6 games, and he was there for the blowout loss to Wichita state and the first loss to Tulane in 25+ years. And the team was 7-6 before the first game he missed.

and Tasmin Mitchell didn't play after the 3rd game of the season



And Anthony Randolph played the entire season.



to be honest, comparing season to season is retarded anyway no matter which side of the coin you're arguing. Sports just don't work like that.

I just wish I could've acted like a retard in the front row of he student section. Then my knowledge would know no bounds as yours clearly does


oh! getting personal! you must be a real tough guy. god forbid students cheer for their team!

If you believe the team is doing well this year, this simply doesn't make sense.



ok ok... he recruited a couple decent guys. He just couldn't do anything with them. This team would have 2 losses already with TJ still here and you know that shite is true.

btw, are you eellessuuu's alter? You know, the guy I responded to saying HE didn't know shite about LSU basketball yet you quoted it like I was talking to you?

Normally no. But in this case, we are literally swapping one player for another player, with essentially the same stats. As I said earlier I can concede Mitchell's edge in experience was more valuable than Randolph's edge in talent, enough for a couple games of improvement. But not +14 games. Not enough for a team to go from not making the NIT to would have been sweet 16 had they not gotten such a shitty seed.

You did it as well. My method was more direct, the intended meaning was the same.

Actually I don't. Despite popular, unfounded opinion, last yearJohnson's team OOC beat the teams they were supposed to beat, the way they were supposed to beat them, with the exception of South Alabama and won multiple games against respectable teams. So far this years team has beaten the teams they are supposed to beat, the way they were supposed to beat them, with the exception of NW St, and beaten 1 semi-respectable team.

The quality of the schedule up to this point is pretty terrible, there is no reason to think they couldn't be 6-0 with Johnson. I'll concede they would not have been as fun and exciting to watch, but that doesn't automatically mean they lose games.
