not a fan of Alleva but it is time that reality sets in...

WADE was listened to on the tape, Alleva did not tape him.
WADE initiated the problem REGARDLESS of whether we agree with Alleva's actions or not.

That's last year's news. They obviously thought the returning guards could handle it. They can't. KBW's loss was never accounted for, and it's hurt bad.

Who heard his voice exactly? Not you, not Alleva, not the NCAA

Wade had a solution to that problem until Alleva torpedoed last year's class. He's playing the cards he has. We lost Waters, Reid, and KBW in the rotation. We replaced them with Watford and Manning (who has been hurt). What do you expect?

This cannot be overstated!

Still no excuse for the worst and laziest defense I've seen in college basketball.

Defense is an attitude, a commitment. You don't have to be a great athlete to play good defense. Perhaps Wade needs to hire a defensive minded assistant.

The lethargic unmotivated mindset of the team on defense is a coaching issue, plain and simple. If your players refuse to play defense, make them sit on the bench for a while. There seems to be no consequences resulting from not playing defense.

They suck on defense. No shooters. No coach

Everyone wants to give Willy a pass, but he is the one whose voice was heard on tape "with a clear intent to cheat". He is the one who created the incident and brought about the repercussions. Alleva should have fired his arse at the time. It's not too late for Woodward to bring in a new coach and return some integrity to the program.

A recruiting scandal and playing our way out of the tourney?

Where is the recruiting scandal? LSU has received no LOI from the NCAA and is not under investigation. Yahoo and ESPN do not determine who is under investigation.

After three years, Brady had a net and two tournament wins.

After almost three years, Wade has no nets and no tournament wins.

It’s only right to question whether Wade is worth the drama. We’ve gotten better results than this on the cheap in the past.

Maybe I got spoiled by Brady and am unrealistic to expect LSU basketball to return to the level at which it was during the Brady years.

God, it feels good to say that.

I know a color commentator who’s a really good defensive coach.

Pics of him cutting down a net or it didn’t happen.

Even if you don’t give him credit for the Vanderbilt game (which is ridiculous ), his team still would have won a share of the title.

The SEC Championship doesn't count unless Wade himself cut the net down?

If Brady has more nets and tournament wins than Wade at the end of this season, then Wade’s seat gets warm.

We got to a Final Four clean. We don’t need to fawn over somebody who disappears because his lawyer won’t let him come out to play.

Amazing that so many sidewalk fans wanna carry Wade’s cross for him.

It's been a good year. Not as good as last but our fans aren't the brightest.

The tourney will be fun.
