I disagree. I loved the '81 squad, but I think the 90-91 squad is the most talented team ever to take the court in the PMAC. Neither squad won a title, but I have to give a talent edge to the latter 90-91 Tigers.


Oh, sure, that team was loaded with talent. But as a basketball team, there's no question that the '80-'81 team had it all.

It's also a bit unfair to say that they didn't meet expectations in the postseason. When your All-American breaks a finger on his shooting hand while clinching a Final Four berth, that's a pretty big hurdle to get over.

This. The most exciting LSU basketball team I can remember. Rudy, Astronaut, The Jet, Cookieman, Ethan E. I was in the 'Dome when they beat Wichita State and went to the Final Four. It was also the night Rudy broke his fricking finger. That did it. And forever frick Bobby Knight. He was lucky.
