re: This is an LSU Basketball thread... and apologies to anyone I offend.

No one is saying this is a championship level roster. And, once again, NO ONE is or ever was expecting this roster to compete at the top of the SEC. But they simply aren’t competing at all. (Now) 10 straight losses. All but one by double-digits. And that one was to a last place team missing a leading scorer who had not won on the road all season.

If LSU were sitting at something like 4-6 in SEC play with some hard fought losses to the likes of Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, etc, you could say McMahon was probably getting the best he could out of the roster. But that’s not the case.

Was the LSU football roster completely devoid of talent in 2020 and 2021? No. Less than 2019 for sure. But not horrible. Yet they had bad results on the field because of bad coaching. Then, a competent HC came in, with probably a worse roster than in 20 or 21, and won immediately.

That’s what is happening here. This roster should be competing in the middle of the SEC. Instead, we are thankful South Carolina is so bad that LSU can make the claim they are not quite the worst team in the league
