1978/79 season to 1992/93 season under Dale Brown was a fun time to be an LSU basketball fan. Averaged 21.5 wins a season, a .67 winning percentage, made 2 final fours and 2 regional finals. Our best seasons were 78/79 - 80/81 (although we did make the Final Four as an 11 seed in 85/86). Rudy Maclin was the star. I was a little young for Rudy, but remember loving Leonard Mitchell, Hi-C Carter, Derrick Taylor, Ice Reynolds, Don Redden, Nikita Wilson, John Williams and Rick Blanton.

That's why I always bristle at the moronic posts of "LSU is not a basketball school" as a rational to accept mediocrity. During that time period getting into the PMAC (or just the "AC" for most of that time) was the toughest ticket in town. Students used to camp outside on the ramps before games. The games were rocking and loud! So to suggest suggest LSU can't have a good basketball is asinine. LSU wasn't a "baseball school" either until the late 80's (if that).

It takes finding the right HC and a willingness to not accept mediocrity. I'm not saying that's easy. LSU has been trying to find the right HC for nearly 40 years (they may or may not have had him in Wade), but this place could be a "basketball school" again because at one point, it was!
