Former Michigan shooting guard Nik Stauskas and former Michigan State forward Draymond Green never played each other in college, but now that the loudmouth alumni of one of the more popular college rivalries are both in the NBA, they’ve decided to put a wager on the Michigan-Michigan State meeting in Ann Arbor Tuesday night.
What started out as a bit of a Twitter fight between the two NBA players, ended in a bet on the game.
Draymond refused to put on Michigan colors. So Stauskas had to settle for his conditions.
An interesting wager indeed. The two teams met already just over two weeks ago where Michigan took Michigan State into overtime, but Michigan State took the win on their home floor.
The 13-12 Michigan squad is still playing without star player Caris LeVert, who suffered a season ending injury against Northwestern Jan. 17 and starting point guard Derrick Walton who has missed Michigan’s last five games.
Michigan State comes in still trying to prove that they are well deserving of a NCAA tournament bid. A big win over their rival on the road will help clear that up.
During Draymond Green’s four years at Michigan State, his team went 4-3 against interstate rival Michigan and during Nik Stauskas’ two years at Michigan, his team went 3-2 against Michigan State which included a Big Ten tournament game. May the best man win, gentlemen.
