Michigan had a convincing 87-70 win over Michigan State on Tuesday night, a home game in which generated a lot of buzz on social media. At one point Michigan went on a 14-0 run, Hunter Dickinson had a heck of a game with 33 points — it was a good night for the Wolverines.
Here are some notable social media reactions from Michigan’s victory.

I’m gonna lose some followers for this one, but Hunter Dickinson is really good.

I love that Phil Martelli was giving so much credit to his younger assistants just now. That's just awesome.

Associated Press’ Larry Lage
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo spoke as softly and quietly as I can ever recall after Michigan's win and said: "They played better than us, shot better than us, moved the ball better than us."

The Athletic’s Brendan Quinn
If wondering what Izzo is upset about, I'm 90% sure it's b/c Hunter Dickinson has gone from making the "too small" motion after scoring over whoever is guarding him to now pointing at the Michigan State bench and yelling on his way back down-floor.

The VBDI PTPER of the night is @umichbball HUNTER DICKINSON as he was dominant vs @MSU_Basketball . @H_Dickinson24 with 33 points & 9 rebounds was just too efficient for Spartans . Yes BUBBLE is over the Maize & Blue will be part of @MarchMadnessMBB

Fantastic theatre each and every time they play.
We’re lucky to have it.

Okay, follow up: Martelli said if basketball doesn’t workout then Dickinson will be a WWE villain. https://t.co/ajXOIlATUa

Detroit News’ Bob Wojnowski
Upon further review, Izzo and Dickinson appeared to share a handshake. Good for them. Dickinson was definitely an agitator, in addition to scoring 33 in Michigan’s 87-70 victory.
