Our best was 1976, the year Indiana went 32-0. They had no seeds back then, Alabama #6 UNC #5 Marqeutte #2 and Indiana #1 in the polls all played in Baton Rouge.
Bama crushed UNC by 15, I think Indiana and Marquette had byes, at that time there were only 48 teams in the tourney.
We played Indiana next, close game al the way, led by one point with 2 minutes left and had the ball behind by one with under 30 seconds left, lost 74-69 I think, had to foul twice at the end. No other team got within 9 ( Marquette ) but every other team lost by 15 plus including Michigan in the National title game. We was good.

Yea, probably our best team ever. And of course we run into one of the best teams ever in the damned Sweet 16.
F'in Alabama basketball.
