See Red Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Unfortunately the problem with college basketball, and I guess an argument for how college footballs system isn't completely terrible, is that even if this was the regular season, this loss, in the grand scheme of things, would mean almost nothing.I guess it's moot since it wasn't regular season anyways.

rams80 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 I guess the exhibition aspect may have made Michigan State lower its guard, but it seems like the exhibition victims are putting up a more spirited fight than usual this year.I mean, my school, Division III DePauw, had a lead on Indiana State with roughly 4 minutes left in the game.

Seadragon76 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Heh. This is semi funny. I say it's semi funny because those who root for GVSU only care about the beast that is their football program.Also, you think it makes sense since it is an exitbition game. If it was a regular season game, the Lakers would of lost by 50 or more. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Every year a D3 school beats a lower level D1 team. My college (Carthage who went to the d3 final four that year) missed a layup as time expired to nearly beat a team (Eastern Illinois) that went to the tourney later that season.This isn't App St. beating Michigan.

no97 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Also, you think it makes sense since it is an exitbition game. If it was a regular season game, the Lakers would of lost by 50 or more.Read that recap from Sparty again. Specifically note this quote:The Spartans shouldn't have been shocked at the loss since they trailed the Lakers for more than 38 minutes before escaping with a win last season. This time, Grand Valley controlled the game for most of its 50 minutes.I think they (or at least Tom Izzo) knew what to expect from GVSU...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakwood Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 My school, York (which is about equal to high Division 3 or low Division 2) beat Morehead State this year in an exhibition. Now I don't know anything about Morehead State other then they're Division 1, I dont know if they compete for the their conference title or not.

Sguse1 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 My school, winona state, beat the University of Minnesota last year in the regular season. Granted Winona State is the best D2 team in the country but still quite an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan St. is a lot of analyst's sleeper Final Four pick. Michigan was a preseason #5. Seems pretty similar to me (again, if this were the regular season).

Its slightly bigger than a D3 school beating a mediocre D1 school, but if it was a big of a deal as App St. beating Michigan it would have been all over the place. Another thing is, its so rare for a Basketball team to go undefeated, nor is it necessary for one to go undefeated to win it all. In football, you almost always have to go undefeated (this year is proving otherwise but...) to win a national title. A loss to a team you shouldn't beat, be it Austin Peay or Grand Valley State isn't as devastating to you National Title aspirations and even more so for your Conference title aspirations. I don't like Michigan State and I got a chuckle out of this for sure...and its going to give student sections some material... I just don't think its that big of a deal and will be forgotten in a few weeks.And I know you know that an exhibition is much much different than regular season. Michigan State is still 0-0. Teams play the Globetrotters and Kiev Basket in exhibition games. If Eastern Lost to Carthage that year they would have been 0-1. But I think the only games that matter for post season are those within your same division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If college football had a 16 team playoff (like it should), Michigan would be in the conversation for an at large bid (if not an auto-bid), even with its HOT! HOT! HOT! disaster.It's a loss by a national power to a lower division school....ergo it's funny.
