Discussion is always fun and good, but here are a couple of things you may not realize:

1. This season, we are what they thought we were. Buckle up through '23.

2. SEC basketball is literally top notch, and looks like it's a takeover regardless of NCAA outcome.

3. Tari Eason is like really, really good. NBA first road pick talent. That's one thing Brady did well (maybe better than Wade). He made true talent shine. Wade likes team ball.

4. Will Wade is a good coach trying to get this team to refine their identity. Still a lot of time to get our tigers out of this rut

C'mon man, this has been the motto for the last 3 years since the sweet 16 run.

No, it hasn't. And you're counting the pandemic year.

Take a look around the ncaa. In good basketball conferences, they beat each other up.

Not lazy... Wade's a decent coach.

But he's been here 5 years, has had good recruiting classes and we're still just a decent team. At some point, we can't keep saying "yeah, well Wade took over a terrible situation."

Meanwhile, Bruce Pearl took over a shite situation at Auburn, put them in an even shittier situation, and already dug them out of it and has them as a national title contender. Point being, it doesn't have to take long to rebuild in basketball.

Not really sure what they want in terms of body of work. Regular season SEC titles nor Sweet 16s grow on trees for anybody besides UK.

Agreed. So the “Will Wade is perfect and can do no wrong” crowd needs to stop acting like Wade is doing something remarkable.

Wade likes team ball.


What? Offensively we look like a bunch of undisciplined street ballers who are trying to impress their girlfriend.

Will Wade is a good coach trying to get this team to refine their identity.


“Refine” or “Find”? Either way, we’re too deep into the season for this to be excusable.

He's made us into a playoff team. He'll collect the right team. Maybe as soon as next season.

Oh, look what he's done with Pinson. SEC transfer who comes to lsu from a prior life basketball school.

A coach that can’t get his team to play disciplined basketball isn’t a good coach.

Vandy just took it to UK for most of that game.

Florida beat Auburn today (we beat Florida).

1. I’m a die hard fan of all LSU sports

2. We don’t have to prejudice-related assign fans to specific sports

3. It’s ok if some fans rather some sports over others, yet have reservations about other sports that they may not have as a thorough education about.

4. Geaux Tigers

He has recruited talent no doubt. He can't coach it for shite...look no further past today. LSU was light years ahead of SC in talent. I actually felt sorry for them...until they beat us.

South Carlolina is very well coached, and they are a bubble team who needed such a win. They'll be last 4 in tomorrow.

This should be the floor.

Again, this was said last year.

I still think Wade's best years are in front of him, but you can't ignore the fact that the last two seasons have began with huge expectations because of the recruiting/transfer class only to not live up to those expectations and getting a meh at-large bid in the tourney which means we're playing a 2 or 3 seed in the second round.
