Since Willie Sims passed last week, I'll mention this one.
I think back to a game vs Kentucky. I don't think LSU had ever beaten Ky until this game. We had staid close and the game had gone into overtime. If my memory is correct, our starting five had fouled out. With Sims carrying the team, LSU won with our second team in overtime.

2. 2018 Tennessee game in the PMAC.

3. 2006 Sweet 16 win over Duke who was the overall #1 seed in the NCAA Ty.

I didn't realize he had passed last week. He was one of my favorites. The "Super Sub" jersey number 10. He was amazing to watch. (Hell, all of that 1980 team was.)

Very sad to learn of his passing.

LSU had beaten Kentucky, once. That was in 1972 during the opening season of the PMAC. Kentucky came in ranked about #3 or #4 and LSU was in the throws of a 10-16 season which led to the firing of Pete's dad. Nevertheless, we somehow beat the pants off the Cats, by 17 points.
