Record wise the 1966-1967 team was the worst basketball team in LSU history

Don't get me wrong. This edition is horrible. I made my first trip to the PMAC since '04 for the Alabama game two weeks ago. Sad team and atmosphere was just somber.

With that said, the 1966-1967 team was Press Maravich's first team. Remember, freshman were not eligible for varsity play until the 1972-1973 season so young Pete could only play freshman ball.

The team went 3-23 and 1-17 in SEC play. The three wins came against Tampa, a "College Division" team at the time which would be considered Division II today, Tulane and Georgia. The win over Tampa was a two point win on the road after a home season opening loss to Southeastern Louisiana(LSU also lost to Loyola-New Orleans on the road)

Tulane and LSU played home and home each year after the Wave's departure from the SEC through the 1980-1981 season. The two spilt that year each winning at home by 10 points. The lone conference win was over Georgia,87-85.

The largest deficit was a 36 point loss to Texas in Baton Rouge.The highlight of the year may have been a 79-77 loss to ninth ranked Vanderbilt at home. The Tigers closed out the season with a 9 point loss in Nashville to Vandy, ranked #9 still who finished 2nd in the SEC behind Tennessee. The Vols walloped LSU both times 76-59 and 87-60.
