"SENIOR DAY" COMPARISON: MSU vs UM

Everybody saw John Beilein's team lay an egg on "Senior Day" at Crisler on Saturday night, losing by double-digits without a single senior in uniform for the game. It was a sharp contrast to the show put on by Denzel Valentine and his classmates in Breslin.

Senior Day victories are not guaranteed, but they have become traditional for Spartan Basketball. The program is designed to bring the vast majority of its players to a performance peak during their senior seasons, culminating with a showcase in their last home game each year.

It's not quite the same at Michigan.

Beilein has eschewed both "Midnight Madness"

and "Senior Day" as meaningful dates on

the Wolverine basketball calendar.

Here's a look back at the last three Senior Days for both teams:

2016 "SENIOR DAY"

Michigan State won, 91-76

MSU Seniors = Valentine, Costello, Forbes, Wollenman

56 points, 17 rebounds, 19 assists

Michigan lost, 71-61

UM Seniors =  LeVert, Albrecht (DNP)

0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists

2015 "SENIOR DAY"

2014 "SENIOR DAY"

Summing up, the last three Senior Day games for each school:

• UM is 2-1, with a combined victory margin of 4 points

• Spartan Seniors: 93 points, 28 rebounds, 23 assists

UM carries on incessantly about "The Michigan Difference".

IS THIS IT?
