Last postseason W for us was in 08.
We beat LSU in the first round of the SEC tournament

I knew it had been a while...hopefully we end that bad streak today.

This is a game we should win. We split the series, but pretty much gave the game away in Starkville.

Wow, I remember this game... I was a freshman @ USC and was over in Barcelona for spring break visiting my sister as she was studying abroad. I tried to follow the game as best I could online.

Let's take it to the bulldogs tonight! :cocky:

That was a fun game. I was in the pep band that year in the Dome.

The next game vs. Tennessee was one of the most fun basketball games I've been to, even though we lost.

If we would've won, we would've been in Atlanta for the tornado, and I would've been able to see us play our next game in the Georgia Tech arena.
