I am glad we were not a Baseball school until Stanley Skip Bertman thought otherwise. If you say we will Never be this or that. You are right. If you say it is possible and doable, you are also right. choose.

False. We have plenty of potential in basketball. We are the school that produced Shaq, Chris Jackson, Pete Maravich, and Bob petit just to name a few. LSU has plenty of ability to be great and we have had great teams. Other schools such as florida texas are good in all three just as we should be. I dont expect our basketball team to play to the level of our football or baseball team but there is plenty of talent in Louisiana that gets away from us (greg monroe, tweety carter, lacedarius dunn, martin zeno to name a few) and plenty of history at our school that we should perennially be in the tourney and make a run every so often.

We were definitely a football then basketball school for quite some time.
LSU held the record for the largest crowd to see a college basketball game for many years. They still have the 2nd, 3rd and 4th largest crowds ever to see a game and their 68,000+ record that stood for many years is still bigger than anything in NBA history as well. That's unbelievable.
And the Deaf Dome was one of the most exciting places in college basketball for many years. Dick Vitale used to have it in his top 10 for best atmospheres.
So right now it's pretty lame, but in the past LSU basketball was much bigger than baseball (which I love as well). But winning consistently in big fashion tends to bring more interest. Still, I'd never say we'll never be a basketball school because it used to be crazy.
