You know what's sad South? There are very few fans that still believe in the season like you and I. I'm almost afraid of what the attendance will be like Saturday night. Playing a bad Vandy team after the Ole Miss loss and our last home game was a blow out...it literally scares me how bad the atmosphere will be. These are 18-21 year old kids who are 3 games into SEC play and most the fan base has already given up on them. Players read these boards and hear the things people say, and it absolutely crushes me since basketball is my favorite sport here.

I'll be there and I'm bringing as many people as I can to the game. I really hope the guys come out with energy and determination to get a little life back into the program

It is really tough to win on the road and LSU almost just went 2-0 on the road trip. Ole Miss isn't a bad team.

People are upset about the way we have closed out games - totally legitimate. We have been bad closing out games.

People have been upset about coaching - Honestly, yea there's some coaching things I have issues with.

People have been upset with the demeanor that JOB plays with - Totally legitimate. He looks like he doesn't want to play if he's not scoring a basket a minute.

Still, the team has a lot to play for. Im worried for the conference because noone wants to pull ahead besides Florida. This conference could get 1-3 teams into the tournament when we were hoping for 5 just a few weeks ago. But with Tennessee losing to A&M, Missouri choking and LSU playing like this... Shoot Kentucky could lose a few and we could be a 1 team conference which would be a monumental fail.

I agree completely. I mean, I'm disappointed at the recent stretch too, but there's no reason to give up completely. We also know how poorly LSU did at the start of SEC play last year and how much they improved at the end of the year.

hey, I want a little shoutout here too! I have been getting reamed for defending Jones. I am just astonished how quickly our fans have written him off.

Get over yourself LSUButt. Any reasonable fan knows that the last few tourney spots for the sec are wide open. Ask them who will go to the ncaa tourney besides lsu and they'll name uf and uk, but have no idea who else. Many fans are down right now, but you can't blame them. We blew that game wed. night by playing not to lose in the final 1:30. Winning our next 2 games will put us right around where need to be going into bama. I do hope that JOBIII comes off the bench saturday. That is one person that seems to not care and has really hurt this team on both ends with his lack of hustle. If he doesnt snap out of it this team will have trouble from here on out. Mickey, martin, coleman, stringer and hickey need to be the starters for now. Im pretty sure this team will go on a big run in sec play and get the excitement back before the season is over.
