Unfortunately the game has changed which is why it may never get like it was back when Dale Brown was coaching... The NBA has a little bit of the blame for taking talent away too early from College ranks.
The Economy hurts crowds also, people saving money because of high Gas prices, etc....
I think that the PMAC could be rocking again, but not like when Dale Brown was there for most of the games.... There may be a game or two that brings in the crowd, but not a season unfortunately....

AMEN!
The Assembly Center was LOUD and intimidating back then just like Tiger Stadium. Plus we were thought of as adults then and could legally consume adult beverages on campus. Glad I was there then.

Absolute Truth. The Loyola Marymount game was surreal. I think it was Foot Locker that advertised a shoe discount for every point LSU scored over 100. LSU racked up 148
, so 48% off merchandise in store. I think other stores advertised specials like this as well. Shaq and Chris Jackson....
Before that: High C. (Howard Carter) and Ricky Blanton.

I was not there in person, but the energy level of these games came thru to the TV viewers....
specially the Memphis St and Loyola M games..

You got that right..There was so much talent on those Shaq, Chris Jackson teams. I look back now and am amazed that those teams did not win a title...

Dale Brown was a mediocre coach that could recruit great talent. Sorry, but Dale had the talent to win it all. Do you know about the famous quote that was said by Bobby Knight when LSU was leading Indiana? His statement summed up what Dale Brown really was when he coached. Dale was a fantastic motivator that put LSU on the national scene.
