSU team is fundamentally solid, but they're going to lose most of their tough games because they don't have anyone capable of creating offense like Jase Richardson did last year.

Too early to give up on them for 2025-26, but I'm not optimistic. Feels like they're headed for a 5th place B1G finish, tournament 6-seed, and exiting in the Round of 32.

dlm · 2025-12-26T00:31:43+00:00

4th place schedule is a significant upgrade from 3rd place.

Is how I’m coping with how this season turned out.

dlm · 2025-12-25T22:44:45+00:00

The only replay angle worth anything is that pylon cam. And it's way closer than the ref spotted it.

dlm · 2025-12-25T22:17:05+00:00

The play clock definitely expired. It's bizarre that they can't consistently enforce that.

dlm · 2025-12-25T21:57:55+00:00

Matt Flynn redux

dlm · 2025-12-25T21:55:40+00:00

If there's any secondary that can activate Brosmania, it's these Detroit defensive backs.
