Great moments in LSU March Madness History

When I was a youngster, I attended the LSU vs. Purdue first round game at the PMAC in 1986. LSU was the 11 seed and Purdue the 6 seed. The Tigers won a double OT thriller with what I can only assume was helped by a big home court advantage. Gene Keady was not to happy with having to play a road game in the NCAA tournament. LSU then upset highly ranked Memphis (State) on a last second shot. Oddly enough, LSU's sweet 16 game was against Georgia Tech in the Omni in Atlanta. Not on their campus, but in the same city. LSU made the Final Four run that year, undoubtedly spurred on by the home court advantage in the first two rounds. I think the NCAA made a rule the next year that a team could not play a NCAA tournament game in their own gym.
