Yes. In 1970, Pete's last season at LSU, the Tigers defeated Georgetown and Oklahoma in the NIT to make it to Madison Square Garden for the semifinals. Marquette defeated LSU 101-79 before defeating St. John's in the championship game.

Army defeated LSU in the third-place game, 75-68.

The season before Press and Pete Maravich arrived in Baton Rouge, the Tigers were 6-20. The next season, with Pete playing only for the freshman team (freshmen were ineligible), LSU was 3-23. The arena was packed for freshman games, then would empty out for the varsity games. When Pete finally played for the varsity in 1967-68, LSU was 14-12. His junior season, the Tigers were 13-13.

The NIT team finished 22-10.

Without Pete, LSU's varsity was 14-12 and 10-16, and Dale Brown took over as head coach for the 1972-73 season. He won the SEC in the 1978-79 season, the SEC tournament in the 1979-80 season and lost to Isiah Thomas and Indiana in the semifinals of the Final Four in 1981. Dale went back to the Final Four with an unlikely group in 1986.

Maravich averaged 44.2 points a game in varsity play -- without the 3-point line, of course. Dale Brown once said Pete's average would have been 57 ppg with a 3-point line.

A Turbo Dog to Fenian for the Apple Sanders reference. Good stuff.

Make it two.
Dean The Dream kicked your boy's ass and then his brother got up behind the LSU bench and announced, "This honky can't dance."
That MU team was the last team allowed to reject an NCAA tournament bid. Al didn't want to go to Lubbock.

Brady named the coach at Arkansas State today. From the Final Four two years ago to the Sun Belt, ouch.

The Sun Belt ... where old SEC coaches go to retire.

It looks like ASU was just determined to hire a jackass. No Richardson? Brady to the rescue.

Nolan decided to not to pursue the ASU job, saying that the school would be too racially hostile for his taste.
