I was at the games in Atlanta against Duke and Texas. They were epic games and we had a great times at both. My favorite was the Texas game because that one was for all the marbles (that were available that weekend).

I also went to Indy the following week, but that was a different story.

The great thing about this thread is there is no wrong answer. I have memories of each game i’ll never forget. That tourney run and the 2019 football szn was probably the most fun times to be an LSU fan. Im not counting baseball bc that would be biased

Duke for sure. They were the number one seed in the entire NCAA Ty that year.

I’ll go with Duke in my own post for a couple of reasons. Texas, as a 2 seed, was hammered by Duke earlier in the year in an AP #1 v #2 game in the Meadowlands. Texas had Lamarcus, PJ Tucker, and was loaded, but it was Duke who was always the media darling. Throw in Redick, and it was a match made in ESPN heaven.

The Duke win took so much out of me that I honestly thought there would be a letdown against Texas. As a fan, I wasn’t even thinking about the Horns until the day of the game.

LSU played some amazing defense in that run. Iona's 64 points was the most points they gave up in regulation. After that it was 57 to A&M, 54 to Duke, 54 to Texas, and 59 to UCLA. Problem was LSU couldn't score.

ETA: 52 to Texas

Duke, and that’s an easy one for me to answer. Watching us capitalize on one shot to knock off a blue blood was incredible.

Speaking of which, has anyone been able to find the full Iona and A&M games from that tournament? I feel like I’ve searched everywhere but no results. It’d be fun to watch those games again knowing what was to come later in the tournament.

I was in Austin, had lived there through my high school years, and was watching the elite 8 game with several HS friends who were gung ho UT.

Needless to say, that one. That game. No question. Glorious.

Was in Dallas for the final four in 86 and remember a Kansas dude with no shirt on with DUKE MAKES ME PUKE painted on his chest/stomach. Told him to patent that shite cuz it’s awesome. So of course it’s Duke.

Also the win in 86 was definitely Kentucky. Beating Kentucky in hoops is like beating Bama in football, doesn’t get much better than those feelings baw
