Back 2 Back!!! W MF W has turned LSU into a basketball school.

The football team isn’t winning any championships anytime soon. Hell, they are still trying to just score on Bama. Truth hurts.

Basketball's Sweet 16 finish isn't indicative of what Wade is capable of. Because he wasn't allowed to coach the post-season due to the idiots in admin at the time. It is possible we would have won it all if Wade were coaching.

Looks like the media learned nothing from last year, when they criminally underrated LSU in the preseason, and then took forever to acknowledge the Tigers after they started slaying the SEC.

The lesson was that Will Wade can coach. And there is more than enough talent on this team, with Wade at the helm, to be at least a top 15 team, IMO. If we can get Dante, then I think we become legitimate title contenders again.

A lot of things can happen to throw everything off, but I wouldn't be betting against this team.

I've been a diehard LSU fb and men's bb since 1978. If you've been one longer, congrats.

LSU basketball won the SEC
LSU football finished 5th in the SEC

If you can’t understand which had a better season you’re flat out stupid.

I really need to see what Wade is going to do about the PF and C positions. We lose so much beef with Reid and KBW, and we don't exactly have the 3point shooters to run a guard-heavy lineup.

Mays needs to be more consistent from 3. I know he can shoot. Smart needs to be much much better from distance, and A more in control player overall. He needs to learn to make that extra pass that he failed to last year, instead forcing bad shots.

Interested to see what Hyatt can do. Wade claims he's a good shooter. Also remember Wade is the ultimate program seller. He's trying to get butts in the seats, he did that last year with a few guys who werent quite as advertised.

Finally, Wade's suspension more than likely hurt his ability to replenish the post, but lets hope he can piece something together before the season starts.

Let me dumb it down for you. As will Wade heads into year 3, it appears he won't crack preseason top 20. Was hoping to be moving forward, not backwards.


If winning the SEC is going backwards, let’s keep going backwards.

Lol, what a joke. We are definitely a top 20 basketball team next season starting out. We have loads of talent coming back off of an sec title team. Add Watford and our other new players and i really think we will be a better team than last season's.

I've been saying for months on here that given what we lost and what we return and add (hopefully including Dante), we will be as good and prob better than last year. I think people forget that 90% of players are better each year they are in the program, especially Wade's program.

Florida has a great roster but mike White isn’t good enough to be a top 5 team.


Can't agree there, IMHO White is a good coach. Outcoached Wade in the game here last year and WW said as much. I think they worked us for 3 easy goals on inbound out of bound plays, was ultimately the difference.

Having said all that I'm not trading him for WW...but in my view he is good enough.
