No disrespect, but why does everyone keeps saying if the tourney started today LSU is a lock.Thats an irrelevant statement because guess what the tourney does not start today.


If LSU loses out, we won’t make the tournament

Congrats? As of now, we’re well positioned to get in with some wiggle room

And to your motivation statement, coaches at all levels are constantly looking to motivate their players, especially during a long season. That shouldn’t be surprising

Assuming LSU will lose most of their remaining games because they hit a rough stretch is as dumb as assuming LSU would win most of their remaining games because they had a good start to conference play.

All three parts of the following sentence can be true-
LSU is a flawed team, but they are in a good spot and will likely make the tournament.

What win do we have that proves we belong in the NCAA tourney? We don’t have any good wins, we have a few bad losses, and then we can’t take advantage of our opportunities whenever we do have a chance to get a good win.



We’re comparatively better than the competition for those spots

You said we don’t have the wins to be in the tournament. That would imply that we would need to go and beat quality teams to get in. Obviously, we can’t afford to go lose games, but we don’t have to earn our way in.

They will barely make the big dance. They will lose in the first game if the SEC and then sneak in the tourney only to disappoint. This team just doesn't have it.

When is the last time LSU basketball made the tourney two years in a row? What you outlined above is not as bad a scenario as some people think.

Believe 05-06

At worst it gets guys tourney experience. We lost a lot of talent plus the recruits with the end of last year. Consistently making the tournament was the goal in rebuilding the program imo with a nice run every couple of years. Wade just skipped a step and won the conference in year 2 raising the expectations (which isn’t a bad thing)

The fact that this board is melting like this just shows how far the program has come under him. We can beat or lose to anyone in the country right now. Get Manning up to speed and hopefully we can go on a run

So. This team has some potential. They are being coached poorly as of this point. And as far as making the tourney???? Just look at last night's crowd for a must win game..... Sad.

His arse needs a wake up call to motivate them to play at least a semblance of defense.

They do. We also have glaring holes especially with the Manning injury

Maybe the past few weeks after greatly overachieving the first half. I’d say 4th is where expectations should be based on this roster, our size, injures, etc.

What does this even mean? How is that related?

It means that it would be nice for the team to have a noisy home crowd.

Agreed. They won’t have a home crowd in the tourney though

Not sure what you're referring to. It was a full house if not noisy. The team played like shite the first 14 minutes of the second half.
Unless you're talking about people leaving early which was a disgrace.
I told a few bitchers to sit the fuq down and stay...they didn't listen though.

There's no excuse for poor coaching! Even the games we barely won, we should have won by double digits if we had a coach that knew how to make adjustments during the game. If this team wins anymore games, it will be because we have more talent, not because of coaching!

That's assuming they still give a shite. Given their questionable effort on defense in the second half, I would not arse-u-me anything.
