re: Men’s Basketball Program

I don't remember anyone on this board (including me) or in the media expecting LSU to do as well in the SEC regular season as we did this season. That is why I believe McMahon got as much as can be expected from his roster. McMahon underperformed his roster last season IMO.

There are few, if any, of players on our roster that would start on most other SEC teams. Some of our players receiving significant minutes would not get much playing time on most other SEC teams. We need more horses to compete.

But I expect LSU basketball to be in the top half of the SEC year in and year out. It can be done. We have all seen it done in the recent past.

McMahon has room to improve as a coach as people have suggested. I believe that the biggest need for the program is better players at a number of positions. Paint presence, rim protection, rebounding, an above average point guard, etc. are all things that we need.
