The regular season men's basketball re-match is coming up this weekend between the Spartans and the Wolverines, so we'll help set the stage by framing up each program and measuring its overall success on a season-by-season basis.

  1. For completeness sake, both teams also have 1 National Title Runner Up to their credit.

  2. Does the league championships include both regular season and B1G tournament? I bet the record disparity would be even wider in conference play since MSU played so many tough non-league games while Ann Arbor was playing no-names and racking up wins.

    1. The league championships noted at the time of your comment were for the REGULAR SEASON only. I will check the record for the conference tournament and possibly update the article.

      You are totally correct on one aspect of your question. In all of those seasons that UM played in the NIT, they got plenty of extra wins against non-NCAA-Tournament teams.

  3. There is a banner for the regular season.
    There is a banner for the conference tournament.
    Until March Madness starts, there are no banners for OOC success.
