I would just like to see LSU field a full roster of SEC caliber players, that's all. If you do that, you'll be successful. Talent is the name of the game and LSU doesn't have enough of it right now.

LMU game was that same season, i think the next weekend. We also had an epic game vs Texas in Houston that year, plus Notre Dame in the Dome. I was at all 4, helluva OOC. Man i miss the days when we had a basketball program

I have to say go Rebels on this one because I wasn't an LSU fan yet. Was still chewing on my towel back in LV. I still have my towel btw. Can anybody post that pic of Tarkanian wearing an LSU shirt with Brady? There's only two people in the world that would make me giddy when they walked in and that's Tark and Agassi. Tark wearing an LSU shirt is the tits for me.

Me too.
I had the rare privilege of calling Tark an a-hole to his face before the game. I approached him looking for an autograph, and he waved me off saying: "Get lost, kid."

damn wish we could have that again, what a great time it was

Ha-ha...look at the 10-K coolers in the background.

the save by Jackson was pretty incredible. Daddy Dale gave one of his Norman Vincent Peale speeches during the time out.

That video is fake!
Never happened! Can't be.
A large sell out crowd? Loud? Quality teams playing?
We've been told LSU was not a basketball school.
Sure looked like one to me when I was there.

Mmmmm 10-K

I was there for UNLV and Marymount too, but am pretty sure it was a little later.
The Tigers beat UNLV 107-105 (after the Rebels sank a meaningless 3-pointer at the buzzer) and beat Loyola 148-141 in OT.
Best two men's games I ever saw.

Lee chatelain is the man. Also, the remote control car with the purple & gold shark fin, controlled by mike the tiger that disrupted their huddle during the timeots is something that just doesnt happen anymore. Some people will have no idea what i'm talking about.

I was there...say what you want, but Dale Brown knew how to put fans in the seats and play exciting basketball. The Georgetown game in the dome had 66,000 and was a last second win....ahhhhh the good ole days of LSU basketball...missed greatly.

Au contraire, that last three pter by UNLV at the buzzer(I believe Anderson Hunt?), as LSU defenders raced out of his way near the arc, was anything but meaningless. The line was either 2.5 or 3ish? Rebs covered by either the hook or a single pt.
Three of the Rebels five losses iin 1990 came against Kansas, Oklahoma and LSU – all with players of note serving some sort of suspension(phone bill scam). No Moses Scurry and Stacey Augmon for the LSU game if I recall correctly. Thus the inflated LSU spread, of a game that figured near pick 'em. Brown and Tark were close friends(both NCAA antagonists), both teams came in preseason #1 and #2, LSU was off the a mediocre 13-4 season to date, thus I thought it was gonna be that close regardless of the suspensions.
I had UNLV for a nickel. Twas the 'wrong side', but cashed anyways. Also UCLA against a great Oregon team, OSU vs a decent USC,etc..
Later that same day, I had San Fran minus the gaudy number vs Den for game, every quarter, miscellaneous player props on Montana and Rice, etc..cashed 11 of the 12 SB bets..
Strong day for a then young collegian, had multiple other local outs, but put one young LSU BM in a world of hurt..he cut me loose..had to pay me off in installments over months.
Much like say Chris Duhon's 40 ft bomb at the end of Duke-UConn 2004 Title Gm, it was anything but "meaningless" to a certain faction of game fans.

i was 12 and watched or listened to every game during that era. Not so much anymore.

That was the only moment in my life that I've ever cheered for Duke. I still never have forgiven them for the 1991 Final Four.

Jackson was an incredible talent but Blanton was the leader and stabilizing presence on that team. It's too bad Roberts and H. Boudreaux were academically ineligible that year. They really would have helped. Either that or give Blanton a 6th year of eligibility and the next's year's team with O'Neal and Roberts could have gone all the way.

What an awesome game... I was lucky to see some good basketball while at LSU from '88-'92.
I miss those high scoring games. It seem like back then, the SEC was a great offensive league with teams routinely scoring 70+ points.
It feels like ages since LSU put a team on the court that could light up the scoreboard like that...
