Fair. But that's usually what happens to 8 seeds.




True but we should have been seeded 6 or at worst 7 last year.

1. Seeding had a lot to do with the co Terence reputation. It’s a very subjective process.

2. 2 and Q means something in double elimination tournaments. Means you didn’t win a game. So it’s dumb to throw it out there like it means the same thing.

The funny thing about Wade haters is if he’s fired when the next guy comes in and we start losing again they won’t watch LSU basketball anymore. The only reason these posters started watching is because of Wade but they want him fired lol.

People saying Wade needs an offensive x o assistant have always said that about him defensively. It will be alright.
People have always said that Wade needs help with the x and o on offense, even though we hade some very talented offensive players. Further, the defense used to be very week, especially against 3 point shooters (really a curse that preceded Wade). This year the players seem to be making the difference on defense.

Wade doesn’t have an Xs and Os problem, far from it. Wade needs to hold players more accountable. I know he sells them on a lot of autonomy but that needs to come with more accountability.

My question to you is, don’t you think it’s odd to say you need to hire an assistant to fix a discrepancy on the team instead of the head coach fixing it?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the style offense he runs will win 80-90% of his games based off of superior talent and then his teams will struggle mightily with equally talented teams and those maybe not as talented but extremely disciplined and very well coached in the X’s and O’s .
That being said, I don’t think he should be fired but he definitely needs to keep evolving in every phase of the game, change his approach and philosophy on offense in some areas, find a good blend of talent and demand more discipline in the fundamentals of the game.

So good my man. It's why I've mostly been lurking this season, I can't deal with the nonsense.

I've watched through the good and bad. Right now we are a projected #9 seed in the sec trny. I'm still watching. I think what many see is another Miles type situation, without the title....just complacency because he won some games and things could be worse. Wade will have to grow dramatically to be a coach that doesn't just rely on talent and can actually coach it.

This is a very good question. Not having a big man killed them vs a very good michigan team.

The polarity of this topic is absurd considering most of us are fans of the team. A lot of posters speak only in hyperbole, other take having fun with memes as actual worship. And now peoples opinions of wade are based on how mean people were when they said something about wade.

Except Miles took over a team who had just won a national title and SEC championship in the last 4 years. Wade inherited the worst conference record in program history and a team that had been to 1 post season in the previous 8 years. So not even close to the same.

If that team was so loaded why weren’t they even ranked pre season? There are a lot of teams that have 3 guys who get contracts in the NBA but what that poster is doing is pretending that having 1 late first round pick on the roster is equal to teams that have multiple lottery picks and first rounders. It’s an intellectually dishonest statement.

Maybe you did, but it wasn't on this board. That's for sure. I've been in threads with just a few of us 4 coaches back.

So you signed up last month to give your take? GFY.

Your take is terrible.

We need someone like Coach K, Pearl, or Calipari who wins without talent.
