I was there, and the Assembly Center was rocking! It was in January of 1978. 3OT win after all the starters fouled out-amazing!

I was there.

I remember a black fraternity starting the Who Dat at one of the games at the PMAC that year. It was the first time I'd heard it. Crazy.

Camped out overnight to get in the Assembly Center, and still had a crappy seat!

was there. I asked my roommate if he wanted to go and he laughed at me and said he knows who is going to win. I did not miss any LSU football or Basketball game while I was a student at LSU.

I was there with my cousin, one of the best basketball games ever witnessed. Section L26 Seats 5 and 6. I f I remember correctly Rick Mattick was a 7 footer and a Freshman and believe it or not , hit some crucial free throws in the final OT to help get the win.

Definitely the most exciting game I've ever seen in person. Saw it with my dad. We were standing on our seats in that 2nd OT and it was so loud we couldn't hear each other. The play that brought the house down was the dunk by the double knee-braced Floyd "The Dubberly Dude" Bailey.

Sat on the second to last row from the top. Loved every minute. I did not even know who the subs were, but they sure did have a great 3 year run after that.

January '78
I was courtside. It was truly the "Deaf Dome" that night.
Goose Givens threw an errant pass sealing the win. Brown called the reserves "Reinforcements."

Rick Maddock even scored

80 was pretty epic too. We lost at the end but that was a great time for LSU Basketball.

Was Ricky Roby on that Kentucky team?
That guy won a championship on every level.
