Can’t believe people actually still post that stuff
Next time I need to ask them to quantify it, so I can enjoy the smoke come of their ears while they try to explain.

Right now I have a ton of LSU basketball scrolling on YTTV so the other day I clicked on the 2019 win at Rupp. No honest person can watch a Wade game then a Mac game and say that Wade doesn’t run more sets, have more options and have his players understanding how to get from one set to the next smoother and quicker. It’s not even close, not even kind of close.

By major tournament success I mean deep tournament runs.
I also remember the arguments from posters the last 2 seasons of wade about him regressing, and him not having success in the ncaa tournament.
I root in the interest of lsu, and a few other schools I have some attachment to. Mcneese is not one of those schools. But I don’t hate Mcneese or wade.

So you spent more time than you should have to say you think wade is awesome and McMahon isn’t your favorite coach.

He didn't even get to coach that NCAAT, it was just his team. You don't think the head coach that assembled that team and won the SEC and was a #3 seed, had a chance to go further if he had a chance to coach them during the NCAAT?

I remember this as well. I can’t really say they would have made it further, but I can say he is absolutely responsible for the sweet 16. That was also something people used as an argument. That he didn’t even coach the sweet 16 team. lol.
It’s funny how a basketball nerd who didn’t even play college ball could be smart enough to get a head coaching gig and then all of a sudden he’s not an X’s and O’s guy, and they just play street ball. I think that was driven by our occasional failure at inbounds plays.
Coincidentally, I don’t think many of those guys post anymore. Other than pirate king. I don’t even remember most of them anymore. Staugustine something or another, hammerhead Lincoln, i don’t really remember anymore.

Anyone who types this is instantly discredited.
Let’s be clear, I absolutely loved Will Wade and have probably 100 posts hammering Woodward for being a bitch with his firing instead of standing up to the NCAA who would have done nothing.
I stand by what I said. Wade had far more talent. His teams, at times were very good defensively and rebounding but ball movement and reversal was terrible. They were lost in the 1/2 court set. That is 100% an issue with coaching. Zone teams would kill them. Without an NBA caliber guard they would be done in for. You need good guard play to advance in the tournament regardless of the coach but his other 4 on the court have to move without the ball and dribble penetrate instead of sitting g and tossing up 3’s. Their 3pt shooting was abysmal at that.
You can be a bitch and complain to the grammar police while you go frick yourself.

OP- all that just to say, let's hire Wade back. I agree we absolutely should. But we would need Woody to grow a pair and admit his mistake.. doubtful.

I do know that if Wade were sidecourt, we'd be in the thick of the SEC race this year, rather than looking up from the bottom

I have really cheered hard for McMahon. I want him to be successful in the worst way, but it just seem like he is the guy that’s going to be able to compete in the SEC. He did us a solid by coming in in a tough spot (arguably caused by our admin). In any case, if he doesn’t make the tournament, cut losses, pay the man and hire a proven coach.

Everyone is 0-0 in conference right now.
We aren’t looking up until we are.
Also Wade isn’t coming back,

Every objective analysis proves his offenses were consistently some of the best in the country and when he finally got the defense fixed, they were one of the best in the country. But that won’t mean anything to you because muh streetball is the only thing your idiot arse sees.
Kindly go away.

LSU beat Oklahoma
Oklahoma beat Alabama
So… LSU will beat Alabama.
Without addressing all of the points in your post, the transitive property is the most erroneously used comparison in sports.
Concluding that because McNeese played better vs UNO than LSU did means that McNeese is better than and would beat LSU ignores so many other factors and is a weak supposition.
McNeese might beat LSU head-to-head, but using performance of each vs a single opponent in early season matchups especially is not a convincing argument.
