Difference is North Carolina folks live and breath freaking roundball, even though they claim to be southern. Louisiana folks live and breath football and basketball will never be as popular as football in this state or at LSU.

even with a football culture we were still able to have respectable teams for many many years and be a tourney team more years than not....

you get this team winning 20 plus games a year the PMAC will follow and so will the fan base.

I planned on watching every game this year but am standing by in silent protest to this staff after watching WSU completely slaughter us.

nobody's saying we need basketball to be as popular as football. We're merely saying that LSU has been nationally relevant in basketball before, and our fanbase absolutely will support a quality product on the court.

We CAN consistently be in the top 3 or 4 of the SEC, get frequent tourney bids, and make an occasional run. We've done it before -- we just need the right head coach to make it happen again.

no excuse. if small expensive private schools like Gonzaga can field tourney teams year in, year out, then we should at least make the tournament with Ben MF'ing Simmons and the rest of that roster. It is inexcusable that Jones wasn't fired the day we missed the NCAAT.

eta: and if you've ever been to Spokane, you know they aren't drawing a lot of local talent. BR alone has more talent than the State of Washington.
