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?

Derp

Absolutely miserable

I brought up their RPI. I'm sorry you don't love facts...or just consistent logic

quote:
lsu does tear up the sec but still doesn't make the tourney, the excuse will be that jones was missing 2 starters in dec so, he gets a pass. last year, "well, 2 years ago, trent didn't recruit." when will the excuses and the disappointment stop?

Jesus, you're dense

Dude are you reall this stupid

Yes we had 2 promising good players that got drafted. But we had NO DEPTH. NONE AT ALL. That was always the problem, players getting gassed twords the end, and playing with nothing left in the tank (see the UK game if you're clueless)
Also Embarrassing first loss you say. We lost at the buzzer to a SWEET 16 TEAM. To further break it down for you, that means 1 of 16 teams playing the best hoops in the nation at the end of the year.

Also you keep pounding the point of JJ not winning a tourney game at North Texas. I know he brought his mean green into BR and crushed the Tigers. Also did any former or later coach there win a tourney game? In fact did any former or latter coaches even get into the dance. You my friend are a piece of work.

I'm sure the only solution for you from here on out, one that will truly make you happy is for LSU to go undefeated from here on out, win the conference, conference tourney, the national championship, and your cherry on top would have to be to fire the coach after all of this has been accomplished.

Darcy and Patterson started for us last year and all we had off of the bench was Josh Gray. We were not that talented. Go watch some other college basketball teams.
