Dale Brown had the right group for quite a few seasons.

You missed my point ... the right group for Dale was a bunch of underachievers. He struggled with what to do with the top notch talent (Shaq, CJ, etc). Must suck for those other coaches that Dale was able to get all that talent, while they were left saying "I could have won if I had his team's talent".

And Bobby Knight was a prick who succeeded through intimidation. He wasn't worried in that game because he knew he would eventually get the calls from the refs.

1981 called and said wut???


1981 Final Four team was the best LSU TEAM in our history. If Rudy hadn't injured that finger I still beleieve they would have won it all.


So no, it was underachivers that Dale needed to win, it was just the right amount of stars and gritty players. Kind of like every team in every sport. It's not easy to win.

On the 31 pt comeback vs UK, ya know the funniest thing I took from all of that was Brown's quote of "how in the world did we get up by 31?"...which was true. The end was already near, BBall had lost traction and that team was not good. And it was a great UK team
