They went into halftime down by one. They were competitive for most of the game. Upsets do happen sometimes.

And an upset may be brewing right now.

LSU should threaten to end the football program if fans dont show up to basketball games

QFT.
Quoted for truth.

a coach with a personality maybe would draw some interest
this is is a big underestimated factor in the attitude of the fan base to this team. He's likable enough but he's not very dynamic of a personality at all. If he is not going to exhibit great enthusiasm for his program then why should the fan base be expected to do so?

Nope, only if you give a damn about a certain LSU sport. Football fans will make their trips, Baseball fans will make theirs, softball fans will make theirs, etc.

People that work for a living and have families to support don't drop everything they have going on to go support a team that has no chance to win.
I'm not hating on the fans who simply said they had work and just couldn't make it. But the problem is that we have jackasses on here that say, "because the team is shite" and people who really aren't fans, but only show up when we start doing good.

Well yeah, most didn't. But what about Thursday against the lowly Arkansas team?

Saying a true LSU fan would have been there is assanine.
Then why did some LSU fans show up?

I would never go to the SEC tournament. Trashy Kentucky fans and poor refereeing just doesn't appeal to me.
Posted on 3/10/12 at 12:42 pm to SteveLSU35
Ive been to the sec tourney in Atlanta and Nashville. Vandy, Tennessee and Georgia fans were no better

Well good, you proved me wrong here.

IMO no player or coach should be questioning LSU fans on their committment. This university is as well supported as almost any in the nation. If people don't support a certain program by showing up then maybe they are attempting to send the powers that be a message
This is true.

Hickey is a breath of fresh air! Make no mistake!
His effort is inspiring.
LSU Fans, however, are not fools. THE TEAM INCONSISTENCY HAS BEEN VERRRRRRY DISAPPOINTING!
So it is not a one way street here....easy to figure out. And Alleva can retain TJ, the fans will continue to stay away.
Didn't Hickey notice the "no shows," during the regular season? Then on the road at NOON ON A FRIDAY? We have had little to hope for, and it is because of the HC, coaching and failure to recruit.

U fire Brady we will show up.
Great year next year they didn't show up
It's always a fricking excuse.
I bought season tix in 09 from a guy because I said I would if they fired Brady. I didnt' buy in 10 because the jackass in 09 kept all the good games.

so I guess LSU has all of 15 true basketball fans
I would put the number around 1500 "true" fans.

Why do you need a coach who is exciting to support the school you went to? Or to support kids who chose to bust their arse for the school you are suppose to love? Even if you want to coach gone that is no reason to force players who have been busting their arse to play in front of no one.

Who gives a shite? IT's not a "who's the best fan" contest.

I've been to every sec venue except USCe and Kentucky 07 was by far my worst away game experience. frick Kentucky fans

Uh thats exactly why you are a fan. Because of what is in the jersey.

It's TJ's fourth season and we might make the NIT. 'nuff said.
Surely he can't be that dumbfounded as to why there is a lack of support.
We are still LSU and the game was in New Orleans against a top tier opponent.
Hickey is right. When it comes to LSU basketball, the LSU fan is a bandwagon fan.
