re: LSU should be a perennial basketball power

Well Mcelwain has been there 2 years and has 2 sec title game appearances losing his qb in both seasons. So it's safe to say the jury has decided he's a pretty damn good coach. And if you look into both Donovan and Whites careers pre Florida it's pretty easy to tell they were sure things. As far as Florida having no pedigree that too is incorrect. I know most ppl here's sports knowledge starts post 2000 but Florida was a winning basketball program from 83 to 89. They were the SECs best team from 1986 to 1989 with Livingston Chatman and Dwayne Shintzus, even before Lon Kruger took over and brought them to a final 4 in 94. Might wanna do some fact checking next time.
