Yep. I think LSU lost to Georiga due to a John Williams' errant full court pass that went out of bounds, and Georgia hit the subsequent winning shot. I remember LSU had a lot of players out sick.

Yep, chicken pox hit half of the team. That's why Blanton was moved to center. I can't remember if it was 85 or 86, but one of those years big John through an in bounds pass against Georgia across the court without anyone touching it. I think there was 1-2 seconds on the clock. Georgia got to inbound under their basket They scored and won the game. It was the craziest ending I have ever seen.

Lsu basketball ruled in the 80s early 90s. If there would have been a three point line anthony wilson would still hold the record. Although andrew tony from ULL was also a pretty good shot from there also a little shooter named chris jackson!
