I didn't see much of the game last night, but Alcorn has lost to:
FSU (who lost @UF by 2) by 32
Minnesota by 45
Maryland by 20
LSU by 26
I don't see a reason for panic based on the above; however this is the first time Alcorn has scored 80. Need to see some improvement in the defense.

Why would Wade come back? He’d be a moron to do so
He's earning less than McMahon right now. LSU could/would give him a much bigger contract than he has at NC State now (though I'm sure NC State would step up if they had to)
He's lived 7 of the last 8 years in Louisiana. He has an established network of donors/boosters in place. He could pick up right where he left off at LSU. The booster and fans didn't want to see him go.
The administration that fired him has been forced out in favor of a familiar President.
The SEC is in a much better spot than the ACC financially, and that gap is growing larger. No one is trying to leave the SEC. There are schools trying to get out of the ACC.
I'm not saying it happens, but there are multiple compelling reasons for him to return to LSU.

So you’re mad that LSU basketball isn’t winning by enough, but they’re scoring better than they ever had and are undefeated. Sounds like a dumb thing to complain about.

That's probably an overly broad generalization. Give the level of competition, LSU SHOULD be undefeated. Anything less would be a very major concern. LSU's offense, on the whole, has been really good. Probably the best MM's has had at LSU in the very limited sample size.
But while there are encouraging signs for the offense. There are also concerning signs with the defense. Alcorn is going to be one of the worst teams LSU plays this season...and they scored with relative ease last night. It wasn't enough to truly threaten LSU because of the offensive play and talent discrepancy. However, beating the Alcorn State's, FIU's, UNO's of the world is not the goal. Particularly for a coach that has been really, really bad in his time at LSU. So it's not unreasonable to think "this is ok now. But is it foreshadowing a big problem once the competition level increases significantly?"
I don't see it as much of "complaint" as a potential area of concern for later on.

This Tiger team looks solid, we will find out the middle of next month if we are a tournament team. You are a hater and do not watch the games only the box score. Sad.

These aren’t quality wins.
They’re a few Quad 4 and possibly a Quad 3 win right now. We’ll get a better chance to see where CoachMc has the team in a few weeks.

A lot of people on here somehow think that high ranking opponents should dominate every mediocre/bad team. We even go as far as having a meltdown at halftime of games with small leads to inferior opponents. Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida have already struggled with bad opponents. I'm not talking about just for a half either. We're talking barely edging out people by single digits, and here we are thinking LSU should blow out every one of them. Coincidentally, they have. So now what?

LSU has played 2 decent teams so far. UCF in exhibition game and UNO. Held both to 58 and 68 points. They did not show up defensively last night and should be criticized for that but a lot of these higher ranked teams have struggled with supposed cupcakes on their roster early. How else do you explain Auburn needing overtime to beat #288 ranked Bethune Cookman.Do they suck? Well they lost to #2 Houston by 1 point. So although I believe LSU needs to be consistent in their defense I also understand that it's basketball and a team can get hot like Alcorn did combined with LSU playing uninspired defense although LSU did pick it up the last 5 minutes of the game when it needed to. We will see what we have soon enough after Thanksgiving. But to troll Mcmahon because Alcorn played with us for 3/4 of the game,but never in control, is a little over the top.

You can disagree without name calling, I'll be glad to go into further detail on issues that I think transcend half-assing because of the level of competition.
I think I listed a couple - another was we had a HUGE advantage in size so we just took it inside against an inferior opponent over and over, something we will not be able to do against the better teams we played, so I'd have rather maybe worked more on the things we will need to do against better teams.
I have more if you want to discuss.

Alcorn scored 80 because they had the shooting night of their lives. They were bombing in deep three's all night long, high difficulty turnaround jumpers, and I still don't know how a layup thrown straight up in the air fell through the hoop. At the same time, LSU. had a really bad night shooting threes and missed a lot of point blank shots under the basket.
Mind you we still scored 107 points and won by 26. If we can do that on a bad shooting night from three, I think we should be praised. Yes the defense needs to tighten up and the play was sloppy at times. It's still very early in the season. And trying to compare wins and losses and relative scores with other teams is just foolish.

You could be right but as I said in an earlier post, I am going to ignore the coach if possible and concentrate on this team. They deserve our support, certainly in the early going, no matter who the coach is. For four years now, all we talk about is McMahon. We know who the guy is by now so just let it go and let's talk basketball and players. This isn't against you Alt it is about the whole board. Criticize him when you need to but to pull against the team because you want him fired is less than low.
Posted on 11/19/25 at 1:47 pm to Tom Bronco
True fans aren’t pulling against the team/players because they don’t like CoachMc’s lack of success. In fact, it’s the opposite that real fans want the players and team to succeed and CoachMc to step up and actually be successful at LSU.
Sometimes that’s difficult to express on a message board when you have posters at every opportunity ignoring facts and doing everything they can to justify a 14-40 SEC record. That spills over to come across negative when in actuality it’s realism vs. pretend land.

You've completely missed the point. I never once trolled MM. My point was, if other teams "better than us" are barely getting by lower tier opponents and we are blowing them out, why do we continually get shite on by our own fan base, when better teams can't beat those teams as handily as we do? It's basketball, these things happen is my other point.
We have fans freaking out by a 5 point halftime lead. Won the game by 26.
We have fans freaking out about rebounding. Won that battle 43-28.
What gives?
Can't we just enjoy a potential new era of LSU basketball? This is clearly the best team we've had in awhile.

The answer is pretty simple. McMahon, through his dismal 3 year record, doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. This COULD be a great team, or maybe his best team. But unless you just want to go largely on blind optimism, there's not really enough info to suggest it is. So people are only left to rely largely upon what they DO know, and that is that McMahon has lost....a lot!
If in 3 weeks LSU is pounding (marginally better competition and beats (or just competes closely) with Texas Tech, then you will start to see optimism grow. But right now the general consensus is that "we've seen this story before and know how it ends. Maybe the story is a little better this time. But it's still largely the same."
The great news is that if McMahon doesn't like that "cloud of negativity" surrounding his program he has the power to change it. Show you can consistently beat major conf. teams. That's really all anyone is looking for

Truth is we’ll just have to wait and see. At least they’re taking care of business, of course there are questions and similar negative signs but with the level of comp there’s just not much to glean from it other than enjoying wins.

Who do we traditionally play the first 4 games? Easy teams every year, so it’s a valid comparison.
