It didn’t take long for videos to surface of No. 14 Michigan State celebrating its 75-62 win over No. 12 Michigan on the road. Shortly after the game, a Michigan State fan posted a clip from an Instagram livestream inside the Spartans’ locker room.

In the video, the team can be seen dancing to “Take Over Your Trap” by Bankroll Fresh, which includes the lyrics, “Walk in your trap and take over your trap.” At the end of the clip, MSU guards Jase Richardson and Jaden Adkins can be seen singing along to the song.

The pair combined for 32 points in the win. However, Michigan State’s bench was the real hero in the win, outscoring Michigan’s bench 31-13. With the victory, Michigan State took sole possession of the No. 1 spot in the Big Ten standings.

The Spartans have won their last three meetings against Michigan. This was first-year Michigan head coach Dusty May‘s first time coaching in the rivalry game.

The Wolverines will have a chance to exact revenge when they travel to East Lansing to face off against Michigan State on March 9, in the two teams’ regular-season finale. Until then, it’s safe to assume that Michigan State fans won’t hesitate to rub in the victory.

Dusty May signs new contract with Michigan

On Friday, Michigan secured head coach Dusty May‘s future with the program by signing the 48-year-old head coach to a new multi-year contract. Ahead of the Wolverines’ showdown against Michigan State on Friday night, May provided Wolverines fans with a few encouraging words about the deal.

“I think it makes it obvious. I’m staying at Michigan,” May said, per CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander.

May is in his first year of a five-year contract with Michigan. Nonetheless, some fans were concerned about May leaving Michigan after Indiana head coach Mike Woodson revealed he will be stepping down at the end of this season.

Indiana is May’s alma mater. He served as a team manager for the Hoosiers under Bob Knight from 1996-2000. Evidently, May doesn’t plan on leaving Ann Arbor for the place he once called home.

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel officially announced the new contract with May on Friday.

“I am excited to announce that Dusty and I have agreed to a new multi-year contract,” Manuel said in a statement. “His commitment to this University and the success of the men’s basketball program has far exceeded our expectations and makes us all excited for what the future holds. I look forward to Dusty, Anna, and his family remaining a part of the fabric of this University and community for many years to come.”
