All the Negativity thats in this town Sucks! (Mankato Edition)

The Vikings are done, Timberwolves are horrible, and the Wild are treading water. If you're waiting for those three to come walking through the door with a championship you're going to get grey and old.

Rick Pitino had it right. Stop worrying about what you don't have and look at what you do have.

Minnesota State's mens basketball team is 17-1 is atop the NSIC, and is the 5th ranked DII basketball team in the country.

Coach Matt Margenthaler, now in his 8th season, has continued his tradition of putting a exciting basketball team on the floor.

Minnesota State never seems to re-build, just reload. Players like Jefferson Mason, Travis Nelson, Jermaine Davis, and Jesse Clark, may not be household names, but they bring the tempo, and excitement that fans crave without the price tag they don't.

Also don't forget MSU's Women's Basketball Team. I have only three words to describe them: Defending, National, Champions.

This weekend the Mavericks take on Bemidji State on Friday and the Univeristy of Minnesota - Duluth on Saturday with both womens games starting at 6:00pm, Men at 8:00pm.

Mankato sports fans, don't stay negative about what you don't have. Go down to the Taylor Center this weekend and cheer on what you do.

Outside of Mankato: you have pockets of positivity to hold on to as well. You just need to look for it, even if its a local high school team.
