Think our roster construction was a bit odd. I think it makes sense for Bailey and Ward to be on the court at the same time. Issue is that means Carter or Sears would have to ride the bench

In the southland???
what games are you watching????
Sincere Parker put up 19 points against Alabama a top 10 team in the country!!!! McNeese lost to one of the top teams in the country by 8 points.....Tell me you don't follow college basketball without telling me....

A couple years ago, Derek Fountain scored 26 on Bama.
He is a player that you've lumped in with guys who "aren't dawgs" "wouldn't play at McNeese" etc etc. Yet he had a good scoring outing against a good team. It happens.

right and Alabama took LSU to the m'fn' wood shed!!!! Like they always do!!!
Again it was an 8 point game and Sincere held his own.....
LSU basketball inside the PMAC will be a morgue the rest season....The roster needs overhauling and the coach needs to go.

His name is Dji bailey not DJ Bailey. You can't even get the man's name right on your team and you're telling me I don't follow college basketball.

Totally understand Wards position but from a team construction aspect McMahon should know that his only positive since being in the SEC is he’s had some good offensive performances so to bench your best returning offensive player for a glue guy is crazy from the coach’s POV. Bailey would’ve worked really well as a 6th man but instead we lose our most talented scorer and our offense stinks.

I didn’t mind the roster if you’re going to use your depth and athleticism but we don’t do that.

No doubt. Not defending McMahon. It's bad we've had a player quit every year. Something is going on behind the scenes for sure.

Well you see that was what I thought we would do. Play fast, physical, and be a defensive team. That is so clearly what the identity should be when you look at this roster top to bottom. But yet we don't play like that at all.

We had a chance to get the lead late that game from a go ahead 3 that Cam Hayes missed. We lost by 10. Which for that season wasn't that bad

Remind me how many points he just scored against Houston Christian?
What about South Dakota State?
Santa Clara?
Players have big games against better schools all the time. Obvious example, Jack Gohkle had what 32 points on Kentucky in the tourney last year? He had a very similar PPG average to Parker as well. Does that mean Oakland was insanely talented?

No shite. McMahon needs to go. We seem to only disagree on the roster. The roster is fine. We don't play to our strengths.

And you know what this all just proves your logic is so, so bad. You're hyping up MID MAJOR talent at McNeese yet downplaying how other SEC schools feast off of MID MAJOR talent that they get via the portal.
There's no arguing with you dude.

quote:Is Ward some sort of All-SEC player I don't know about? There are all sorts of reasons that Ward might come off the bench behind a 5th year senior like Bailey to start the season. If Ward plays well and showed some grit on defense, he likely would have been in the starting lineup by conference play. Maybe even with Bailey.
Well no, it’s on McMahon. You don’t bench a player like Ward for a player like Bailey. It can’t always be someone else’s fault when the common denominator is the same guy

Ward and Bailey should have started together. Their games are foils of one another. Ward is a good shooter and scorer, while not being the best defender. Bailey is a poor shooter but a good finisher and plays gritty defense. To me it makes sense to play them together alongside a lead guard.

I wonder if LSU should look to go with the P4 assistant route? There are probably some good assistants at big programs that should not command top dollar but would be good at a P4 HC opportunity.
Aside from one year at Tennessee, McMahon has only coached at the mid major level (and it shows). I was wary when I found out that he came through the ranks under Buzz Peterson of all people. Buzz doesn’t have the same coaching tree as a Pitino, Self, etc.

Ward did play well, did you watch last season?

It shows you the talent on McNeese Roster
Nobody should be denying that Mcneese has way more talent than any southland school by far. They could step up into some of high mid major conferences and compete.
quote:
Copeland is averaging nearly a double double
9pts, 4 reb, 4 assists per game. Btw, he rarely shoots 3’s but his % is worse than Bailey, and Parker is only shooting 30% from 3.
Nobody is going to argue that Bailey is a big offensive weapon. But that’s only a part of what makes someone a starter and a good player.

Wouldn’t have minded seeing Carter or sears coming off the bench in this scenario.
Posted on 1/14/25 at 1:02 pm to Madking
Ward shot 46% from 3 in conference on 72 shots. That is crazy.
Posted on 1/14/25 at 1:04 pm to Pnels08
And was over 50% in the non conference plus he had like 24 turnovers the entire season which would be key for us this year. He was a 5* recruit and coach just threw him away.

It just doesn’t make sense to me. Why not announce he’s redshirting and going to the portal. Why is it so damn cryptic with these players this year.
