If you take an objective look at the season, LSU is lucky to have the record they have. The facts speak for themselves. We have two horrible losses to Vandy - the worst team in the SEC - and Utah State! The only two quality wins are over Florida and Arkansas - two average SEC teams at best. We could easily have three more losses or more if the ball bounces the other way.

The reality is the SEC is having a horrible year overall and LSU's record - although impressive if you just look at Ws and Ls - is very misleading. We're not a great basketball team and I question if we're even a good team. Good teams don't build leads and watch them evaporate every game. Good teams know how to put away inferior teams and dominate the entire game.

In my opinion, Will Wade is the problem! He's a great recruiter and knows how to pay the players, but he's not a good game day coach. He gets out-coached just about every game and LSU barely ends up winning. We have better talent and athletes than most teams we play, but our coach is average at best and the Auburn game proved it. Pearl made adjustments and Wade had no answer. Instead, every player on the team is chunking up threes trying to match Auburn. We totally throw out the game plan that got us the lead and start playing street ball and it doesn't work! LSU will most likely make it into the tournament simply because the SEC is very weak, but our run in the tournament will be very short!

That's because you're stupid and don't understand coaching!

I firmly believe they are over achieving this year. We don't have any size and won't stand much of a chance against a big team in the tourney. Just making the tourney this year will be big, and if we win 1 game that would be stellar. LSU hasn't won back to back tournament games since 88 and 89 I believe.

WW is a solid coach, and next year I think we'll be dangerous.

So what's your point? The standings show exactly what I'm talking about and clearly show the weakness of the SEC! We lost to Auburn and will get hammered by Kentucky and the next best team is Mississippi State at 6-4 in the league.

Listen I’m not changing your mind on WW, and I’ve seen this Bruce is great coach posted over and over, and he may very well be.

But the only adjustment I seenPearl/Auburn do in the second half is keep chunking up 3’s now if think that’s good coaching good for you.

Haha. They lost to a 20-2 team and led 95% of game. They have the best team is league if they would play smarter. Wade knows it.

We have one of the two best teams in the SEC and we will prove that whenever we win out and put the whipping on Kentucky

Sure, an average basketball team (at best) is going to go on a double digit win streak and be in first place in a power 5 conference.

We lost to Auburn

Oh frick, the horror. We lost to the #11 team on the road in OT. Fire everyone! Will Wade isn't a good coach.

Can you go ahead and give me the NBA Finals winner and the World Series too while you're at? What do you have a Grey's Sports Almanac?

The same could be said for LSU to have three more wins if the ball bounces the other way. That’s basketball.

Who we beat. Rewind yourself 5-6 years ago. Now answer the question, would expect LSU basketball to be at 8-2 and tied for first in the SEC? And coming off of a SEC championship season.

Will Wade has put LSU basketball back on the map. Is he a great Xs and Os coach? Probably not. He is a great in game coach? Probably not. Has he done great at LSU in his short stint? Absolutely. Your an idiot, please stop posting.
