Before I go kick a damn hole through the wall let me say congrats to Bark. Obviously I didn't see the game and the babblin beaver makes it impossible to imagine what happend, therefore I can't comment much further.

The "Bumbling Eastern European"--Michael Ignerski--hit a 3 pointer for MSU late in OT and Tenn failed to answer @ the end.

I say "Bumbling Eastern European" because he almost singlehandedly lost the UManning game for us with a long litany of travels, throw aways and missed free throws ...

Actually, Tenn had a golden opportunity to win at the end of regulation after MSU turned the ball over to Tenn with about 9 seconds to go but Tenn couldn't cash it in....hence the OT.

Anyway, Tenn has some great athletes and how they keep losing the close one's has to be a frustrating mystery.

Not to worry; MSU goes to Bama Sat. where they will be brought back down to earth in a hurry.

It seems MSU and Tenn play in the SEC tourney every yr and I feel this yr will be no exception.

I feel on a neutral court Tenn would have the advantage.
