I remember being so pumped about Randy Livingston. Dude was supposed to be better than Jason Kidd. And Ronnie Henderson...Damn that team could have been legit.
Livingston started off awesome and was leading the nation in assists per game even with a rehabbed knee. The team was rolling and then he broke his kneecap. He would've been awesome. I saw him in high school at Newman playing in the Dome. It was him and four white kids who were mostly pretty bad (no offense to them) and the other team still couldn't stop him. His passes were awesome, but he had a burst and aggressiveness that other players couldn't keep up with. He left people in the dust. He could jump out the gym and shoot too.

It isn't being a fair weather fan when every game in every year is a thunderstorm.
It is just mind numbing to watch the crap thst passes off as basketball in the colleges nowdays.

It was the mid 90s. LSU basketball lost year after year from about 93-99 and football got good again starting in 95.

The extended losing at the end of dale Brown's tenure, followed up by the success of the football program and the inconsistency of the program under Brady really killed it
yep...baseball was pulling a good bit of attention from it as well...

I've been part of the 3500 loyals who buy STix and go every year since the bldg opened. John Brady's second year we lost about 3/4000 from the ranks. There has been only 15/20 games since that time where more than 10K were actually in the bldg. CBB is my favorite sport LSU is my favorite team so it's easy for me.

When skip made baseball a dynasty

The end of Dale's run, the Lester Earl saga and following probation, combined with the ascension of baseball under Skip.
Once baseball became a national powerhouse, it came out of nowhere and jumped basketball, because we suddenly became a winner at something.
At first the rest of the college sports world laughed at us, but when we started turning a profit in baseball, we made it a relevant sport in the SEC. And once that happened, the sport blossomed nationally (see the rise of Notre Dame, the delay of opening day to aid the Big 10, etc).
I'd say late 90's, early 2000's.
Brady ball got things back some, but Trent poured cold water all over everything.
