Top 5 MSU/U-M moments
No. 3: The Brent Petway Experience
After a vicious elbow to Maurice Ager in the game between the two teams on Jan. 25, Michigan’s Brent Petway was public enemy No. 1 when the Wolverines came into Breslin Center on Feb. 18. Members of the Izzone held up signs like “If you can read this, you’re not Brent Petway,” and “Brent Petway is a talentless thug.”
What followed couldn’t have been scripted any better for Spartans fans.
Petway, nicknamed “Air Georgia,” missed two dunks and had a blocked 3-pointer bounce off his head and out of bounds.
On top of all that, the Spartans blew out the Wolverines, 90-71.
Adding to the hilarity was a highlight video of U-M’s various blunders during the game set to Petway’s hilariously bad rap song. You can find it at YouTube.com. Watch and enjoy.
