Was nova a perennial power before wright went there?

They did have a national title before Wright got there. In the 10 years prior to Wright's arrival, Nova went to the tourney 6 times. LSU has been to the tournament 6x since 1993. This program could only dream of going to the tourney 6 times in a decade. I'm not sure its fair to look back to Dale's run in the 80s and early 90s. CBB is totally different now than it was back then.

No doubt that Jay Wright has taken them to another level but its clear that program was in a much better place than LSU is now. Its also worth noting that Wright won a title in his 16th year with the program. Seeing some of the posts on this board about basketball expectations, you clowns probably would have run him off long before he made it to his 16th season.

LSU can do much better than Jones. That is clear.
