Since today is mostly about how bad we are I thought I'd post my best MSU basketball memories, some I was at and some I wasn't but I was alive and able to remember all of them. I missed the Babe years by a couple of years on actually being alive. These are in no particular order.
Being there to see us win the 1991 SEC title. The only MSU game I have ever been at that rivaled the atmosphere at that game was 2014 Auburn football.
Watching Richard Williams break the colts (and esp. Basketball Jones) in 1996 and mold perhaps the best MSU team in any sport in my lifetime.
Jeff Malone's shot.
Coming from WAY down to win the SEC on Bama's floor. What made that extra special was the REAL rivalry we had with Bama on the court back then.
Darryl Wilson's shot.
Brandon Vincent at the point in the zone.
Cameron Burns (a less than 50% free throw man) making two with no time left to send the game to OT against the Rebs. We eventually won the game.
Greg Carter's effort every night out.
Chuckie Evens playing point guard.
Donte Jones when he figured it out.
Being the only MSU season ticket holder with about 30 MSU people and one loud obnoxious UConn fan watching us beat UConn in a sports bar in Dunwoody on the way to the Final Four.
Swat getting the record.
The whole run to the Final Four.
Watching Lawrence Roberts play.
Whit Hughes and Russell Walters setting screens.
Mackie White!
Bob Boyd beating a Top 10 Kentucky team by going to the four corners.
Making fun of the fat guy when Auburn came to town when I was a student. THAT guy shut us up pretty quick. You might have heard of him maybe, I think his name was Charles something.
Fouling out three guys and having three more (many of them who usually didn't play much) with 4 fouls guarding and BEATING Shaq in Baton Rouge.
Beating Ole Miss in FOUR OT's.
Jamont Gordon's INSANE pass to Charles Rhodes for a dunk.
Wimp Sanderson's face every time he came to the Hump.
Georgia's Hugh Green turning a one point MSU lead with 4 seconds left into a 8 point MSU victory.
Going to all those many games for over 20 years as a season ticket holder with my late Dad.
Hit him the mouth Carl!
The big guy yelling at the refs behind the south basket.
The roar of a packed out Hump during a big game.
That huge comeback against Florida.
What's the matter Scotty? Lose it in your DRESS?
The Road Warriors.
Eric Dampier OWNING the lane on defense.
There are many more but those are just few off the top of my head.
