re: How does actually winning an LSU MBB game end up pissing people off?

You do realize your primary audience are trolls and idiots right? They'd rather bitch and be right than see any success.

I know.

My primary audience whenever I talk MBB know who they are. I drive by others intentionally.

I think most are happy LSU won. There's just concern that McMahon may do just well enough, although still abysmal, for Woodward to not pull the trigger in firing him after this year. Which will just prolong the mediocrity instead of ripping the bandaid off and making a much needed change.

Wouldn't worry.

We are fixing to lose 3 straight again.

We have 5 win opportunities left on the schedule

You people are the biggest pieces of shite who post here. “Oh, I hope they lose every game so they can fire the coach!”

fricking pathetic.

yes, I give them a pass though....they will mature and gain wisdom. It is the emotionally unstable older people that make me go wow.

The ultimate turning point of the game was when the event workers dropped 50+ hot dogs tied to little parachutes from the rafters for the hungry crowd.

Actually, even that was a screw up … should have been corn dogs.

As Nick Saban said about LSU fans, they have “catastrophe syndrome”. Here it is again!

But you realize that Arkansas has NBA athletes on that roster and we just physically beat them right? We didn’t shoot the lights out, we beat them in the paint and at the rim so I don’t wanna hear the “muh no talent” nonsense anymore.

I'm starting to believe you are on to something. That is, the Kelvin Sampson way of doing things. Not that I did not believe it. I just did not notice it until you pointed it out.

Yep. Where is the poster that said Mcmahon only wins when he has a talent advantage. Ark may be underperforming but they have NBA prospects on their roster and calipari is a championship coach. And no matter what the ignorant haters say, Reed would have helped this team win 2-3 more games so far. I criticized MM for not giving Williams more PT based on the play of Sears/Givens lately. Looks like he figured that out. Curious to see what he does when Miller comes back moving forward.

I'm not 100% willing to go that far considering Reed has ALWAYS been inconsistent. But his presence certainly wouldn't have hurt.

It's ridiculous Williams and Fountain, two guys who HAVE contributed in multiple SEC games, were, until last night, getting little to no minutes this year. I'm not saying you don't continue to play Givens and R. Miller. But nothing they have done this year justifies them getting, in many cases, significant minutes while Williams/Fountain got virtually none.

I said this in another thread. R. Miller may one day be a good player. He isn't now. He doesn't rebound. He doesn't defend. He doesn't score. The best thing he does is hurt people on terribly executed screens. Reed is a "what if" this year because he's not available. But, IMO, LSU has a very strong chance of winning the Vanderbilt game if McMahon wasn't so obtuse that he couldn't figure out why his team was losing that game. Miller played 20 minutes that night. He played the final 11 minutes of the second half. In those 20 minutes he had 2 points, 1 rebound, and 4 fouls. LSU significantly outshot Vandy (from a FG% perspective). What lost them the game was getting their arse kicked on the glass. Yet, McMahon left a guy on the bench (Fountain) who we know will at least give you effort defensively and on the glass. Last night Fountain had 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and was 6-6 from the FT line. It's the FT line where LSU won the game offensively.

While Fountain and Williams didn't exactly light up the scoreboard, they gave you a defensive presence. They gave you effort on the glass. They gave you experienced play late in a tight game. They went a combined 9-10 from the FT line.

McMahon's feel for the flow of the game and finding the right personnel to fit the game has been downright awful in his LSU tenure. The worst I've ever seen from any LSU coach. Hopefully, last night will be one of those moments (like when he was forced to play Chest vs Kansas St) where he fell arse-backwards into getting the right personnel on the floor in the right moments and will continue to play the right guys going forward.
