Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. After slogging through the brutal Wisconsin-Purdue Elite Eight game, I remember watching this Iowa State versus Michigan State contest with great anticipation. While rooting for Michigan State, I was very impressed with the Cyclones, which led by double digits at halftime at a partisan The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Ultimately, Michigan State would rally in the second half to get back to the Final Four. I'll never forget Iowa State Head Coach Larry Eustachy losing his mind at the end of this game, getting T'd up and ejected, with backup big Paul Shirley crying on the bench. While happy to see Michigan State advance, this Iowa State team was quite amazing. I was so excited a few months later when the Bulls drafted Marcus Fizer, though it didn't work out for him in Chicago. Still, the thought of a front line of Fizer and Elton Brand had me excited.
