LSU student support for basketball

isnt the team pathetic?

Attendance mirrors results.

exactly. You support your school/team no matter what. End of story. What's to say if the BB players felt more appreciated, it might inspire them to play above their head.

Why are we surprised? LSU with exception of brief periods here and there has never been a basketball school. I think too many of you went to school during the Shaq and Chris Jackson eras so your point of reference is skewed. If we had a Shaq or CJ playing, then you would see a fuller PMAC.

A greater percentage are sitting above in seats for comfort and because they don't want to be seen with the freaks at court level.

Yea, I actually don't even sit in the student section anymore. I go sit in seats at midcourt because no one is there.

winning fixes everything

good point --regular attendance from the TAF douchebags is also pathetic

Negative.

I remember in the 80s, even when LSU had mediocre teams in the years surrounding the two final fours (82-88), the Assembly Center would be packed most nights, especially for SEC games. We're talking sellouts, or near-sellouts. A Tuesday evening game v. a run-of-the-mill Auburn team would routinely pull 12-15k fans.

I think the bottom dropped out after Chris Jackson left, and has only gotten worse.

I personally think it's because the fans don't really have time to "bond" with a team because the really good players leave after a year. The makeup of teams changes so much every year, you can't keep up.

We got to watch the core of the 81 and 86 teams from freshman to seniors. We were invested in those teams emotionally. But now, who gives a shite.

It's just the nature of college basketball these days.

I blame shitty internet posters like chiefs like me

its too fricking cold outside
