In 1935, there was no NCAA tournament (first one 1939) or NIT tournament (1938). There wasn't even an AP poll (1948-9). The ultimate in college basketball was the conference championship – determined either by regular season play or a post-season tournament. However, LSU got an opportunity to claim a "national championship" when it was invited to play in the "American Legion Bowl" in Atlantic City, NJ, against the Pittsburgh Panthers.

LSU met Pittsburgh on April 13, 1935, before 5,000 fans in the Atlantic City Auditorium..... The Tigers roared back to win, 41-37.
