Why can't LSU say no to the NIT? Will it make LSU money and will LSU be in contention for a championship that counts this season? No. So LSU shouldn't go. This team doesn't deserve another game, and if King Idiot says money is a factor for LSU athletics despite the AD making a huge surplus, then the men's basketball program shouldn't get another net penny this season.

Even if LSU hosted a game, they won't make money on it. The crowd won't be big enough to overcome the cost of opening the doors.

This season has been a bust, but we can't say no to the NIT

I've been to nearly every home game during the Johnson and Jones tenures. This team had everything to play for yesterday, but played like the season was already over. They've given me no reason to believe that they would show up to play hard in additional games. I don't believe they would turn down an NIT appearance, but I'm not encouraged to spend money to see a repeat of yesterday's debacle. NIT bid should be extra preparation for next year, but how many of these players will leave or be let go for various reasons? I'm afraid that Jones is not the long term answer as our BB coach.

No this basketball team is pathetic.


We finished top 4 in the conference. We beat the top 2 teams in the conference. This team has major holes on its roster. Pathetic is what I would use to describe some of the teams during Trent Johnson's tenure.

If LSU does accept the invitation they will not host a game. Alleva is smart enough to know that playing a home game in front of 1,600 fans is not good for anyone.



So screw the development of the team. Screw developing players like Brandon Sampson who are key to the success of the team next season. Screw showing resilience and trying to show some pride and trying to come out and win the NIT if we get an invite. Im sick and tired of you people. Yall are a joke.

And a major hole at the head coaching position who has had four years to acquire a roster.

Not that it matters, cause he can't coach for shite.

Show some pride? Are you fricking serious? They couldn't do it when it mattered, coaches or players. Why the frick would they now? I'm sick of blind dumbfricks like you. Jones should get run the frick out of town.

This team didn't have any "resilience and pride" when trying to win the SEC regular season and post season titles with a birth to the NCAA tournament on the line.

It's done. It's over.

Hopefully you don't have kids that ever play sports. You are a joke and a disgrace to our fan base.

Oh, so you call people out (a vast majority) that disagree with you but can't handle it when it happens to you?

I said nothing of not playing in the NIT (though they don't deserve it). I commented on your stupidity about Jones' coaching accumen and that the players will play for pride.

So frick off, pussy. Hope you didn't frick up the gene pool by reproducing.
