Johnny Jones is the head coach.

That's the only explanation I can find.

Jones can't even match his shirt and tie. How do you expect to coach basketball.

I've been trying to wrap my brain around that myself. How can ANYONE be pleased, or make ANY excuses for this garbage??

Simmons is slightly overrated and Jones is a horrendous coach

His game needs to be different here. These players aren't good enough to consistently convert the opportunities he creates.

Remember what Simmons said last year when he was in HS and people were criticizing Jones? He said why LSU fans blame Jones it is the players who don't execute and he was right.

Yet god forbid you criticize this team on this board. Fact is they are mediocre at best.

Jones did a solid job up until this season, but he has fricked up every single thing about this season. I'm just in awe at this point.


Fire him. This positiger is out.

I got some issues with CJJ, tonight and otherwise, but I'm sorry gotta give some grief to Ben tonight.

I've taken up for him against mostly baseless criticism but tonight.....he earned some grief.

He looked totally disinterested tonight. Defensively I don't think he could have been worse if he'd tried. All that was missing was a red ole' cape, maybe he could have borrowed one from Quick Change. I can't defend the abysmal lack of fire and effort he showed tonight and believe me I would like to....just can't.

All I can hope for is this is a watershed moment for him, to point out he can't just show up and go through the motions and it spurs him on to quit wasting the opportunity and bring the fire...he's too talented to sleepwalk like this.

And 13-6 with its full lineup intact with losses coming on the road to Florida, then ranked 11 Texas A&M, then ranked 24 South Carolina and then ranked No.1 Oklahoma at home. Other then that we lost to Wake Forest and Bama, a team that's projected to make the NCAAT. One player doesn't make a team.

I disagree with "slightly" based on his actual performance and his impact on his team; I don't care about potentials.

Imagine how shitty they would be without Victor. Seriously, there's a good chance they would be 12-14, even with Simmons, if Victor didn't become eligible.

The rest of the team isn't what it should be according to the stats on them coming in. However, at some point ben has to adjust and take over. He refuses to do that and jones doesn't demand it.

Ben puts up insane numbers but he could put up more if he just took over.

Keep blinding yourself on reality regarding the state of the program.

At the end of the day, Ben just doesn't care enough.

I'm not saying he's not trying, but he knows he's gone in a month.
