re: LSU admin is proving they don’t care about men’s bball & I’m not even talking about Ws&Ls

Woodward doesn't even go to the men's basketball games. I don't blame him. The team is bad and he is responsible.

This I don't understand. Regardless of how the team is doing, Woodward should show his face from time to time. It's cowardly.

I struggle with how fast a basketball team should be able to level up at the college level, especially with less than enthusiastic support (both from the Administration and fans).

Wade managed to bring some great players on board, which is essential for us to compete. I don't care how he did it -- he made it happen. But with LSU's name and NIL opportunities, I'm pretty sure we could reel in some solid talent if the powers at play wanted.

As for the NCAA and their handling of Jalen Cook? It feels like they're still giving us a hard time, so it seems like we're still dealing with some unspoken sanctions.

We know LSU is not "all in" on basketball. We're leaning on LSU's reputation and McMahon's knack for scouting and coaching hidden gems. Remember, it took McMahon three years at Murray State to hit his stride. So, if this is what we're calling his "first real year," then he's probably got a couple more seasons to show us what he's got. Scotty's probably thinking that this is all he's willing to go with for now, and as long as football and baseball are on track then he's not sticking his neck out.

As the eternally frustrated LSU men's basketball fan, I'm going to support my alma mater even if I know it's a secondary sport. McMahon's the coach and I'm going to support him.
