Inspiration:  While finishing up this playlist, I was watching the MSU Spartans battle the Texas Tech Red Raiders for chance to take the NCAA title this Monday.  Tough game to watch in the final seconds after State made a huge comeback halfway through the 2nd half.  Congrats to the Red Raiders for the victory…Congrats to the Spartans for some great teamwork and sportsmanship…another trip to a spot in the Final Four!
