if State rose to #1 in the polls, then fell apart, wound up unranked and a #8 seed, andgot smoked early in their first round game, Stansbury would get fired.

Polk pulled a similar scenario with the baseball team (ranked #1 then fell apart) & even The Legend couldn't recover from such an embarrassing fiasco.

Though that may be the luckiest run I've ever seen an MSU team on.

They made it to the tournament that year...but got beat by Indiana in the first round.

That was one of the biggest choke jobs Ive seen. Although, they somewhat lucked into the #1 spot when they did.
