If I remember correctly we were up by like 10-12
points with about five minutes left and instead of Brown just letting the guys just play ball we go into some kind of stall on offense to use the clock and it just backfired. No doubt if we just continued to go with what was working we win that game.

i always thought the quoot was regarding when we lost to indiana in the final four and knight was asked abuot preparing for LSU BEFORE the game and he said something to the effect of

"After watching tape on LSU i wondered how they managed to lose 5 games...i looked and saw dale brown and knew i had a chance"

I always love the selective memory of those who want to blame the Indiana loss on Brown holding the ball late. I always wonder what those people thought when LSU held the ball against Georgia Tech in the first round that year and won, or when LSU held it against Temple in the second round and won, or when LSU held it late against Depaul in the Sweet 16 and won. Those people don't tend to have a problem with that. Maybe the Indiana loss could as easily be explained by any of the 50 or 60 moving screens Indiana set for Alford that weren't called, or any number of touch falls called against Oliver Brown or Benard Woodside when they tried to fight through those moving screens. Said it before will say it again, the 87 Indiana game was the biggest screw job ever to an LSU team.
