re: LSU Basketball, patience is a virtue people

God you're miserable

good grief. what is it with you people? you just absolutely can't avoid the personal comments and armchair psychology. i don't agree with you. get over it.

quote:

Or we can just wait and see where they actually end up

---

that's not the point. the point is people are acting like this week means something it doesn't. vandy is not great right now. not in any sense.

quote:

---

I love that you're trying to discount a road SEC win

---

i'm not. i pointed out their record and their rpi. you apparently don't love facts.

quote:

---

Well the committee certainly can look up their RPI which dropped to an absolutely terrible #12. I see you left that out of your post though

---

what i did say was that the entire halftime commentary was about how bad uk was playing and how inconsistent they've been, both of which are pretty obvious to any reasonable observer. but let's keep acting like lsu beat a great team!

quote:

---

But hey, you don't even think getting LSU into the tourney last year was a step in the right direction for this program

---

great strawman. of course it was. anybody who understands how much talent was on that team knows that the result was awful compared to the talent on the roster.

quote:

---

You ignore the history of LSU basketball since the early 90's, and ignore the fact that LSU hasn't made back to back tournaments since Daddy Dale, nor do you acknowledge that we haven't won a tournament game in back to back years since 86-87.

---

this all has absolutely NOTHING to do with how much talent was on the team and the fact that jones didn't even win a tourney game.

quote:

---

You're oblivious to the talent level we were left with and the damage our program took before JJ

---

last year, only uk had more talent than lsu. lsu had top 2 talent in a power 5 conference. do you think an embarrassing first round loss is a commensurate result? please don't say yes

quote:

---

. Year 3 tournament was the reasonable expectation, and we met it.

---

being present in the bracket with that team is a low, low, super low expectation. i'm sure there are some losers out there who think that team blowing a 22 point lead in the 2nd half to nc st is ok. hey, we're lsu. we don't win in the tourney and trent didn't recruit.

quote:

---

Who brought the talent in?

---

he has proven he is a great recruiting coordinator. that's not what he's getting paid to do.

quote:

---

Once again: LSU won 12 SEC games the 3 years before hiring JJ.

---

so what? the last 2 seasons have been utter disappointments compared to the roster and this season has started out so frickin bad that multiple national media outlets have run major stories on what a craptastic job jones is doing squandering simmons.

quote:

---

They won 11 last year and finished #3 in the conference

---

who cares? they didn't even win a tourney game. what difference does it make?
