If your going to live in a fantasy world at least make it good and say if Dedan "Magic" Thomas wasn't hurt LSU would be 4-0 in the SEC!

Hold it--hold it--hold it: listen to me good: I can debunk the mystery of college basketball in two words: Dennis Gates.

Two years ago Mr Gates went 0-19 in conference play, and most of those games weren't close. Last year they had a great class come in and the made the tourney. Now they're 3-1 SEC (13-3 overall) and second place in the conf. Are you telling me McMahon can't achieve the same level of success here? Think about that -- 0-19 in conf play just two years ago, and now firmly in the elite fleet!

No it's not his fault Miller and Tamba missed 2 FTs each. But that's life.

Sad part is with Thomas we probably win all these games.

I think we would've beaten South Carolina and A&M with Thomas, but Reece actually played very well in this game. Maybe Thomas would've been worth a few more points, but point guard play wasn't the problem today. Ultimately, other players fell apart in the end, but I don't think we gave them good guidance, and didn't defend properly in the end.

The comical part is they can’t even do the easy things right like make free throws or guard a full court bomb to the free throw line.

This season is just like ‘01. When Lamont Roland went down, so did the team.

I have sat in that building twice in the last 2 weeks and watched Kentucky hit buzzer beaters to be us (that is how the women lost to them also)
