During the Final Four era of Dale Brown, we would beat everybody but Kentucky. And they had a New Orleans player Rick Roby who spurned LSU. Then we finally beat them like 88-86 one time and went on to the Final Four. I saw a Roby game once at B.R.. It was late 70's or early 80's. Kentucky was the team to beat then. Florida was good. We were usually 2nd or 3rd in the conference and progressed in the tournament often.

What's the series record? I'm sure it's not pretty.

This is untrue. We had trouble in the Robey/Philips twin towers era, but we did beat them in the starter foul out game. During Dale's hay day, we swept or split with them nearly every year.
