But wait I thought the big thing on why MM is still the coach here is because he only had 1 scholarship player ? So what’s the excuse now ???

Yeah, he looked rough early but his last several games looked more like what what I had hoped for. I was hoping he might come back and take a step forward in his play.

Not surprising, but he put in 4 years here and I never saw him take a play off. He has more than earned his right to look around for a perfect opportunity for his final year.

Why would you think that? Just making things up? He did have to talk a couple of guys back out of the portal Mwani wasn't one of them I don't think.

Regardless of that, though, that was never gonna be the reason he got another year after this one.

What's your excuse for incorrectly using punctuation marks?

Mwani was in for a couple of weeks. Everyone was in at one point.

But yeah, that other guy must have started his weekend drinking early.

Unsurprising as he didn’t see much playing time here and participated in senior night. I love and respect him for staying and battling through injury. All my fellow diehard fans know how much we all wanted him to see the court more.

I wish him all the best at his next school.


I don't understand why he didn't get more playing time. He was almost always good when he was on the floor. His 3 point shot came back, and his defense was one of the best on the team. I hate to see him leave. He will do well wherever he goes.

That's unnecessary. Mwani played his arse off for us and stuck around after after the Wade/CoachMc transition.

Can’t score the ball. Basic pre-requisite at this level

He was injured too, basically had the corner 3, but his defense was solid.

I hope you wish him well.

McMahon must have a hell of a class coming in if the 10th or 11th guy on the roster is better than Mwani given everything else we’re losing. I can’t wait to see the product he puts on the floor!

With his athleticism he would have been a scoring threat if he had developed the ability to drive to the basket. He never really seemed to progress with ball handling.

Absolutely, he went through it here at lsu. Great tiger, great teammate. A small part of me would like him to reunite with wade at mcneese. I’m pretty sure he would excel at that level.
