Watching the Louisville game right now and the crowd is fantastic. FSU is very much a football/baseball school and similar in basketball to LSU, probably a bit of a lesser program historically.

All of you "expert" Tiger fans who proclaim that fan support could never be there for LSU basketball should turn this game on. If FSU can draw a crowd like this then there is no doubt that LSU can too and has in the past.

This shouldn't even have to be debated on here but unfortunately so many arrogant morons who like to speak in absolutes and spout that LSU fans will never turn out for basketball make it a necessity.

Being in the best basketball conference in the land doesn't hurt.

LSU has drawn crowds like this. Also, look who they are playing.

The problem with LSU is not with the fans.

I think you need to take a step back and think about it before you post. I'm not sure if you know this, but Louisville is one of the top 5 BB programs in the country. They won the National Title a few years ago and have one of the biggest named coaches in the country in Pitino. They pretty much sell out every place they go to in the country. If Louisville came to LSU to play, we would sell out as well.

Oh yeah, FSU is 17-2 and ranked #7 in the country. That helps bring people in too..

If LSU was playing Louisville during a year where we were actually good we would have an outstanding crowd also. This thread is dumb.

Who says this? LSU has already proven it can fill the PMAC. It did for many years when it was a good product.

Win and fans will show up.

We could be just like FSU right now. It's frustrating not having a big game on Saturday's that means something.

I don't know anything about FSU basketball. I do know that our team has given up, our coach sucks and our administration doesn't seem to give a frick. So I'd be more inclined to go watch FSU as well...

LSU supports a winner...put a good product on the court & the fans will come.

Gymnastics proves this

LSU consistently played high-level basketball and drew a lot of fans from the late 70s-early 90s. Several conference championships, 2 Final Fours, several Sweet 16s. NCAA tourney almost every year.

We were a legit program then, and can be again. All the people claiming that we can't be a basketball school are just dead wrong, and probably very young.

Dude FSU has 1, maybe 2 NBA lottery picks. Not to mention they are a Top 10 ranked school who will make some noise in March. Of course people will go watch this team

FSU has a good team. Back in the day when the Tigers were good the PMAC was pretty full

Here's an idea. If you want to spend your time and money going to watch bad sports entertainment, be my guest. Meanwhile, quit acting like there's some sort of problem because others have better use for their time.

You spend your time and money your way and I'll spend my money and time my way.

Everyone here knows LSU basketball can put butts in the seats since it's been accomplished previously. FSU is having a great year and their fans are responding in kind. Given a better product the same would happen in Baton Rouge.
