MSU's basketball team made the Final Four for the third straight year.  They had a great season but fell short of repeating the national championship.

The Hockey team was in the Frozen Four and lost in the semifinal round to last years national champion, North Dakota, by a score of 2-0.  Boston College won the championship.  Earlier in the season Marcia and I went to the MSU - Boston College game and MSU won 4-0.
