re: LSU v. DePaul BB 1980

True. And even since 1981’s loss to Indiana, there’s been at least 3-4 others (and maybe more) where LSU BB team lost to ultimate National champions. 2 that come to mind would be Louisville in 1986 and N. Carolina in what, 2007/8! (The dreaded 8th seed awarded to ranked team who won the SEC regular season title, “BY A LOT”!!! Still pissed about that. And we were the only team to scare N/C in the tourney that year!)
