If you are saying you do not like the trajectory of this program or will wade, please do what you did up until a week ago (band-wagoner) quit watching. Let me explain what is going on. We have a 7 deep rotation. One of our main guys in the rotation is hurt so we are 6 deep right now. We have to many guys playing to many minutes. So what happens when this is the case. In the last 5 minutes of the game our 5 are all over 30 minutes played, while the other team typically doesn’t have one with those minutes played. Then you throw in that days almost always is in foul trouble and it makes it even worse. So you say well that’s the coach’s problem for not recruiting properly. Here’s where it gets interesting for guys who started following the program a week ago.

Will wade had 2 other top 50 recruits coming to us or at least favored to us last year. If you don’t recall our imbecile AD at the time suspends him during the most important period in recruiting. So we sign who we can to glue a class together. So what is the result of this? DEPTH

We get tired at the end of games and it shows big time. We will be significantly better if Manning comes back even remotely to what he was before the injury. But let me ask you this. Could you imagine this team with quinones second leading scorer for top 25 Memphis and another big time player. With all this and a lack of depth we are 17-6 and 8-2 in conference. If you ask me wade has out done himself after losing 3 starters on a conference championship team. Trust me Wade has it and I trust in him. Yeah he didn’t do the best coaching down the stretch in today’s game but like I said he has this program on the right trajectory. When we get healthy you will not want to play this team during tourney time.

The trajectory is great. However, they just blew a big game that they almost had in the bag and the coaching could have helped them much more than it did.

Will Wade's philosophy is to make it a game on the road with 6 minutes to go so that our conditioning will win out. You're just making excuses. We got too 3 happy at the end of regulation and they got hot. We didn't defend on the last play and got beat. We played a good game, but they just made a few more plays on their home floor in an incredible environment. We probably win that game at home or on a neutral floor.

ETA: Auburn was down a starter to illness.

I’m not arguing today was a tough one to swallow. I was just responding to people saying Fire will wade and don’t like the direction of the program.

Exactly. This team has over achieved so far this year. There’s a ton of parity this year but with only 6 guys in the rotation, and a team that can’t really shoot, every game is going to be close. Basically a pick em for here on out. The fact this team will see the tournament is a great testament to wade

There are a lot of morons on this site who know nothing about sports other than when a team loses or wins. Many never even care about LSU basketball until they lose so they can come on here and bitch. However, when you blow that game, some bitching is expected and there is some valid criticism because LSU basically had it wrapped up until they didn't.

1st off, good post.
2nd, if there really are people who think Wade should be canned, do us all a favor and jump off a bridge.

If the end of regulation would have been handled better, we win the game. Simple as that. Losing Days killed us and fouls have plagued him since the moment he suited up for LSU. Damn good player but he can't stay on the floor.

LSU played their asses off in front of one of the greatest enviroments i've ever seen. They more than held their own in battle. It will only make them better imo.

With the sky falling and all, we're still tied for first with a home game vs Kentucky coming...

Hell, we're just getting started...
