LSU is 3-2 right now. SEC play is around the corner and Jones (an Alleva hire) is likely on the hotseat after missing post season play last year.

How do you see the season playing out? Does LSU make the NCAA tourney? What does Jones do to keep his job?

Finally, if Jones is fired, do you trust Alleva to hire his replacement?

They have more wins than that.
The Houston win was pretty good.
Need to run the table on rest of non conf games.

Watching White last night coach against Duke makes me wish we would have hired him.

I don't trust Alleva to breathe, let alone make a hire. That being said...we "missed the postseason" by choice last year. Didn't we? We declined an NIT invite?

who knows what will happen this year.

Wrong

This season will be more mediocrity, but will look like an improvement because less is expected.

JJ must make the tourney to keep his job imo.

I wouldn't trust Alleva to feed my dog that I hate while I'm on vacation.

LSU needs to find a competent point guard. College basketball is point guard driven.Big men in NCAA Div. 1 out of the power 5 are essentially either endangered species or "projects" Aside from Glen Davis, name me a decent big man that has stayed at LSU more than 2 years in the last 16-17 years

We've got some good pieces. The Houston game was encouraging. Not enough to convince me we won't fall into the same traps as previous Johnny Jones teams. I was done with Jones last year but that doesn't really matter now. Gotta see how this season shakes out

If we make the NCAA tourney Id be pretty impressed. I am just expecting NIT play and hopefully we do well in it. Regardless if that keeps jones or not the extra game for the team would be good imo.

Look we got destroyed by Witchita st because the team came out playing with their dicks. Other than that I have really been discouraged or encouraged by anything. And I expect us to be in the middle of the sec. 8-10 wins.
