I thought we lost to Xavier as the #2 seed, and Butler was a 5/12 game.

Oh well, memories fade thank goodness. Except the memory of Butler players dancing on the scorers table after that game

Butler was a first round 5/12 game in 2003, and Xavier was a second round 2/7 game or something like that in 2004. At least I think that's correct. I've slept a few times since then.

The Butler game was a particular kick to the nuts because we scored less than 50 points and only lost by 1. They zoned the hell out of us and slowed the game down.

Zone defenses were Stansbury kryptonite in those days.

FUN FACT: for all his accomplishments at State, Rick Stansbury never took a MSU team to the sweet sixteen as a head coach. He did get there on Richard Williams' coattails however.
