Was this the first Big Ten game you've ever seen? I agree that the outside shooting was awful, but the defense was actually very good on both sides.

Both teams missed plenty of uncontested shots.

100%. It was not an impressive game offensively. I was kinda hoping it would end 51-45.......

It went about as well as Michigan's game did.

Yes! Like Michigan, MSU has never lost a game legitimately. Every loss was due to incompetent refs, crowned fields, time keepers, and weather.

I dont watch a lot of UM basketball, but my impressions after yesterday is they are not particularly well coached. There is so much one-on-one offense from guys who are not great creators. Their biggest mismatch is Dickinson and he does a very good job recognizing double teams and passing out of it. He should be touching the ball at least 60% of the time. You do not even need a set play for that, yet UM does not get him the ball enough and barely runs any sets at all. I know that Llewellan kid is out, so that might be part of it, but I still don't really understand what they are trying to do offensively.

They probably are poorly coached. A John Beilein coached team would never have lost to a shitty CMU team.
John Beilein lost to a shitty team from New Jersey. There were a lot of years where people wanted Beilein out.

Howard inherited a program that was in great shape, unlike JB.
