I want S to chime in about TQ.

If you remember, I was so cheering for that team. I'm such an MBB fanboy, I was like we got this... TQ jacking up shots from 30 ft.

Funny that you mention it bro, I was just thinking about buying this shirt

all this talk about TQ and Blakeney remind me of some good and bad memories from when I was a kid. That tournament loss was fricking painful..

One of my favorite players from that era was Jordan Mickey. Was rooting for him to do well in the NBA

NCAA tournament expanded from 32 teams to 64 in 1985. So it's really dumb to compare how long it took Brown vs Wade to get to the field and to do it 5 times.
Just for the record, both NCAAT and NBA eligibility rules have changed at whims.

It's almost throwing darts at some point.

He wasn’t a bad player but he was much more effective as a slashing wing than he was as a PG. Letting him have the ball in his hands so much hurt us.

Bro I legit think it's the best logo in all of sports. The marketing team for MBB needs to run with it. Plaster that shite everywhere. Uniforms, shirts, posters, cups, mugs, koozies... LSU baseball has their own block letter logo as the main logo. MBB needs to embrace the dunking tiger.

On a little tangent, I would like us to redesign our uniforms. Instead of LSU, I'd like Louisiana above the jersey # and State below it like it was in the late 70s and early 80s. AND PUT THE DUNKING TIGER BACK ON THE SHORTS GOD DAMMIT!

Love the logo idea but I gotta pushback on the unis. Those late 80s early 90s, Shaq and CJ era jerseys were my favorites. The gold had a very unique look to it and so did the purple.

I'd rather those too baw. I'm not a fan of how... I don't know how to put it tbh. Something just doesn't look right with our current jerseys.



They still have the dunking tiger on the shorts so I can't complain

The font sucks and the stripes aren’t great.

I can say the same. I like and respect all you guys. It's nice to have a conversation about hoops and just enjoy the love of LSU basketball.


I'm a sucker for old logos. If you ever see a young baw at a MBB with this shirt and a gold sailor mike hat theres a 95% chance it's me.

I just realized we didn't wear our throwbacks we introduced last year a single time this year. WTF?

But yeah, I dislike how bland they look. The side stripes are far too big (I'm a fan of stripes on the waistband and the cutoff of the shorts) and the numbers are far too small and centered. It looks like they were trying too hard to be modern.

Vandy, Arkansas, Bama all have some sick uniforms. We're kinda middle of the pack SEC wise uniform wise. The grey that aTm and Miss St roll out are such an eyesore

Who has the best win% in program history? Who has the worst win% in the past 60 years? Here’s a hint, they’re our last 2 coaches.


Should have cut it off before 60, because Press Maravich has a lower win percentage (1966-1972, .469) than McMahon (31-35 or .470).

I will say full heartily that I enjoy conversing with you. We need more MBB fans and I know you are. It's a terrific thing for me. For real.

Same. You were the first person to vouch for me on this board and I'll always be appreciative of that.

I like talking to you guys because my IRL friends don't really give a shite about LSU MBB and it sucks. They'll go if I drag them to the games but they don't really care either way
