However, while Memorial was indeed magical on Senior Night, tonight belongs to Shan Foster.
42 points, including nine straight three-pointers down the stretch, including the winning 3 with 2.7 seconds to play in OT.
(25) MISS ST 85
(16) VANDY 86
FINAL
Won every non-conference game. Won every home game. 25-5 with only a trip to Tuscaloosa before the SEC tournament tips off next week. Our ticket to the tournament is punched…now we’re just playing to get into first class. =)
DYNAMITE GO VU!!!
EDIT: Had to include the extended quote from Mississippi State head coach Rick Stansbury:
“You can’t say anything else about it. He jumped up in a stressful situation and made shots. Absolutely nothing else I would have done different, and absolutely nothing else I could have done. He jumped up and made 30-footers with someone in his face. He jumped up in those situations and made shots. It was him. Forty-two points.”
You can almost see him shaking his head.
