I'm with this. 2006 was great, but nothing topped LSU's run in 1986. Beat the 6, 3, 2, and 1 seeds on the way to the Final Four. 2 OT win and a second round buzzer beater, both in Baton Rouge. Then beating Georgia Tech with two NBA all stars in Atlanta, then beating Kentucky with Ricky Blanton getting his roll on. AWESOME.

Anybody who was alive back then knows, I think. What that team went through was incredible. They were down to like 7 or 8 legitimate players. The rest of the team was injured, suspended, quit on them, etc.. Ricky Blanton was a freshman small forward forced to play center. They beat 3, 2 and 1 to get to the Final Four. And the 1 they beat already beat LSU THREE TIMES that year.
In spite of the name and conference, what they did is in my mind much more incredible than what George Mason and VCU did.
