3/4/2015: at home vs Tenn, and trying to play into or into a higher seed in NCAA's.

3/4/2015: TENN 63-78
3/7/2015 @ark 81-78 Hornsby at the buzzer
3/13/2015 Auburn 70-73(OT) as pathetic as any game this year or last
3/19/2015 NC State 65-66 More pathetic than ANY game this year or last

LSU hoops has not resembled a team since then.

Is this a thread about Shaq tearing down basketball goals?

That game was such an absolute shite show. The only reason I didn't want Johnny fired on the spot was because of Ben and Antonio.

If only we'd known then what we know now.

I felt sick watching Mickey and Quarterman clank all those FTs. Such a terrible feeling watching your team choke knowing you can't do a damn thing.

And that second half was a signature Johnny Jones melt fest. I heard a radio guy say OM ended the game on a 50-19 run or something last night

Lose out and fire him.

Yea. But no excuses are acceptable. Jones recruited all of these kids so personnel can't be excused.

The thing is in a situation like that when all you're doing is shooting fts to end a game you can pull starters and insert your best ft shooters. Idc if they're Walkons you put in nothing but ft shooters and you end the damn game. Jones has never done this not once and it cost him his only NCAA game. We missed our last 18 shots (fgs and fts combined) had we made 1 of those we advance to the next round and probly the sweet 16. NC State blew Nova out in the round of 32.

Especially since NC State bounced Nova..they were ripe for the pickin'...could have been us making a big run

That Auburn game was pathetic. At the time we were not certain we were in, we felt very good that we were, but a loss to a very weak Auburn team on a neutral court would put us right back on the bubble.

Well, we lost and we sweated out the bid and were surprised to get a 9-Seed as none of the brackets had us that high. That was very disappointing.

The Auburn game was a pathetically coached final 3 minutes. I was yelling at the tv at the end of that game.

When Ben Simmons hit campus ant they looked at him to be the leader. He showed them that you can ignore CJJ and he will do nothing about it. They have not recovered since he checked out last year during the season. Watch one and done Showtime special and say or think any differently.

I'm convinced we would've beaten Nova too. God damn missed FTs.
