I was talking with Scott recently and he mentioned that he was not alive when we won in 79 so this is a great opportunity for all the more recent grads to see what got basketball at MSU rolling. It will be good for me to refresh my foggy memory of the actual game also. School was on spring break when the game was played but the dorms were open. I had a keg in my Holden Hall dorm room and combined with the mass party on Grand River after, some of the details are faded.
