Win more games.

Nothing else I need to say about that.

Sorry for partying?

How about a variation on that? Sorry for working?

It's TJ's fourth season and we might make the NIT. 'nuff said.

Surely he can't be that dumbfounded as to why there is a lack of support.

show up for any of the last three regular season games and maybe more fans buy in

a coach with a personality maybe would draw some interest

why should I have gone? cause they have LSU across their chest? sorry, need more than that

He's a kid, I agree he's very disappointed, but they have to win more games for people to spend money on traveling to a venue like that.

Make the fans turn out.

And if we would have somehow won the game, the crowd would have been great on Saturday.

Fans gave up on the team halfway into this season. No surprise about the following yesterday against the #1 ranked team in the country that also beat us by 24 at home 2 weeks ago. The game was on a Friday afternoon and the team played like T total shite the last 3 games of the season.

Disappointing is the past 4 years performance of the Men's basketball program.

Most LSU fans just don't have the same love and passion for basketball as they do football and baseball. It sucks for the players but that's the way it is.

That dude wanted to beat kentucky bad. He was wiping away tears at the end of the game.

Well Anthony, so was the season and in particular the last 4 regular season games. Had the team won at least 2 of those the turnout would have been much better.

:rolleye

Hickey is a breath of fresh air! Make no mistake!
His effort is inspiring.

LSU Fans, however, are not fools. THE TEAM INCONSISTENCY HAS BEEN VERRRRRRY DISAPPOINTING!

So it is not a one way street here....easy to figure out. And Alleva can retain TJ, the fans will continue to stay away.

Didn't Hickey notice the "no shows," during the regular season? Then on the road at NOON ON A FRIDAY? We have had little to hope for, and it is because of the HC, coaching and failure to recruit.

LSU tanking the end of the season was very disappointing. The NIT blows. I will not watch a tournament of .500 teams. There is nothing else I need to say about that.

It irritates me when fans assume that supporting LSU necessarily requires the predicate of winning first. I'm not here to bitch at people for not going but Hickey is right. The team deserves more support for no other fact than the fact that they represent LSU. That should be enough. Sad it's not, as evidence from some of the dildo's on this board.

bball is on the level of gymnastics and soccer at LSU...deal with it...play top 25 ball, and that might change.

Let me just put it like this...I live in BR...i'm a huge Hornets fan. but i'm not traveling to NOLA to see that shitty arse team. i'm not going to leave work early, pay gas money to go to new orleans, pay for parking and concessions and tickets, all to see them lose.

same with this LSU team. i don't care how much they've improved over the past few seasons. the story is still the same. i'm sorry Hickey is butt hurt, but maybe they shouldn't be losing to fricking coastal carolina or whatever BS teams they lost to earlier in the season and then tank 3 of their last 4 or whatever. he has no right to call out LSU supporters.

This thread is gold.

LSU basketball geeks tilting at windmills because more fans didn't take off work to be present at a lost cause.

Like another poster said, some of you guys need to get off Mom & Dad's tit and find jobs. There's more important shite in life.
