Thank you for watching this video. The 1996 Mississippi St. Bulldogs were one of my favorite NCAA basketball teams so I appreciate your viewership. Thank you so much.
Yeah, I loved Dontae' back then. He was fun to watch. I wish he had a better NBA career. Thank you so much for the comment. I greatly appreciate it and thank you for watching the video.
Darryl Wilson was a beast. I played most of the Mississippi State players in pickup games in the summers while attending Mississippi State. My lowly intramural team wan many championships; shout out to No Fear! 😝 Anyway, Darryl was unstoppable; he was a walking bucket.
Thank you so much Travis for commenting and watching the video. Sorry for replying late. I really enjoyed watching Wilson play even though he had unique shooting form. But I really enjoyed reading your comment. Thanks for posting it. Enjoy the college basketball season.
Great content, I really liked this team as well. I wanted the final to be UMASS vs Mississippi State but unfortunately that didn’t happen and Kentucky won the whole thing in 96. Great Stuff.
Thank you so much. I appreciate the comment so much. UMASS was tough that year. They beat UK earlier in the season. UMASS and MSU would have also been interesting. Thanks again for watching and the comment.
Great video and channel man. Have you thought of doing more College Football teams of the 90's? I noticed you wearing a VT shirt, so those late 90's Hokies defense with Beamer were insane and of course Mike Vick leading the charge for a Natty appearance. I go there for grad school now and I went to Penn State for undergrad and those 90's teams were great too, especially the one that went undefeated and didn't even play for the Natty. Great content, can't wait for more
Typhoon Boom, thank you so much for this awesome comment. It made my day, I have a lot to say to you so here I go: I probably should do more college football in the 90s, but I get dinged for copyright claims. For some reason, the footage from college football is tough to proceed with. I would love to do a Nebraska history in the 90s as they seemed unstoppable to me and do a video on one of my favorite college football players - Michael Bishop (by the way what college football players did you like in the 90s). Next, I became a Virginia Tech fan during their 93 season and against Indiana in the Independence Bowl, because I really liked their maroon and neon orange color scheme. I know that is a weird reason to like a team. (What college football teams did you like?). Then, in the mid-late 90s, CBS had the SEC games and the Big East games, and I used to love watching VT play Syracuse and Miami before Vick came in '99. But I loved watching the Hokies in '99. Unfortunately, they could not stop Chris Weinke and FSU in the 4th quarter. But please tell what teams and players you liked in the 90s. I am so thankful that you like the content. Be safe out there and take care.
@@90sSportsNostalgia Appreciate the words man, yeah that is hard with copyright strikes and claims. As far as college football goes, I feel as though anything would be great, huge college football fan and Nebraska is a good point too. Florida State, Tennessee, Michigan, VT would all be good studies imo.
Dontae' was one of my favorite players of all-time. That's cool your cousin is Dontae' Jones. Thanks for watching the video and thanks for the comment.
Thanks a lot for the comment. I greatly appreciate it. The 1996 MSU Final Four was not taken away. You scared me for a moment thinking if I missed something but the Final Four banner is still in the rafters. The '96 UMASS Final Four was taken away....PG Marcus Bullard did not play a good game and turned the ball over a lot that game and so did other Bulldogs. Turnovers killed MSU. Thanks again for the comment. Take care and be safe.
Thank you so much for the comment. I greatly appreciate and thank you for watching the video. But I apologize but I don't understand what you are talking about with your comment.
Dontae Jones was NICEEE in college...wish he woulda had a longer career in the NBA. I think he got picked by the wrong team where he could just play freely and get more minutes like how he did in college
Thank you so much for your comment. I greatly appreciate it. I agree with you so much. Dontae' was NICEEE. I was such a huge fan of his in college. I too wish he had a better career in the NBA. Thank you so much for watching the video. It was one of my favorites to make because I enjoyed watching that '96 MSU team so much.
@@90sSportsNostalgia np...i think it's all about the right team choosing the player and the coach. Steve Francis is a player that comes to mind with that theory. He came in at the right time as Dream & Barkley were on their last legs and Rudy just gave him the green light
This team wasn't even ranked at the end of the regular season, wasn't on TV very often and was considered a nondescript 8-9 seed most of the year in Bracketology. But they sure earned that Final Four trip, convincingly beating 3 of the Top 7 ranked teams in the span of 5 games. They, like a lot of teams in the NCAA Tournament over the years, fell victim to having never faced the Syracuse zone before in the Final Four.
