That '96 SEC final was one of the best wins State has ever had. Sadly, we didn't have a rematch for the NC.Every game is a must win.
There is no such thing as a good loss.

The exception that proves the rule being Kentucky losing to State in the ‘96 SEC tournament finals.
Maybe the team just wasn't ready after the huge games the weekend before, but Boeheim outcoached Richard Williams, big time.That '96 SEC final was one of the best wins State has ever had. Sadly, we didn't have a rematch for the NC.
It is definitely a must win because we cannot afford a bad loss to end the season. A win doesnt improve anything but a loss does hurt
The sec tournament is a must win. We must be cutting down the nets.With our NET dropping to 44? It may drop again with a win. Losing could knock us out.

It was a great time to be a student at MSU. Roommates and I had already made reservations in NOLA for spring break weekend and just happened to be checking in on championship Sunday. Checked with the hotel valet and were able to get tix to the game for just a few bucks.That '96 SEC final was one of the best wins State has ever had. Sadly, we didn't have a rematch for the NC.
Coach Williams had moved on to something else.Just a few months later in November, Whit, Bart and company (through no fault of their own) were getting their butts handed to them by Tim Duncan and Wake Forest and the magic was over.
And it’s undefeated.Coach Williams had moved on to something else.
If we beat Vandy. We are in as a 9 or 10. Don't sweat it. The bubble is not packed this yr. Not many bid stealers either due to only a couple of mid majors strong enough to get in without winning their conf tourny.People here are way too optimistic about a team with a NET in the 40s and goes 8-10 in the SEC and 1-1 in the SEC Tournament.
As of right now, the consensus is that we're one of the last 4 in. Adding a semi-bad loss (not an awful one, but to a team that's not even on the fringe of discussion for the Tournament) and no real boost in SEC Tournament is going to make our resume weaker. And the current projections assume 0 bid-stealers, while it's fairly likely there will be at least 1 and possibly more.
We desperately need to win Saturday and give ourselves some breathing room. And even then, if we lose to Vanderbilt or Auburn next Thursday, I'm still sweating all weekend.
You are an idiot. Was it Richard’s fault that everything we made the prior 3 weeks didn’t fall? Was it Richard’s fault that Bullard had 33 turnovers to pay off drug dealers that had bet with the Mob? Get your stupid *** comment the **** out of here. U sound just like the lady on my bus headed back to the hotel in NYC that said we will be back here next year because Bart Hyche is best shooter on the team. I told her then she was the most stupid State fan I had ever heard… and in all my days….. I have heard a lot.Maybe the team just wasn't ready after the huge games the weekend before, but Boeheim outcoached Richard Williams, big time.
Several unforced turnovers that could have made the difference. During warm ups he kept licking his lips and acted funny. Very unlike previous games.Bullard
