MSU and Bama had a great basketball rivalry in the early to mid 2000s. Stansbury and Gottfried hated each other and really had some great teams go at it. The basketball rivalry has gone away some as both teams have struggled the past few years but both teams seem to be coming back. This years games should be great. Looking forward to them.
Imagine this team for State C.Jarvis Varnado PF.Lawrence Roberts SF.Winsome Frazier SG.Jamont Gordon PG.Timmy Bowers Bench: Charles Rhodes Dee Bost Mario Austin Shane Power Barry Stewart Kodi Augustus Derrick Zimmerman Barry Stewart Only used guys from the 2000's
Bama fan here. I was at this game. Terrible, and heartbreaking, especially with Pettway stepping out of bounds during the final seconds. Things turned out okay though, as Bama made it to the Elite 8 and was the last SEC team still playing! State and Bama had some great games during the early 2000's. State was amazing that year and we were lucky to steal one from you guys in Starkville a few weeks earlier. Winning this one would have been icing on the cake!
I remember watching this game in a bar in New York with some other MSU alums and a group of Alabama folks. They gave us hell during the first half, but man did we go nuts after Bowers and the Dogs pulled out the victory.
This reminds me of the state basketball team now!!HAIL STATE!!!!

A real classic! Bulldogs showed heart of a champion and the reason we were called the "Road Warriors" that year. I miss the "Glory Days".
