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.

2 Things will always define the Stansbury Era:
--Baffled by Zone Defenses ,like a mule staring at a new gate
-- Letting 1 hot shooter beat MSU. It was maddening to watch

This is true and we were the favorite in 3 of the round of 32s that we lost. Stans couldn't close out games. He was not a good gameday coach but good off the court. It was so infuriating to see him get out coached consistently. He is too nice of a guy to survive these days in the SEC. I appreciate all he did though and i'd gladly take him crappie fishing.

Williams needed Stansbury to accomplish the runs in 1995 and 1996 though. Outside of those two runs, Williams was a worse postseason coach (especially in the SEC tournament) than Stansbury.
