Michigan vs MSU Basketball 2022 Preview
The season has not started as planned for Michigan, which started No. 6 in the preseason poll but sit at 7-6. The Wolverines have lost three of their last four, all to unranked opponents. Michigan’s latest loss came 75-67 against Rutgers, which ended the Scarlet Knights’ 87-year winless streak against the Wolverines.
Despite the loss, four players were in double figures for Michigan, led by Hunter Dickinson, who scored 25 points. Juwan Howard was blunt about what’s wrong with his team — and it’s a lot.
“It’s so easy to point out what’s missing from this group,” he said. “‘No leadership. No shooting. No defense.’ I have so much positive — I see so many great things of what this team is going to become. I’m all-in with this group.
“I’m not going to be that coach — I’ve seen and heard coaches point the finger at players, blame players, wondering who recruited them and stuff like that,” Howard added. “You’re never going to hear that from me, because I’m in the trenches with these guys, win or lose, whatever it is. We’re family.”
While Michigan is struggling, the Spartans are not taking them lightly as they come to town.
“Anybody that thinks this isn’t a good Michigan team is crazy,” Michigan coach Tom Izzo said on Thursday after Michigan State’s practice. “They are trying to figure out how to play together, they’ve had different lineups, and we’ve gone through some of that last year.”
Spartans junior forward Malik Hall echoed his coach’s sentiment.
“I don’t ever look at the record,” Hall said. “I just look at what they’re capable of, because on any given night anybody is capable of anything, really.”
