Oh please..................
10K per game is not the standard for a great following. Its women's basketball. It's not going to garner the SAME following that men's basketball does. But to try and assert that no one cares, and that there's no potential to build the fan base, means someone is either blind to what the team did during it's elite years, or just doesn't want the program to succeed. During those years, the LSU women's basketball program was top ten in attendance in the nation on more than one occasion. What is wrong with striving to reach that kind of following? Averaging 10k per game is a little unfair.......................especially since the men's team at LSU rarely does.
If there's "indifference" its because the team hasn't been winning. Not because there's "no interest". Then again, what do you define as "interest"?

First of all plenty of us care about WBB, so the old thread of "who cares" can go somewhere else. No, it is not for most (me included) near as important as football, but as others have said, LSU built a real power in WBB in past 10 or so years and many of us "care" that it continues.
I know FGU is a solid mid major and while I hated losing to them I can accept it, the losses to Tulane (two times in a row now) and hampton were simply bad losses. However, the team's turn around from 4-6 in SEC is awesome and shows great talent and heart and coaching. No, just as I got heat for making too early negatives against Saint Caldwell, I have said all along she needs 3-4 years to see her true worth. To date I am satisfied with on the court product (was not when we were 4-6) but do feel strongly the assistant coach arrest needs to be addressed and that attitude of the other coaches is not appropriate. Have laid out my reasons many times, but will say as long as we win big, not sure any of the other stuff matters as much. Time will tell on NC, but past few weeks have been awesome. And $700k is NOT too much for a top 5 top coach if that is what she turns out to be.

from 2005-06 season where we go 31-4 and make third straight final four

Lady Tigers are second to Tennessee
among Southeastern Conference schools."

next season when we go back to final four and still have big syl
