re: On this date in 1981 LSU played in the last ever NCAA Basketball Consolation Game

They were destroying teams that year even in the tourney. I think the closest game up until the Indiana game was against Wichita State and that was not even that close.

I remember watching the Lamar game and Willie Sims scored something like 32-33 points. I actually went to the Mid West regionals in the dome and watched them go in dry on Arkansas who had beaten them earlier in the year
