I used to watch basketball when ricky blanton played, Vernel Singleton wore a band-aid , and Chris Jackson coming down the court between the legs shot behind the arch.. when football season was down.You always look forward to basketball... I remember as a kid having a battery power radio tuned in 870 am while sitting in a shooting house deer hunting in Greenville,Al.

Nowadays it doesn't do it for me. When Coach Wade was here It gave me a second wind.. And it gave me a reason to watch Lsu Basketball.

Hopefully the future is bright and hopefully the general comes back

I think I’ve watched a total of 15 game minutes since Wade was fired.

Not a whole game because it seems like every time I try to watch we're getting our asses kicked so I turn it off.

I can’t even remeber the last LSU basketball game I watched (for even a second). A long time before Wade. Maybe the SEC tourny in Orlando when Shaq was playing?

I watched plenty the first couple years under McMahon, probably didnt miss many games at all

Then last year was brutal, absolutely lost me somewhere in SEC play.

This year I watched a few game sbut realized it was looking like more of the same and havent watched more than maybe a few minutes of SEC play

It's crazy how interest in the program is at an all time low as long as I've been watching. Literally like 1k fans show up to the games now, pretty sad

I watched through the Trent Johnson and Johnny Jones eras, but would rather watch some random youtube videos at night at this point than watch McMahon's team play

This is me. LSU basketball isn't serious about winning, why should I waste my time? I also stopped going out of my way to watch LSU football while BK torpedoed the program last year, in cased anyone was wondering if I'm consistent.

If they bring him back for another year the excitement level around the program will be on par with watching a sloth run a marathon.

I don’t think I watched a single snap of A&M and Bama and was okay with it.

It might kill the program for good. You can’t keep giving the middle finger to your fans and expect them to keep coming back.

That's pretty brutal. May I ask why? Did you know the future

You're proving the point I made about McMahon. There's a large segment of the fanbase who was never going to support him no matter what he did because they're obsessed with the last coach.

About 6 or 7 whole games. A lot of partial games because the wife says, can we watch something else. And I'm like, sure. That never happened under Wade.

Winning would have made it easier for people to forget the last coach but I guess we'll never know.

Losing 52 SEC games in less than 4 years has nothing to do with the lack of support. Nothing, I tell you.
