I just don't know I'm confused and think after a couple guys leave after this year we end up in the same position year after year. I know Jones is recruiting better and a half decent coach but really I see no heart from him or his players when it really counts.

Simmons and this class are a whole different ball game than Mickey and Martin. Mickey and Martin aren't nearly as polished and driven as what we have coming in. I am concerned though about jones in game coaching.

Nowhere if the conference can't get more than 4 or 5 teams to the dance.

This conference is killing us.

Seriously, some of these posters obviously haven't watched Simmons' highlight tapes, there's a reason he's the top ranked prospect

You are assuming they will improve next year. Mickey can not lead a HS basketball team.

During JJ's first year LSU was known as scrappy team that wound never give up. What changed? Is it the players? JJ going through a mid life crisis? Just dont get it.

How in the hell did Coach Jones not have his team ready to play? This is troubling.

I say if Martin and Mickey come back because we'll actually have depth on the bench. Also Add Craig victor and the team won't be exhausted liked they looked tonight

Pretty obvious that LSU will win nothing of significance with JJ as coach.

I see a program dedicated to making the NIT most years under Johnny Jones. I truly don't expect much from our coaching staff. I am not hating. I just don't really care any more. Apathy pure and simple.

Oh I've watched Simmons and he is undeniably fantastic but JJ is not Calipari or even close and will this class make a run before he is One and Done? I'm thinking NOOOO!!

Say what????


Johnny Jones can't hardly finish better than 9-9 in this weak sister conference. Any half way decent team could go 12-6. If anything, this conference saves us embarrassment.

Don't us expect to be a consistent tournament team under JJ. Guy just isn't a good coach. I imagine his recruiting will bring us good seasons every few years but nothing consistent.

We have a basketball AD who's hit two home run hires, we'll obviously be fine.

*Looks at what could be consecutive tournament miss number six*

Nevermind.

That makes no sense. LSU is killing itself with the losses.

How do you lose by 15 at home to Tennessee? LSU has losses to Missouri, Miss. State, Tennessee and Auburn and two of those are at home. That's inexcusable. The conference is bad and LSU should be taking advantage and breezing through it. Instead, it's 10-7 in the league.
