LSU men’s basketball: where it has been and where it is going

The first quarter of the 21st century for LSU athletics concluded with the baseball team winning the national championship last month.

Of the four most visible sports, men’s basketball was the least successful over the past 25 academic years. The Tigers won only three Southeastern Conference titles in this span of time and reached the Final Four on just one occasion.

Coach John Brady was fired two seasons after taking LSU to the Final Four.
