Michigan 79 Michigan State 70: This is always a great game when these two schools play each other they played at Michigain this time. The Spartans are ranked number 13 in the nation and Michigan is at number 20 and they both are at number one and two opponents respectfully in the Big Ten.

Michigan State is 22-6 and Michigan is 19-7 it might come down to these two teams meeting in the Big Ten finals. You really want to keep an eye on both of these teams and both of these teams are playing really well. This was a close, close game that was back and forth. I picked the Spartans to win this game and that might have upset my broadcast partner Jeremy Kahn but Jeremy is not to be too upset as the Wolves ended up winning this game by nine on Sunday.

Michigan State played better ball in the first half and Michigan was coming off a loss at Wisconsin but Michigan fought hard in the end of the game and got the points to win it at home. For Michigan top three scorers Nik Stauskas was the high scorer with 25, Chris LeVert finished with 23 and Glenn Robinson III had 15. For Michigan State Gary Harris 21, Denzel Valentine 13, and Adreian Payne with 12.

Wichita State 83 Drake 54: Wichita State are headed for some big records, I have been saying for the past month that people have not been giving Wichita State the respect they deserve. They are the number one team in the country. They have gone undefeated, Syracuse is the only team that’s standing in their way and they should have been a number two instead of a number three last week.

Florida happened to get in and jump above Syracuse which isn’t right, but Wichita State should be number one and if they don’t get selected to number one it would be a terrible travesty they are sitting on top of the mountain. Just because their playing in the Missuori Valley conference doesn’t mean their games are any less competitive.

Wichita State is blowing out their competition and they wupped up on Drake, Wichita State deserves to be number one and should be recognised as such. You got to get those AP voters from the big conferences like the SCC and thier going to do their best to keep Whicita State in their place.

New Mexico 58 San Diego State 44: The Lobos are not ranked right now and San Diego State are number six in the AP and New Mexico are not ranked but their up there in the Mountain West Conference with San Diego State and it most likely will come down to those two when it’s time for conference championships to come in.

New Mexico is a hard team to beat when your in the Pit and it’s just not the team, it’s that crowd at University Arena with 15,411 behind you screaming and supporting the Lobos. UNM fans get there and they cheer and they cheer loud. The Pit is loud and you have to laugh when the Lobos play a hard half of basketball.

At the Pit you have to run up the tunnel to get to the dressing room that takes more out of your legs. You have to give credit to New Mexico head coach Craig Neal he’s got these players playing hard and you have to expect them to get a large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
