BATON ROUGE -- Fomer LSU All-American forward Durand “Rudy” Macklin will be the guest speaker Tuesday when the December Tipoff Luncheon with LSU men’s basketball coach Johnny Jones is held at the L’Auberge Hotel and Casino Baton Rouge.
The monthly gatherings for good food and basketball conversations are open to the public and presented by Hub International.
Macklin, whose jersey number is retired above the playing floor of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, was on the NCAA Final Four team and 40 years ago last month set the LSU record for most rebounds in a game with 32 versus Tulane.
