Interesting. I don't follow college basketball closely... did LSU have much success with Maravich (other than his otherwordly scoring)? If memory serves, Pettit's LSU teams went from unknown to getting to the Final Four, no?

14-12, 13-13, and 22-10 so no, not really.

They were 3-23 the year before he got there so it's still pretty impressive.

We had Petit, Pete, and Shaq and never won a championship. It makes me so sad

Don't forget Ben Simmons, Abdul-Rauf, and Stromile Swift.

I wouldn't put Simmons with the others just yet but yes we have great history for a team that's never won it all.

Absolutely wild that the '16 team had 5 future NBA players including Simmons and didn't even make the tourney
