North Korea is upset, and the United States needs to do something to repair our relationship with the country, regardless of who is right. It's time for the United States to get down on its knees because, in the nuclear-weapon relationship game, you can't just make up later. With North Korea publicly boasting on Thursday that it has "nukes," and with peace talks nonexistent, we need to give up the stubborn, tough guy act and start playing to North Korea's interests.

Ann Arbor — The rivalry atmosphere was almost apparent, but MSU again spoiled the party at Crisler Arena, winning 64-49 over Michigan on the road. Despite U-M\'s efforts to slow down the game\'s pace — holding the ball to at least 11 seconds left on the shot clock — the Spartans (17-4 overall, 8-2 Big Ten) still seemed to control the tempo getting three dunks on their first four possessions. \"We knew it was going to be a fight coming in and we just had to take it to them,\" sophomore guard Shannon Brown said. Brown led the way early with 14 points shooting 7 of 8 from the field, but senior guard Alan Anderson stole the show in the final four minutes, finishing with 16 points and six rebounds. U-M (12-13, 3-8) led 30-20 at halftime, but with 2:55 left in the second half, U-M cut an 18 point lead to eight with the help of nine points from Wolverine guard Dion Harris. But as U-M tried to trap, the Spartans found Anderson driving to the basket for a dunk, two shots in the paint and a short pass to junior center Paul Davis for another dunk to push the lead to 18 again. Anderson also scored his 1,000th career point 2:24 into the game on a powerful wide-open slam dunk. \"I thought Alan was the MVP today,\" head coach Tom Izzo said.
