Looked like some incredible times at PMAC. Also some brutal losses.

I grew up at LSU during this time, and just before, in the heyday of LSU basketball. It was incredible. I remember skipping class and sitting on the ramps at the PMAC to get into the first row of the student section.

And I'll say this, I had grown tired of Dale Brown losing big games in the tournament, and questioned his coaching ability. But through circumstances, got to know a bit about him much later. He is as genuine IRL as shown on that show. What people don't know is that he keeps in touch with everyone that played for him, religiously, even the scrubs. And he has done some amazing things behind the scenes to help players and families, and never tries to do it in the public eye to get credit.
