re: One thing that the McMen cannot deny is that excitement around the program is non existent

There are plenty of fans in the middle that loved Will Wade but also want McMahon to succeed. We can understand the issues with Wade and why he was let go but we also refuse to prop up bad results as a moral victory. I want a good basketball program and thus far, McMahon has not provided that.

I mostly agree here. I think there are some differences for people about "moral victories" I had no expectations regarding LSU winning or even being in the game vs Tennessee. so was not surprised at the score but disappointed a bit when I did tune in (I was late tuning in) and the team was already double digits behind.

But they mainly kept pace from the point I tuned in and made a run then seemed to collapse and give up everything they gained plus a bit. I was pleased they didn't quit but disappointed they started turning the ball over again and taking ill-advised shots. The way I describe this game looks like most of us who want LSU to do better would approach MM and WW. I can support and criticize them in the same paragraph without irrationally loving or hating either one. And I get tired of people glowing about one and pissing on the other.
