re: Favorite lsu team that did not win a championship

1980-1981 Hoops Tigers, the PMAC was packed, and rocking, ole Red was a human boombox, preseason Top 5 team and absolutely looked the Vitale 'All Airport Team' coming off the bus with 7 footers and plenty of big men, Tigs won 26 in a row, won the first 17 in SEC play, then were hosed by the refs in SEC finale at the end to help protect Kentucky's best SEC regular season mark(as the recently expanded schedule would have had LSU's perfect season eclipse some of Ky's perfectos in shorter seasons?)..

The win vs UNLV and Tark, rolling in league play 17-0 start, the two big wins in the Dome to go to the Final Four vs Eddie Sutton and Joe Kleine's Arkansas(to avenge season's second game loss in Alaska) then beating Antionne Carr and Cliff Levingston's Wichita State Shockers.

Rudy broke his finger in Final Four clincher, LSU was Vegas co-chalk with Indiana heading into Philly..heartbreak ensued.

There was also a shoving match between an Three-Time Natty winning HC vs Two-Time WSOP bracelet winner that weekend..but that's another story.
