LSU Tigers

The LSU Tigers play home games at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, a building named for the most electrifying scorer the sport has ever seen. LSU basketball carries an offensive, showman's flair that traces directly back to Pistol Pete's record-shattering college career. The program has produced a string of NBA stars and thrilling teams, even while national championship success has been elusive. The Maravich Center's energy reflects a fan base that expects entertaining, high-scoring basketball every night.

LSU's men's basketball program dates its first season to 1908-09. Pete Maravich starred for the Tigers from 1967-70 under his father, coach Press Maravich, scoring 3,667 points to become the NCAA's all-time leading scorer, a record that stood until Caitlin Clark surpassed it in 2024. Under coach Dale Brown, LSU later reached two Final Fours, in 1981 and 1986, and made thirteen NCAA tournament appearances, but the Tigers have never won a national championship, going 0-6 in Final Four games.
