I was there that night..... It was an electric atmosphere. If I remember right, Roland Barbay was on his official visit and got caught up in the excitement of the crowd and committed that night.
So was I.
I had actually talked to Pete Jenkins that afternoon outside the dressing room in Tiger Stadium about some of us having pro-Barbay coming to LSU signs and doing pro-Barbay chants. They worked.

Fact.
Or if you knew one of the ticket-takers, like an older buddy of mine did. The noise, the emotion at the Assembly Center in those days was like a controlled riot
I can imagine it is hard to believe what it was like back then for the younger current crop of students/fans that have to endure the current state of LSU basketball.

86 team was my favorite lsu bball team but my favorite game was lsu vs Arizona in 90 I think. Shaq went crazy. That place was rockin

Lsu basketball ruled in the 80s early 90s. If there would have been a three point line anthony wilson would still hold the record. Although andrew tony from ULL was also a pretty good shot from there also a little shooter named chris jackson!

Hey 1984 Tiger, I bet that I know you. I'll give you a hint, one of your teachers at RHS is my best friend. My sister graduated in the '76 class. That 76 class is still referred as the glamor girl's class.

I didn't go to hoops when I was at LSU, so I didn't know much about the team or their nicknames. DT did tell me they called him PacMan because of his addiction. I didn't start going to hoops until Shaq was there and I was out of school.
Leonard Mitchell is active in the BR community and I believe he has big brother type homes and programs???

There is an update on the recruiting board about David Taylor, who is Derrick's son, being recruited by LSU.
