There isn’t a program in the country that has consistently dominated in the big 3. Florida is about as close as it comes and they just lost to a 15 seed.

LSU baseball will always have high expectations. I think most LSU basketball fans are happy making the tournament and making a run to the Sweet 16/Elite 8 every 5 years or so with a final four run mixed in.

That’s the thing though, before Wade we made the tournament twice in 11 years. He is 3/4. And the 1 year he didn’t make it was with a totally depleted roster that Jones left in a dumpster fire. And even that team was competitive.

Pretty sure he got to the post season. We lost the SEC Tournament by a botched put back and gave a top four team a great game in the tournament. Do you even March Madness?


Cmon man. Youre better than this. As should the program be. A missed lay-up to lose a game is your defense on how good we did in postseason? Really?

Good teams don’t miss that lay-up

Like saying we were one error away from taking the series against MSU last weekend.

Reread his comment.. Me thinks his statement has nothing to do with JJ players.

No one cares about regular season in college basketball. It’s all about the tourney. What sport are you watching??

Of course, it matters. When I'm watching packed houses in college basketball in the regular season (minus this year), it's not because no one gives a shite. Also, it affects your seeding if you make the tournament.

Are you comparing LSU baseball to LSU basketball expectations? PM took over a program that far and away had the best home-field environment and LSU has led the nation in attendance for like 2 decades. Also, they had won five national titles before he took over. LSU was set up to dominate in baseball. Even now there are only 3 other schools in the nation that average over 8,000 fans and none of them have ever won a national championship. And only one other school in the nation averages over 5000 fans. LSU has a major recruiting advantage in baseball.

But anointing him the messiah bc he won an SEC title 3 years ago seems premature.


2019. Year 2. 2 years after going 2-16. 1st Sweet 16 in 13 years.

I would just like him to prove his worth like the other major sports coaches have done. That’s it.


3 straight top 3 SEC teams for the first time in like 30 years.

3 of the 4 years with postseason wins and the other was canceled.

We didn't have enough talent to do shite for years and years.

Now that I understand and agree with. WW improved the program. It was left with shite and he improved. But then again begs the question the Op has. Is WW good with x/o’s or just better than the last guy?

By that logic, CPM should have a life long contract after taking over for Smoke.

If we had Cisse or A guy like KBW we would play a big.

To me he deserves criticism in roster construction more than X’s and O’s. This team lacked a true floor general and big man. His best team had that in Naz Reid and Tremont Waters

Don’t forget about KBW either. I think neither O’Neal or PennJohnson being able to play/produce really put this team in a bind
