re: Andy Katz predicts LSU won’t make the NCAA tournament.

Personally, I would love to still have wade as a coach. Although he often lived and died by the same sword, his recruiting success also made it difficult to balance a roster for a complete team. He never had a whole lot of turnover, but he was pretty good at talent evaluation, which plays well in the portal era.
I try not to be too distraught about this year. And I honestly see a team more equipped than last year to compete in the SEC. Although if I’m honest, I was wrong about how good we were last year. I thought we were a 7-9 conference win team.
I feel our guards are more competent this year, but I also feel like perhaps their leash is a bit too long with McMahon. Sometimes I look at the rotations and question them. But I can acknowledge I don’t know who works best together when the team reaches their on court rhythm. I still don’t believe we finish with a worse conference record than last year.
