Three years in Baton Rouge were enough for Shaquille O'Neal to collect quite a résumé. 1990 Associated Press Player of the Year, 2 time Consensus All American, and 2 time SEC Player of the Year. He was a force, plain and simple, and the main reason LSU Tigers fans entered the 1991-1992 season with real hope.
Dale Brown's squad closed that year at 20-9, 12-4 in in the SEC, which earned the Tigers a #7 seed in the West Region of the NCAA Tournament. Their run ended in the second round against #2 seed Indiana Hoosiers.
Shaq averaged 24 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks per game that season. The 1992 NBA Draft then made him the #1 pick.
"He was a special cat, man. They just don't come around. I don't know if there will ever be another one. The size and the power he possessed. The mindset and the attitude. How smart of a guy he was. He was something special. He really was."
-Johnny Jones, LSU Assistant Coach
