Unless you already believe that MSU is going to make the tournament, in which case you'd want them to win as many games as possible in order to make our loss to them look less bad.
I'm not trying to be contrarian, just trying to say that we're in a weird position where things can sometimes swing in either direction. I do understand your point that what matters most is our position relative to other bubble teams. It's just hard to see things as being better now after our loss, even if our overall position might be the same.
