From the relative lack of comments (1 Page), I would guess few care. Football would have ten pages by now.

Relax. Basketball is the third sport at LSU. Hope they win, but hope gymnastics wins equally.

Yeah, because there have been very few comments about Johnny Jones and the basketball team on here lately. Ok...

And yes, we know it's not football. LSU Football is king.

I thought the problem was jealousy from TQ but now I'm not so sure the problem isn't Ben the way his attitude has changed. I can't remember witch game it was but JJ called a TO and JJ chewed on Ben. Ben acted pissed because JJ called the TO.

Leadership, or lack of, starts at the top with the head coach. If the head coach can't motivate his players, it's time to go.

I don't care to speculate on who is jealous of who or who resents who. Bottom line, these are kids.

It's the coach's job to get take charge, mete out discipline, clear the air, and utilize this team's talent. If he can't do that, it's time for a new coach.

They lack focus. I mean how many point blank layups were missed. How many FT's. How many stupid rushed 3's.


You seem to have forgotten the most crippling deficiency ... they cant play defense! LSU opponents have figured out that LSU cannot defend against the lay up.

Similar to football ... some nice talent but yikes coaching.

mikey nailed it lastnight, I don't think I've ever disliked an LSU basketball team as much as this one. It's just excruciating to watch

In his capacity as an ncaa committee member, he said LSU had some work to do to make the tournament. Needed a RPI better than 80.

he also reiterated that as of now, it's very doubtful the team would get in.

Could be a factor, may not be, but the team did play hard against a hot Alabama team they barely beat earlier. After those comments, they got rolled by two teams that are already out of it.

It wasn't a false statement, but it also wasn't what you want from coming down from the AD. He could have phrased it better, saying something like there was still a very good opportunity to get hot and get in (at that point, the team could have won out and gone 23-10, and almost certainly be in). Could have stated that the season was not yet over, let the games play out.

He didn't, he said that as it stood, LSU was likely out of the tournament, and had a lot of work to do to be considered.

And this is why I dont watch LSU Basketball... not worth getting all pissed off over. We're rarely good much stand a chance at winning it all, so why care? Bseball and football will be my fall and spring worries of choice.

Quarterman will be lucky to make the NBA D-League


While I agree that TQ's draft stock has fallen, he is still a second round pick and will not have any problems "mak[ing] the NBA D-League." How well he will perform when he gets there is certainly up for debate. But, let's not forget that NBA drafts on potential and TQ's size and potential is intriguing to a lot of teams.
