re: LSU Basketball is in a state of duress. We went from contending to not even relevant.

Yes when the roster was depleted last year after WW was caught every reasonable person expected this team to be irrelevant for a couple of years.



Literally no one who follows college basketball for a living thought this. Everyone was complementary of the job McMahon did in putting together a roster. Kansas St and Missouri had LESS returning players than LSU. Yet, they will be playing in the NCAAT while McMahon just tied the school record for the worst conference record in history.

Truly a horrible coaching job this season despite what the excuse makers (who are dwindling) continue to say.

He’ll get at least one more season, but i challenge anyone to provide a reason for optimism outside of baseless blind hope. The reality is no one can, and the ones who do, do so for the SOLE purpose of being a contrarian…not because they actually have a reasonable position

A repeated parroting of talking points that make no sense and have been refuted.

Their entire take is based on nonsense.

Well everything mmcgrath said is right and did actually happen. What did you think happened this past offseason?

Don’t know why y’all expected a top half of the SEC caliber team with a bunch of misfits

It can’t be fixed as is. We just have to ride it out and suffer until we can afford to fire him. Thing is Piglet isn’t going to spend a dime more than he absolutely has to on basketball so don’t be surprised if coach Mac is kept a year or two longer than any sane program would keep him.

So when Wade was fired, then every player entered the portal and every recruit decommitted, what did you think would happen?

Well none of us were stupid enough to think Darius days should’ve transferred last year if that’s what you’re asking.

Piglet is funny to me.

All the assholes saying it's baseball season, that's okay. I like baseball too.

Why can't we care about MBB too?

They’re not LSU fans. LSU fans pull for all our teams. If someone doesn’t follow a sport that’s fine but why the need to jump into basketball threads and shite on the basketball team? These people aren’t LSU fans, they follow two sports because of some vicarious affirmation it brings to them. You’ll also notice most fans like this are extremely ignorant about the sports they do follow.

I think drizz is more complaining about the current state of the basketball program as a whole, which is certainly understandable. I don't watch many basketball games but I do try to watch some. I'm more of a football and baseball fan but I pull for all LSU programs. Even I can see the current state of the basketball program is not good. At all.

I don't think he was necessarily dumping on the entire team per se, or even any specific players.


It's more of venting frustrations, that's how I interpreted his post.

MK and I get along on LSU Basketball, I was typing a response for him, but it's difficult to express everything we think about LSU Basketball right now. I think it's hard to encompasses, not only Drizz (me), MK, S, so many. If people don't get our frustration, then that's on you.

Here’s a talking point; Woody was an idiot for firing CWW.

Will LSU spontaneously get a rich influx of talent in the portal?


IDK why a kid would want to play for this shite arse basketball program. It gets zero support from the administration and we have an AD that will fire your coach just before the most important game(s) of the season to only leave you high and dry. How do you convince a kid to play for this program?

LSU basketball is fricked as long as Woody is AD. Probably best just to ignore it and pay attention to the other sports.

Did that sacrifice MBB so NCAA wouldn't dig around FB?

That theory is total horseshite. The NCAA has been completely neutered with the emergence of NIL. Woodward either didn’t seemed to have the insight to recognize this or he just hated Wade because he was an Alleva hire. Woodward gets an F- on his handling of the basketball program.

I get the frustrations from you, S, and others. I'm agreeing with you.
