"Lets get Silly in Philly"?- What a awesome year. Sweet 16/Final 8 in the Dome, best LSU basketball team EVER

chicken pox?- Man that season was just incredible and crazy all at the same time.

Tito Horford?- I still have the SI cover with Daddy Dale and the headline "Crazy Days at LSU"

last second superdome Gtown win?- what was that runt's name who made the shot? Russell something? or am I confused?

LMU game?- The damn machine that kept score blew up that game was so hot

beating UK when it counted?- Many times but I will never forget the 30 point beatdown LSU put on them in Rupp. Still the worse home defeat for UK I think.

Anothony Wilsons falling down bucket at buzzer?- Beat Memphis and the crook Dana Kirk lol

Freak Defense?- Talk of the NATION

big time tourny games vs Temple,Gtech,Indy,etc etc etc?- SI would always put the Tigers in the dangerous categories those years and they would make a run, what great memories!!

final 4 in dallas?- Never Nervous Pervis got us- jerk

Knight phone slam? Intimidation will always be the reason IU won that game IMHO. LSU got no calls after Knight blew up, what a total fraud

cj vs glass? both scored 50. The Fla game CJ's freshman year was the national coming out party- schooled them at UF

Shaq breaking goal? jumping over slu guys head on dunk? One More Year!!!! but he didnt come back lol

Kidd at buzzer? weazel
Gtown loss at buzzer? heartbreaker
dominated by David Robinson and Navy? total domination

Great memories tiger4life

CJ against Gerald "World Class" Glass was awesome to watch. Two of the best shooters in college basketball back in the day. What about the 30 point lead we blew to Kentucky?? Ronnie Henderson was carrying us that night

The runts name was Ricky Blanton. Put back on a Chris Jackson miss when time ran out. I believe he had to guard either Mourning or maybe Ewing.

Mourning was pissy because they were hyping CJ and he was only a frosh .

What game was it that the walk-on hit a shot at the buzzer to win? Ricky Blanton was no runt.

I've seen a lot of exciting plays over the years, probably the most exciting one I've seen is Ross Neltner's tip-in at the buzzer.

Make that double OT. The PMAC was rocking that night. Except I guess then it was just the Assembly Center.

How about Kenny "Sky" Walker being shut down totally by Jerry Renyolds with Daddy Dale's box and one defense.

And one of my all time favorites, freshman Dennis Brown's slam dunk over Dirk Minnefield on national television. Al Maguire went crazy exclaiming "where does Dale Brown get these guys"

I remember. Those were my years at LSU. Hopefully we'll get back to having a very respectable basketball program that's in the Dance every year.

I remember this so vividly...Dale was micced and basically this situation proved once and for all that Dale was never a good game coach.
Great recruiter, awesome motivator, televangelist, etc but not a good situational coach.
