Daddy and Bob Pettit

My father got his Master's Degree from LSU in the early 1950's. This also happened to be the time period when Bob Pettit began his career there. Pettit went on to average 27.8 points per game during his three-year varsity career. His senior year he averaged 31.4 points and 17.3 rebounds. Daddy probably could not remember it now that his memory has started to slip, but I recall him mentioning being at LSU while Pettit was there, and what a big deal that was.
