Has to be the biggest win in MSU Men's Basketball history.

I was there and despite being on about, 3 hours of sleep in 30 hours we were rocking. The KY fans were cheering for us which was weird. I sold my student ID for $150 and immediately reported it lost. Rode back to Starkville without sleeping and HD6 stood in line for my Final Four tickets because I was so exhausted from 5 hours of sleep in 72 hours.

I was there! Seats in the rafters but it was great! Had a 3 car caravan full of friends that drove up from Stark. We even managed to get a little horse racing in at Keeneland.

i was there and will never forget the feeling.

I was there and honestly, watching Ray Allen miss all those shots the game before was nice. He was off but you could tell he was NBA material, no doubt.

I also remember seeing Stephon Marubury play and man he was great as well.

We beat a #1 and #2 seed back to back, and I remember hearing the MSU campus went a little crazy after that.

I was there too. Besides your favorite Bulldogs, you had the following lineup in Rupp that weekend:

1. Ray Allen
2. Stephon Marbury
3. James Worthy (working for CBS)
4. Oscar Robertson (cheering for Cincy)

Danny Fortson too

Then I had to go see the dean of students about you using my ID. Good times, 10 out 10 would do again.

I'd say it's the biggest win in MSU Men's basketball history, and in the top three wins in any sport, along with the women's win over UCONN and the Auburn Football win in 2014. As an aside, I watched that game at home on TV. I watched the regional semi against UCONN and Ray Allen at a sports bar in the Atlanta suburb of Dunwoody. I was there for a professional meeting. There were about thirty of us from MSU, a mixture of local residents and people in for the meeting...and one extremely loudmouthed and obnoxious UCONN fan. It was FUN!

I was there!

I was also in class in Jackson the next day. We drove through the night. Got home in time for a shower and went straight to school.

Love the enthusiasm, but 6-3 cannot be left off any MSU biggest win list. It's a legal obligation.

Richard Williams, for all the crap he took, he and his staff had a great game plan for that game vs. UCONN. I think Ray was guarding Darryl Wilson and they ran Darryl off a million screens. Ray Allen took a beating trying to get through screens and guard Super D. By the end of the 2nd half, Allen was spent.

I lived in Knoxville and my roommate and I drove up from there for the Cincy game (met up with NugDawg and DawgatAuburn). Hearing all of those Kentucky fans chanting "SEC" was pretty cool. And will never forget the charge Whit Hughes took and Bart Hyche getting down on the floor with him.
