Highest LSU bb seed ever?

That would be a #1 seed in 2006...but that was the Lady Tiger Basketball team.






























Oh and the men were a #1 in 1981.

#1 in 81. Bob Knight owned Dale Brown in the Final 4.

We led that game at the half but Dale kept the team in the locker room so long at half they did not come back on the court in time to warm up for the second half. I've always wondered if that made a diffrence as we couldn't hit the broadside of a barn in that second half.

Gave a much better account of ourselves with a team that had no business within 10 points of Indiana in '87. Dale had a hand in that loss too, but Knight's intimidation of the officials had as much.

LSU in the Final Four = tOSU against the SEC in bowl games....

I was at the LSU/Indiana game in Philly in '81
and it was like two different teams. They were so hot the first half and came out the second half like someone had taken over their bodies. It was so sad.

Bob Knight owned Dale Brown in the Final 4.

That would be the same final four game that we led at half despite our star player having a nearly non-usable shooting hand?

The only thing Bob Knight owned was a declasse disposition and a big mouth. Knight made a career of stacking officiating and then claiming he was a great strategist. He was a low-class prick of a human being.

Anyway the travesty of the 1981 tourney was the performance of Dean Smith's team, not LSU.

My favorite Dale Brown moment was when he threw his coat down at center court (Bama, UK ~ can't remember where) and told the refs they might as well take his coat because they took the game from us. Anyone remember that infamous game?

Lexington at the old Memorial Coliseum in 1975.This was one of the early moments in Dale's career when he solidified himself as a colorful,if not infamous character.

In Dale's post game press conference he went on and on about Kentucky's rough if not dirty play. They did have some big ,rough guys on that team, Rick Robey ,Mike Phillips and Bob Guyette to name a few. Billy Reed of the Louisville Courier-Journal asked Dale if LSU's players were all clean players who never cause any unnecessary fouls or injury.

Dale responded with "Let me ask you something. Have you ever masturbated ?" Needless to say the basketball media didn't care for Dale too much after that gem.

What was the Shaq/Chris Jackson's team highest seed?

Now that is funny. I've never heard about that quote.
