Another Great day in Spartan Sports… I’m not sure what was better, The Red Wings win.. the new Sports Illustrated Swim Suit edition, or the Spartan BBall team spanking the Wolverines in AnnArbor… Yeah.. it’s the Spartan Victory in AnnArbor..… Didn’t the Spartan Football Team also beat them in AnnArbor this year.. ??? Spartans ROCK !
What an Awesome Game !
Half of the Crew went to the game in hostile territory, the remainder (Jenni, Dale and I) hung out in a local tavern… In any case.. What a game! The Spartan “D” was a brick wall.. Every time the AnnArborits got close, the Spartans shut them down, and stretched the lead.. … I was surprise at what a low scoring “D” battle this seemed to be.. Spartans have beaten scUM 16 out of the last 19 games

Travis Walton covered Manny Harris like steel curtain, Harris only got 7 points, 2 – 10, and 4 turnovers… Walton played stellar “D”.. Damn he was good..
Delvon Roe had a career game (14 pts, 10 rebs), best Freshman in the Big Ten… The Spartan Depth is showing, since Raymar is still out due to illness.. The Spartan Bench is as dangerous as the starting 5.

The win did less for the Spartans than a possible win would have done for Beilein’s team… Michigan is done for the year.. they can count on the NIT (maybe), their resume is not going to get them in the tourney.. The Spartans add to their lead in the Big Ten.. Spartans are only increasing their RPI / Sagarin / SpartyMSU/ Pomeroy and other ratings…
Spartans have a stretch off, to regain health and stamina.. and hopefully get Morgan back.. They don’t play until Feb 17, when they travel to West Lafayette to play the BoilerMakers.
Sparty On !!!
