Apples to oranges comparison. You couldn't have more than one team in the NCAA tournament from a conference until the mid-1970s. The tournament was 32 teams until the mid-1970s and it didn't reach 64 until 1985.
Breaking it down further, LSU had a streak of 10 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances from 1984-93 (and had three consecutive appearances from 1979-81). That's not some trumped-up era from the 1930s. It's relatively recent. You don't make the NCAA tournament solely by winning the SEC tournament's automatic bid. LSU hasn't won the SEC tournament since 1980 (and they were second in the regular season that year as a top-10 ranked team all season) so all of their NCAA bids have been earned by solid regular seasons.
Want to guess how many Final Fours SEC rivals Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt have combined? Try zero. LSU is not North Carolina or Duke, but it damn sure isn't TCU or whatever dumb football comparison you want to make.
Historically, LSU is in the upper echelon of SEC schools in basketball. Those of us who care about LSU basketball want our place as a consistent force in this conference restored.

LSU should be able to pay for and attract a quality coach. Basketball is a high revenue sport. I don't understand the disconnect with LSU AD.

The disconnect is called Joe Alleva. Enough said.

So I guess in football if we were 11-0 going into the SEC championship and lost, but we still had the best conference record, we should be considered the best amirite?
Failed logic.
Yes, your logic is failed

All this does is give the rantards another thing to bitch about. LSU will never be relevant in basketball... at least not on a consistent basis.
Absolutely NO reason not to be

You act like LSU is in a slump basketball wise. This is par for the course. We are the vanderbilt of basketball in the SEC. It doesn't matter who we hire. It will always be this way. Do you see Vandy becoming a huge powerhouse in football anytime soon? Do you see them pulling a top 5 class anytime soon? I didn't think so.
You may be one of the most ignorant posters on this whole board. But not only that, you compound your ignorance by coming across like a raging fricking a-hole.
How old are you? Apparently not old enough to remember the 80's. LSU was absolutely considered a basketball power for 10-15 years. Go look at some old footage and notice how the PMAC was packed to the rafters and rocking. In fact, here's a couple of links for your history lesson:
LSU vs Kentucky, 1980
Chris Jackson highlights from 1989 Again, notice PMAC packed to the gills and very raucous.
And here is a road game from 1980 to illustrate that LSU was regarded as a well respected, up and coming program, and went toe to toe with one of the top national powers of the day.
LSU vs DePaul, 1980
For you to sit there and speak in absolutes, all-knowing and railing that LSU will NEVER be a good basketball program truly highlights your profound ignorance on the subject. For you to do it in the manner you have in this thread shows that not only are you ignorant, you're also an a-hole.
quote:
Kentucky, Duke, UNC, Kansas, Michigan St, Florida, UCLA ,Louiville. The landscape isn't changing anytime soon.
And how many times did you use Florida as an example, lumping them in with national power bluebloods. Do you not realize that before Billy Donovan, Florida had nowhere even close to the history in basketball that LSU had at that time? Florida was a big fat ZERO with regard to it's basketball tradition. But guess what, they went and hired a fantastic young coach. That was all it took. You railing against LSU's basketball prospects while including Florida as part of your argument truly illustrates that you are one ignorant POS jackass.
You dumbfrick.

Ok! His last three basketball hires have failed badly and his recent football search and hire was a laughable clusterfrick whether you like O or not.
How's that

Ok child..LSU basketball has more tradition than all SEC schools except UK and I guess FL. There is no excuse for us to be this bad in a shitty SEC. At worse we should be in top 5 of conf every year. JJ is horrible. I appreciate him being an ex player but he can't coach
