We still beat a 1-seed to get to the Final Four. Who was guarding them when they "forgot how to play basketball?" Who was putting a run on them to turn up the heat? Who was in the press that gave them fits? Who recruited Malachi Richardson? Who coached him all year? If he didn't go nuts, would he still be here? If he was still here this year, think we would have won a few more games and made the tournament?

But, nah, a 1-seed that went undefeated at home and 6-1 on neutral floors prior to that game just forgot how to play basketball and damn if we weren't just the luckiest team ever to happen to be in position to pick up that win.

Sure, it was lucky that Michigan State lost... But we've had our share of bad luck the last several years, too, with the obvious cases being Arinze and Fab. People are so quick to forget about that in evaluating the state of the program, but so quick to remember the good luck to discount SU's accomplishments.
