How old are you? LSU has had just as much if not more exposure back in the days of Shaq, Roberts and Jackson. I was not alive during Pistol's years but Pistol far and away had more exposure back in his day than Ben. Pistol would run circles around Simmons. That is no disrespect toward Ben, Pete was that fricking good....and btw...Shaq's teams would blow out this team with ease. This years team plays no defense and sometimes run a offense that high school teams run. At least Shaq's team made NCAA tourneys.

In regards to LSU exposure, I used to go watch Shaq play....but back then you didn't have 5 or more college BB games on TV every night. Just about every time I turn on BB now they always talk about LSU. We are 12-7 and all the announcers are in love with us.
NOW LET'S MAKE IT TO THE DANCE!!

quote:There wasn't much exposure for them back then either. They weren't that special relatively speaking. The matchup with Loyola was great, but they didn't really have exposure and there were several teams that were just better. UNLV, Georgetown, Arky and Duke were the programs with all the exposure. There was a lot of excitement and energy at the LSU games but not with the media.

You should think before you post. The only teams back then they were getting exposure with the blue bloods. With ESPN and all of that now a days we are getting way more exposure than ever. It's just the way it is with technology now.

Pete didn't play defense in general and damn sure wouldn't stop 6'10'' Simmons.

Ben Simmons is really, really good! Pistol Pete was really, really great!
