Tell me why I should believe next year we will have a better Basketball Team?

I’m not seeing signs of us competing in the next two years.

Try hard. McMahon is a nice guy. Black cloud over the program.
I have no idea.

If the coach is the same you shouldn’t .

Because we’ve improved from last year to this year?

You shouldn't.

Because there’s always the transfer portal?

Time for a change, he's in over his head. Just not a good fit for LSU.

They’ve won twice as many games as they did the previous year….How many other SEC schools have doubled their win total from the previous year?

Yep. Just a few more diamonds in the rough from the Atlantic 10 Conference and we should be a tournament team.

It takes 3 years to build a winning team in the portal era.
They play hard even in 20 point losses.
The top 2 recruits from last year are progressing nicely.
The only portal players recruited are from Louisiana.
The energy is high around the program.

Because you have talent. You’re bringing in relent. Your coach gets them to play hard
Our best players are as follows:
A 4 year average sec player at a school who consistently lost
A player who left the SEC because he wasn’t good enoufh
A grad student who spent his career in the west
We don’t have old talent. Guys like Ward and Reed and Williams will grow and take more steps. Add in the freshmen, some transfer pieces.
If Jordan wright could just be a PIECE then we would be good. But we need him to be the guy and he absolutely isn’t.
Lastly, lsu will finish 8-10 in the SEC. That’s not “bad”. We aren’t some bottom dweller. We are on track

I assume this is a victory in your eyes because they lost by less than 20 this game?

Where is the data to support 3 years to build? That’s BS.
Moral victory guy huh?

You cats act like LSU was a powerhouse basketball program. LSU has always been average or below in basketball since the beginning of time. We are a football and baseball school.

You know this is about basketball right not football?

Said it a million times, your last coach was making the post season every season. That’s all any true LSU men’s basketball fan wants. If you say any differently, you are unreasonable.

They're better this year than last.
They have had a few younger players show real promise.
They have a couple of good players who were either hurt or redshirting and are expected to either upgrade or add depth to key positions
There are two pretty good freshmen committed.
None of that means they will be a top-half SEC team or even better but they should be at least a little better.
WIll that be good enough for fans, not sure.
To be SEC competitive next season (top 1/3 of the SEC) they will need to pick up some talent in the portal or have one of the incoming freshmen be a gem in the rough (they are 4 *s but they'll have to look like they should have been 5 *s).
Just my take. It still won't be a big splash Wade team if that is what you are wanting.

I think the championship or bust crowd are ridiculous
But its not asking much to have a competitive product IMO
