Call it the “Curse of Mike Hart.” Today, July 30, 2010, marks 1,000 days that the University of Michigan has gone without beating Michigan State in football or basketball, since Nov. 3, 2007, when Hart, the Wolverines star running back, referred to the Spartans as “little brother” in the wake of a 28-24 comeback victory at Spartan Stadium.

With a win, the Wolverines can reach the .500 mark in the Big Ten, end a five-game losing streak to the Spartans and make a push for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

We can debate how close DeShawn Sims' short attempt at the buzzer came (very close), and whether the Wolverines could use a break (sure). But you can't debate this: The Spartans finish, and the Wolverines don't.
