The only way out of basketball hell

Is support. The school needs to release the renovations and timeline of the PMAC, along with the upgrades to practice facilities/ locker rooms.
The athletic department needs to begin a huge marketing campaign. They need to pull a woman’s gymnastics and sell all remaining tickets for $5. They need to have the team, coaches support staff out at the rouses etc giving stuff away, they need to be at the schools talking to kids.
There needs to be promotions at every game. Red Panda, car giveaways, half court shots for $10,000 etc.
There should be pre-game and post game concerts, focus on local artists, but maybe a National act.
Put the colored t -shirts out in all the seats, this looks great on tv.
And lastly we have to show up.
We have to show future recruits that we will support . Nobody wants to play in front 2,000 people.
If we can do all or some of this, I think this can turn around quickly.
Lastly Coach MM needs to recognize that this league is all about size, speed , length, athleticism. We need to fill the roster with 6’4”-6’9” long athletic guys. Capable of switching and defending multiple positions, rebounding at a high rate and getting down the floor in a hurry.
Long rant but my 2cents on the situation

Bring back Wade. Tell Woodward to go to his house with hat in hand and if he won't, run him off.

We could just not have a basketball team.

I love Wade but this is a pipe dream just like UT fans wanting Pearl back.
The better bet is let MM fail this year and next, then kindly move him back to Murray state and bring in rehab Chris beard. We would get him on the cheap

We definitely need support, but none of that is going to change the landscape. There's a collective of LSU fans that will never adopt LSU Basketball. It is what it is. For others, we just want relevancy and consistency. 1 NIT, 4 NCAAT in 5 years.
My wife has checking account, dammit why didn't you call me?

It certainly isn’t dog the first year coach to where you have to hire a new one and then watch everyone portal out and start over again.
Today’s culture is hilarious.

We need a network of boosters who are interested in supporting men’s basketball. The fact that we had a coach who had to pay players himself, out of his own pocket, tells you we don’t have this.

Wade was building that.
I’m not sure MM can build it. He is vanilla TJ

I know the gist of what happened, but not the details.
But paying players is wrong. Especially when you don't do it with obfuscation - signed, tRant.

We had all that at one time…

Wade is the basketball version of coach O, great cheerleader and recruiter but sloppy and mediocre coach

Super intelligent response…. Let’s not have the 2nd most profitable sport on campus

That’s all really good ideas, except players don’t care about any of it. All the money it would cost to do what you are suggesting could just be reallocated to NIL deals and you will get one of the best rosters in college basketball. The guy who had our program rolling said this himself. Invest in NIL. The other stuff is irrelevant

I don’t think we did. Pieces and parts, but never all together

How many games have you attended over the past 5 years?
