re: Most embarrassing defeat in LSU basketball since>

Numerous defeats under both Dale Brown and Brady far out do this loss. Look, we have no players this year. Should TJ signed a couple JC guys to fill the void this year and a little next? Maybe. TJ can flat out coach. I was in NYC when the Tigers played. Our talent compared to UConn and even Arizona State isn't even close. I was sitting next to several UConn fans as well as a couple guys who were there to watch Duke. Everyone of these guys said that TJ can coach with the best of them and he is really well respected amongst basketball coaches. Look at his record, he can coach. BTW-- I was in NYC to have some fun with my family. I'm a Tiger but not retard enough to spend my cash to fly up to NYC to watch these poor guys play.

Can TJ recruit? We shall see over the next couple years. Brady sucked all around. We should be able to win our portion of the league most years. Miss State is pretty good in basketball and their coach way above average.

We finally have some decent facilities for basketball. TJ should be given a pass for this year no matter the record in the SEC. He will win about 5-7 in the SEC at most this year. Next year we should be able to win about 22-24 games overall and contend for the SEC West title.

I don't like John C but he can recruit and coach. I think a guy with TJ's philosphy is the only real way to beat John C's teams. Fundamentally sound and going into the game with a real strategy on how to beat a team like UK -- we can't even come close this year and may only be able to scare them the following year but after that we will be able to play with teams like UK b/c of TJ's ability to really coach the fundamentals and come up with a strategy.
