How the Midwest was won

Mike | March 21, 2010

MSU is Sweet 16 bound again! Not much else to say, except I hope there’s some way that Kalin Lucas & Chris Allen can get healthy for the next round. Here’s the final seconds from the MSU/Maryland game:

MSU wins battle of the will against Michigan, 57-56

Mike | January 26, 2010

Wow! Just when you thought a game couldn’t get any more dramatic than the MSU/Minnesota game last week, along comes this game. There must have been about a dozen lead changes,  with Michigan leading at the half 27-25. MSU played one of its worst games I’ve seen all season as far as turn-overs, free throws [...]

MSU beats Minnesota 65-64

Mike | January 23, 2010

From the very start of this game, I figured MSU was going to lose. Minnesota was playing at their best, blocking shots, stealing the ball, and hitting the 3-pointer. They were playing a lockdown defense that prevented MSU from getting easy baskets in the paint, or any offensive rebounds for that matter. MSU always seems [...]

Spartans beat Iowa in nail-biter 70-63

Mike | January 20, 2010

For the second game in a row, MSU played a good half of basketball–the middle half of the game. They started off slow, just like against Illinois on Saturday, then they started to pull away from Iowa. At one point, they were up by 19 points. It was clear that Iowa was getting winded by [...]

Remember the Alamo?

Mike | January 3, 2010

MSU’s football team suffered a fate similar to Davey Crocket as they got killed by Texas Tech at the Alamo Bowl last night, by a score of 41-31. I’m not really that disappointed, because I was expecting them to lose, and in all fairness, MSU played much better than I expected. This game was a [...]

We’re # 2!

Mike | April 6, 2009

O.K., so MSU got shellacked by UNC. I knew the game was over within the first 10 minutes, when UNC was up by around 20 points, but I’m not upset at all. MSU went a lot further than I had expected, and provided us with a lot of thrills for a couple of weeks. I [...]

Spartans Beat UConn!!!

Mike | April 4, 2009

MSU just beat UConn 82-73, awesome!!! I can’t wait until Monday night, but the UNC Tar Heels look pretty tough. I’m not getting my hopes up, but if MSU can beat Louisville & UConn, they should be able to beat anybody. GO GREEN! GO WHITE! GO MSU, BEAT UNC!
