Wade’s games haven’t been as memorable as Dale’s games yet, but he’s getting there

Some fans will may never appreciate how exciting Dale’s games at LSU were. You know it’s memorable when you can remember almost every detail. The UNLV game, a highly ranked opponent on national tv, and the student section was hollering “show your tits” to the UNLV cheerleaders, a game LSU won in the last seconds.
Or Chris Jackson scoring 53 at Fla and beating a very good Georgetown team while getting double and triple teamed at half court in the SuperDome, almost single handedly leading LSU to victories. Or Dale Brown expressing his anger at SEC refs by throwing his jacket on the floor at Kentucky and covering up their emblem at mid court. SEC refs were notoriously favorable to Kentucky. Or the Loyola M game where they both scored like two NBA teams. Or losing to Kentucky three times then beating them to advance in the NCAA tournament. Dale’s LSU teams beat so many great Kentucky teams, that he lived rent free in the heads of their fan base. You could be leaving the Maravich Assembly Center and hear Kentucky fans mumbling Dale Browns name.
It was fan-tastic. Watched so many of Dale’s players like Shaq dominate a game, but it was Chris Jackson whom Sports Illustrated dubbed the next Pistol Pete, that truly lit up the scoreboard and crowd. Shaq was dominant but frustrated fans with missed free throws. Chris could do no wrong in any game, he was that great in college.

We actually lost to Kentucky 3 times that year before beating them in the regional finals in Atlanta. That was the 4th time we played them that year (twice regular season and SEC Tournament). Just being your fact checker and editor baw, otherwise solid post

How many of those memories you mention were in Dale's first four years? I would say maybe the one about him throwing his jacket in Lexington cause we were getting blown out, but i'm not sure what year that was.
But I would say the tip-in at the buzzer to beat KY in Lexington, Waters buzzer beater in College station and Waters layup to beat Maryland and advance to the Sweet Sixteen were all pretty memorable to me.

I randomly watched the Bigby-Williams tip vs UK and Tremont's last second layup vs Maryland last night.

Are you freaking shutting with this bullshite as novel post? You can’t possibly try to compare ANY ATHLETIC event from today to that period of time. Why? Entitled arse fans and athletes. This is about a social event and not the fricking thing it should be - a game where FANS ARE frickING ENGAGED ESPECIALLY THE STUDENTS.
I had MBB season tickets from 1980-1992. It was awesome. I attended nearly every game. Went to the elite 8 tournament at the Superdome in 1981 and Philly final 4. You know what? During the Christmas break they SOLD STUDENT SECTION SEATS AFTER THE GAME STARTED BECAUSE NO ASSES WERE IN THE SEATS DURING THAT SEASON!
Believe me, the experience you are writing about has nothing to do with the head coach. It is about the fricking fan experience.

The man could really schedule. I remember as a kid being so pumped to watch us play UNLV or Georgetown or North Carolina. Wade is a master at scheduling but especially with all the negative pub we’re getting now I’d love to see him pull a North Carolina or Indiana or UCLA game. These teams are ripe for beat downs and would really help to get more fans to come and enjoy LSUs rise through college basketball.

Some fans are way too impatient, and unreasonable.

That’s cool. But don’t think I’ll ever forgive/forget 31-pt blown lead.

When did this happen?

Chris never scored 65, I think he scored 53 that night....
Anyway, very impressive for a freshman on the road in first SEC game.
YES, GOOD MEMORIES

No mention of the 1978 Kentucky game. LSU was the last team to beat the National Champions that year. All five starters had fouled out but LSU was not to be denied that day.

Ok Dale Brown didn’t truly kick it into another gear with the program until his 7th year or so. Can we just give Will Wade more time? He’s building a legit title contending program here, and we can’t have too many memories this year due to the Covid bullshite.

Yes, who can forget going into the 4 corners stall in Philadelphia once Isiah Thomas went to the bench with three fouls. We should have put the hammer down on them. I was there and could not believe the stupidity. I appreciated him for getting LSU back in bball, but his game coaching was abysmal.

Naw. Dale’s teams were awesome. The crowds were better and the basketball better. More low post action and less of the 3 point pussy shots.

I do remember one dale Brown game in the pmac I would like to forget that I saw in person. Was in the 87 or 88 season I think. We were playing Georgia and we were up by one with one second on the clock and we had the ball to inbound it into play at the end line in the Georgia end of the court....and we lost the game. I don’t remember who from LSU was inbounding the ball but they threw it to the LSU end of the court where no one was. Since no one touched it no time ran off of the clock. Georgia gained possession and inbounded to a cat whose last name was Anderson and he sank a shot from the corner to win it. Damn that was hard to watch.
