I can’t believe it’s been this long since LSU made a significant tournament run. Thank god for Will Wade.

The 2009 team got screwed by the committee with the UNC matchup in the 2nd round. That team could have been a sweet 16/elite 8 team with a reasonable draw

For sure. As others have mentioned, LSU gave UNC their best game of the tournament on their way to the National Championship.


And let us not forget that Johnny Jones led team in 2015, when LSU was up 14 at the half against NC State only to lose by 1. NC State went on to beat 1-seed Villanova in the next round. LSU might have been able to do the same. Unfortunately, that's our most recent memory from the Big Dance.
