How bad was everybody else on those 1968/1969 teams that LSU went a combined 27-25 with Maravich at the healm?
I also must add here that I am the son of a Pistol Pete disciple. My dad worshipped the ground Pistol walked on, modeled every basketball thing he did after him, bought every Pistol Pete VHS tape and read every book as a kid. He did every Pistol Pete ball handling drill and trick. He still to this day talks about how he was in the stands as a 10 year old for the epic 106-104 game in Tuscaloosa in 1970 and how it was (until a few recent Alabama football games) the greatest sporting event he's ever been to.

Valid question but keep in mind after LSU's NCAA trip after the 1954 season LSU was 110-212 until Pete's first varsity season. In fact, LSU was 3-23 in his dad's first year. He actually had some quality teammates but no stars. Press actually recruited by design guys who were used to playing with stars. It took a special guy to know he was going to way down the food chain as long as Pete was there.
