Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo has lead the Spartans to the NCAA Final Four for the sixth time in 12 years. Izzo has been reminding the team of the importance of defense to championships and the Spartans did a remarkable job of shutting down the athletic, talented, Tennessee Volunteers, winning 70-69. While I’m not [...] The MSU Spartans hung around for a two point victory against the University of Maryland Terrapins last night. At one point, they were up on Maryland by 16 points. But once point guard Kalin Lucas went down (and out of the game with an obviously serious injury), the Spartans lead evaporated. In fact, the Spartans found themselves [...] The Michigan State Spartans survived to play another day in the 2010 NCAA tournament. The Spartans played a tremendously uneven game. At times they were brilliant and at other times they were sloppy. This is exactly how this team has played all year. A highlight for the Spartans was Kalin [...] A quick piece of good news from the struggling University of Michigan basketball program. They beat 15th ranked Connecticut 68-63 on Sunday in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines were led by Manny Harris, who had 18 points and eight rebounds. Maybe this team will be making a run for the NCAA tournament after all? It’s still an uphill [...] Things had been pretty quiet around the Motor City Sports Blog offices the past week. The brouhaha over Sidney Crosby’s snub of Nicklas Lidstrom, as well as the fact that our Winged warrior came up one game short of the cup, has worn off. And the Tigers have been playing [...] Like you, I watched yesterday’s Pistons game hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. And the only positive thing you can say about the game is that our expectations were met. The Pistons 2008-2009 season came to a crashing halt on Sunday as “King” LeBron James further solidified his reputation as one of the greatest [...] It’s always like this in the end. Athletes rarely quit before their time is up (Barry Sanders is the exception to this rule) and teams are rarely broken up and reimagined by their management before they are unraveled by a younger, hungrier and yes … more talented team. What’s happening to the [...] If it wasn’t painfully obvious to anyone that’s followed the Pistons this year, the end of an era is near. In much the same way that the Bad Boys moved past the Lakers, and then became victims to Michael Jordan and the Bulls, the Pistons are outmatched by a younger, faster and more talented team. The Cavs [...] From the AP wire: NEW YORK (AP)—This didn’t look like a club fighting for a No. 7 or 8 seed. These resembled the old Detroit Pistons, who used to beat up on those types of teams in the playoffs. Richard Hamilton scored 22 points, Rasheed Wallace had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and the Pistons rolled into [...] |
