re: Current SEC Kenpom MBB rankings, LSU is 9th in SEC.

You fit in perfectly with the mcmen

Lmfao, kinda like when we were a week away from canceling the season because one of you was best friends with a coach and knew about it? Or when the mcmen knew for a fact that Arkansas basketball spent more than Ohio State football on NIL last season? You people are incapable of honesty.

No

well keep bringing us some inside information and knowledge. It is appreciated.

“WW created some hype, but wasn't much on deep runs”


And how was that hype created?

Maybe it’s the alltime best win%?

Maybe it’s qualifying for the Big Dance in 4 of 5 seasons?

Maybe it’s only losing once in the 1st round?

Maybe it’s the SEC championship?

Maybe it’s having that type of success compared to the previous 2 guys and the succeeding coach failing historically?


And BTW it took Brown 7 seasons to even make the Tourney so your standards don’t appear to be consistent.

False, boomer.

A lot of our “basketball fans” don’t watch basketball in general and only watch Saturday SEC games when it comes to LSU. I say this to make the comparison of Brian Kelly in football. We just fired a guy who’s had at least some success and fans were almost unanimously on board for that decision because they watch the games and they see the chronic problems. In basketball they don’t watch so they can’t see it and just about every mcmen wouldn’t know what good was because they’re not actually basketball fans. So you get this abstract defense of MM based on off of the court reasoning which is why their arguments look so silly.

I like that one guy talking about draconian sanctions when we lost 1 scholarship, 12 instead of 13 for two years.

All of this is accurate. They just see 11-1 and think all is good to go. I will give props for the SMU win. That was a good one. Texas Tech was a disaster that we have seen multiple times under McMahon. The cupcake wins do not give an accurate reading.

However, both the Boston College and Prairie View games had disturbing aspects that will burn this team come conference time. Those games resulted in wins so that’s all the McMen care about.

Would LSU football fans feel good about a last second field goal win in Tiger Stadium against Oregon State? Same principle applies in hoops. For whatever reason, McMahon is never held accountable by some on here.

I’m looking very forward to SEC play. It will be extremely telling.

I’m kind of in the camp of not being able to tell because we’ve only played 2 games of any real note.

This is why it's so hard to predict our SEC record. We've all debated on here about the arse beating LSU took against the only great team they've played so far this season in Tech... SMU was a good win but by the end of the season I expect SMU to be a low Quad 2 team after their ACC schedule. What has been most disappointing is how we've performed against many of our garbage opponents so far. LSU has pulled away in the end in many of these, but they were all on our home court with SEC refs playing 6th man many times. I want McMahon to succeed and make the tournament this season, but having watched a lot of non-conference SEC basketball, I don't see how this is possible.