Thank you so much for the comment. I enjoyed reading it. I was a Temple fan back in the day, and conversely from Syracuse, Temple had some tough or surprising losses in the tournament with some teams getting hot with against their matchup zone defense. Thanks again, enjoy the holidays and be safe.
Great video. I was a recent MSU grad back then and went to the Final Four. Still trying to reconcile all the turnovers Bullard had against the zone. Darryl Wilson is my all time favorite college player and that team will NEVER be forgotten by me...
Awesome comment. I enjoyed reading it and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It means a lot to me. I loved that MSU team. Darryl Wilson and his unique shooting style. He was fun to watch. Thanks for watching the video.
Thank you for your comment. I greatly appreciate. I enjoyed watching this Miss. St. team so much. When March comes around, I think about this team a lot. Thank you so much and take care.
@@TheBobbyBlack_615 Thank you so much for telling me that. Great to know he is doing well. I absolutely loved him as MSU. Especially vs. Kentucky and in the NCAA Tournament. But also, I hope all is well with you and you yourself is also doing great. Have a great weekend.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs Men's Basketball team should've never been considered forgotten back in the year of 1996. Despite the fact that this college basketball team were not considered as the high ranked top team, to me personally, the Bulldogs were the best talented group in the history of the National Collegiate Athletic Association(NCAA). The University of Mississippi State Bulldogs Men's Basketball Team in the year of 1996 should never been counted out as doubtful nor they should've never been considered forgotten despite that they great college players in Erick Dampier, Dontae' Jones, Russell Walters, and Daniel Wilson🎉. They had a great run competing against the top college basketball teams like the University of Kentucky Wildcats, Connecticut Huskies, and the University of Syracuse Orangemen.
@@90sSportsNostalgiaYou're Welcome! Mississippi State Bulldogs back in the year of 1996 should've won the Final Four NCAA tournament against the Syracuse Orangemen despite not being in the rankings before the tournament started.
Delk was such a smooth player on the perimeter in college and with the Kings. I forgot how many 3's he hit but you're correct, seven 3-pointers made. Thanks for commenting about that. Strangely, he went 1-8 from inside the arc during that game (after checking the box score). But like you said, Delk was huge for UK during that game vs. Syracuse. Thank you so much for the comment and watching the video.
Great job Sir. Sat in my seat in the Meadowlands crying during the Kentucky-UMASS game because I knew that would be our best chance to win the National Championship. Make no mistake... KY didn't want to play State again.... Thanks again... Great memories from NYC for the week of my 33rd birthday....
Thank you so much for the comment and the kind words. I greatly appreciate it and I enjoyed reading your comment. I understand the end results are not what you wanted but that's great you went to a Final Four. I never got the chance to go to one. Thanks again for the comment and enjoy the tournament.
Went to all of State's ncaa tournament games that season. After the loss to Syracuse, I gave my ticket to a friend who lived in NYC. The stay in Manhattan was nice otherwise, nice town.
I am so jealous of you. That Bulldogs team was so incredible from my point of view. I would have loved to have seen all of those tourney games. That UCONN game would have been fun to have seen in person. Thanks for watching the video. Much love to Mississippi State.
I had to check but that was the year after Majerus left for Utah. Those Cards were tough in the late 80s and early 90s. I never thought I would get a 1990 Ball State Cardinals comment. That was great. Thanks again.
That Kentucky team which is one of the 3 best teams ive ever witnessed wouldve benefited the most from miss st. Making the finals because they would've avenged Both losses on the the season in the 2 biggest games of the season and had a very valid claim of the greatest team ever because technically they would've be a every team they faced th a year!
Jill, thank you so much for your comment. I apologize greatly about replying to your comment late (about 5 days). I like your comment a lot. I never thought about it, that UK possibly would have had an opportunity to accomplish a unique feat by avenging their only two losses in the tournament. Great comment. You said the '96 Kentucky teams is one of the 3 best teams you ever witnessed. Who were the other 2? Thanks again and take care.
