Definitely improved from last year.

All of a sudden a rebuilding LSU program is supposed to beat everyone??

Obviously they have some defensive issues etc, but why are you holding this team to that high of a standard? You need to get real.

Its not the results, its the effort on the road that has most frustrated, imo

Rhode Island
Alabama
UGA
Texas A&M


Nobody would call any of those teams good. We lost to all of them. LSU is more talented and experienced than any of those teams above.

I don't think that expecting the team to put forth effort in road games is unreasonable.

We arent really "Rebuilding" anymore. This is a full squad with talented players and some experienced guys and we're simply dropping games we shouldn't.

Normally I agree that the Rantards have overly ridiculous expectations of the teams. Normally, I am the one to try to get people to pump the brakes.

However, expecting this team to get at least one win out of the group of Rhode Island, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas A&M is NOT unreasonable. Anyone with any amount of knowledge can see that this is the most talented team that LSU has had since Johnson's first year. Lack of talent is no longer an excuse. I just want someone to guard the other team on the road. NOT an unreasonable expectation.

No, we're supposed to beat clearly worse teams like A&M, Georgia, and Rhode Island.

I vow to never attend a LSU Basketball game until LSU can win on the road, only one SEC Road Win (South Carolina), lost all of the others. Unacceptable. put equal effort Home and Road, you will win 50 % of the road games.

Basketball is one sport where you can turn it around in one recruiting cycle. I think a lot of people believed that had happened.

How??

Look about the same to me and record backs it up.

2012-13... record 19-12 overall, 9-9 in SEC, 4-8 on road, beat 1 ranked team..#17 Mizzou

2013-14... so far 15-9 overall, 6-5 in SEC, 2-5 on road, beat 1 ranked team..#11 Kentucky

Still play shitty D and a terrible half court O.

Except for Florida, most of the SEC has been 1 game apart from each other. They are all mediocre teams. I dont see us "clearly" better than A&M or UGA. The records were similar before and after those games.

I think since we upset UK at home it's not unreasonable to think that we can go to UGA, Bama, Ole Miss, and A&M and win at least a couple of those games.

Hickey himself said he would disappointed if they went to the NIT. So I guess the players have unreasonable expectations too.

how does that dispute his post? A rebuilding team tends to be inconsistent

Hell, Kentucky is a basketball powerhouse and lost to us

Did I say that?

I'm disappointed, but I also realize that we're trying to rebuild a program here

I'm going to give JJ a few years to bring in his talent and make changes before I destroy him
