How in the world did a team with that much talent earn a 5 seed in the tournament and get bounced in the second round? I mean...how??

Three players on the team that needed to be double teamed. It's frustrating but this might've been the year they lost to Georgia Tech?. Dennis Scott Bryan Oliver Kenny Anderson. Chris Jackson had the flu in that game. And had only 13 points?

Dale brown is why

Also an interesting question- how was GT a 9 seed with all that talent?

that wasn't a good "team"...they didn't play well together on the court.

Calipari would've been out in the 1st round with that talent.

Just look to the head coach in that instance

The flu or covid

The horrible things I’d do for lsu to be that stacked and even a 5 seed again

Shaq referenced that team not long ago on that NBA show he is on , saying they didn’t win a championship because they all played for themselves and not as a team.

Those were the glory days of LSU basketball, even with the disappointing tourney results.
I was a young lad and would chalk SEC logos into my driveway while I popped imaginary threes like LSU legend Mahmoud Abdul Rauf. I remember pilfering the SI issue with him on the cover from our gradeshool library the day it came out.

Wasn’t that the only year they all played together? Chemistry and experience in a system is sometimes more important than pure talent

Hell, that team couldn't even win the SEC.
Dale was better with lesser talented players that he could motivate. He didn't do as well with elite talent.

Dale accomplished more in his life than you'll ever sniff

Yep. GT was the first team in ACC history to have 3 dudes on the same team averaging 20+ ppg. I believe they had 4 1st rounders on that team. They had some early season struggles due to a few issues, but they were stacked too and went on to the Final Four.
LSU was obviously stacked, but Shaq was just a freshman. He was an awesome freshman, but not yet would he would become. CJ being sick and fouling out did LSU in.

LSU was killing them in the paint in the first half. GA Tech could not score anything inside and our bigs were just dunking at will.
GA Tech adjusted, started shooting and making a bunch of 3s and we traded 2s for 3s the rest of the game until we lost. We had bad perimeter defense on that team.
That's how I remember it anyway. CJ he announced he was going pro after the game and Roberts said he hoped to come back "if they'll let me" signaling he was in grade trouble. They ultimately "did not let him".

I believe that game garnered the famous Bob Knight post-game quote, 'I never saw anyone do so little with so much talent'.
Should have advanced further, no doubt.

Lethal Weapon Three. That’s why. They put in a clinic.
