Great. And LSU had a player who averaged more PPG and rebounds than Brown did last season (KJ Williams). Regardless of how each became a part of the roster (via returning or transfer) they were both on the rosters of their teams last season.

Sure, let's ignore the fact that an NBA draft pick was on the roster with zero effort, while McMahon brought KJ Williams. Did the Missouri coach not bring along some talent?

Further, let's ignore that the 3 at LSU were firmly in the portal and McMahon had to recruit them back. Missouri got Kobe Brown. McMahon got Adam Miller. Swap those two and last year's team is a ton better. And this year's team looks about the same.

Oh, and I guess I missed the NOA Missouri got.

So once again, the comparison is apples to oranges, and you are taking one year of a decent record and ignoring the rest.

If LSU opened this year with 5 straight losses including 3 at home to Florida, Georgia, and SC McMahon's head would be on a pike.
