I was at the game in the Dome when Ricky Blanton made the buzzer beater to beat Georgetown. I mean the Dome was rocking.

I doubt LSU basketball would draw 6,000 in the Dome today vs the 60,000+ back then.

As a kid, LSU basketball was bigger than football (for me).

I remember being so pumped about Randy Livingston. Dude was supposed to be better than Jason Kidd. And Ronnie Henderson...Damn that team could have been legit.

Livingston started off awesome and was leading the nation in assists per game even with a rehabbed knee. The team was rolling and then he broke his kneecap. He would've been awesome. I saw him in high school at Newman playing in the Dome. It was him and four white kids who were mostly pretty bad (no offense to them) and the other team still couldn't stop him. His passes were awesome, but he had a burst and aggressiveness that other players couldn't keep up with. He left people in the dust. He could jump out the gym and shoot too.
