A former player, a starter, under Brown used to tell this story whenever this discussion came up: "we would practice the last second shot over and over at practice. Then, come the final shot in a game, in the huddle Brown would toss his clip board to the floor, demand that we all hold hands & think positive thoughts. And we would go out there, totally lost." And do not ever forger that Dale Brown's LSU team, at home, had a 1 point lead with the ball out of bounds under his own basket, 1 second left, and LSU lost the when the inbounds player threw the ball out of bounds without being touched, UGA got the ball back. threw it up to Dominque Wilkins who slammed in the game winner at the buzzer. The LSU player did not know the rules.

LSU did lose to Georgia when they had the ball with one second left. It was John Williams who inbounded the ball. It wasn’t a slam dunk that won it and it for sure was not Dominique Wilkins. The game you are thinking about happened in February 1985. Wilkins was in his third year in the NBA.

Georgia player that made the basket was Gerald Henderson. He banked it home directly in front of the basket. I must I was shocked at the whole sequence of events as I watched it on TV.
