It is interesting how the crowd totally turned on Dale and LSU after this. “Throw Dale out! Throw Dale out!”


Most of the fans there were Kentucky fans and Kentucky/LSU was a heated rivalry in the late 70s to early 90s..

LSU had won 5 of the last 7 vs. Kentucky including a blowout earlier that season. Brown’s LSU teams were 18-23 to that point against Kentucky. Kentucky fans weren’t exactly fond of Dale Brown.

Such a frustrating period of LSU basketball. They blow out Kentucky and hang with Duke, but lose to bad teams in Georgia, Vandy, and Miss. State. So instead of a 3/4 seed in the NCAA, they get a 7 and draw Indiana in round 2. They go up by 14 early in that game and then choke it away when Shaq was on the bench.
