LSU should be a perennial basketball power by LSUGrad9295
Last 30 years of LSU basketball: 1 Final Four and 1 Sweet 16. Only 6 NCAA tournament berths in the last 24 years. 1 NCAA tournament win in the last 11 years.
"Perennial Power" is not in the DNA of this program at the moment. No matter who is coaching next year, it will be an uphill climb to get relevant again.
True, but it could be and should be. From 1978-1992, LSU went to the dance just about every year and had 2 Final Four appearances and at least 8 Round-of-32 appearances and 3 or 4 Sweet 16s.
But since then, there's just been 2000 (Sweet 16), and 2006 (Final Four).
We need to get back to the 80's mentality somehow, some way.

"Baton Rouge, Louisiana is the 93rd largest city in the United States, but No. 7 in terms of NBA presence ahead of Houston or Phoenix. Brandon Bass, Marcus Thornton, Glen Davis, Robert Sacre, Langston Galloway and Garrett Temple were all born there".
The article is 2 years old. Both Jarrell Martin and Damian Jones have been on NBA rosters this season.
8 players from Baton Rouge in the NBA would place Baton Rouge 4th behind Los Angeles, New York and Chicago
Yes LSU should be a perennial basketball power, and it is so sad to see the program being shite away.

We went to the tourney a lot but we didn't really have a great team after '81. We were consistently good but not close to a perennial power.

Uhhhh, JJ was the guy who was supposed to do that. He played for and coached for Dale Brown, the worst one of the best coaches in SEC history.
Dude(Brown) was a basketball idiot, but motivated like no other. JJ was the last guy LSU needed to hire. He has no x and o skills and can't motivate worth a shite. Thus the team was destined to suck arse.
