re: Wade isn’t capable of getting BBall to elite level.

Well, I agree with you and it isn’t because of the outcome of this game. He hasn’t shown the ability to improve defensively. He struggles to adjust against zone defenses and he needs to leave presses alone because even if he’s just trying to make the other team burn shot clock, they give up easy baskets. When the offense depends on guy’s winning one on one battles, it’s hard to shoot a high percentage when shots are always contested and you will be erratic. There is no motion, flow or off the ball screens most of the time to get open, high percentage looks at the basket. He will have good teams but I have my doubts about him being able to close the deal in the tournament setting.

Did you watch that season? Wade refused to play Bigby until it was obvious Naz couldn’t stay on the floor at center so he finally went with Bigby right before conference started. He even said he didn’t want to go big and was stubborn about it. You guys keep bringing up the outliar while ignoring everything else. We don’t need KBW, all we need is a few minutes to stop the bleeding and he still won’t do it. There’s no reason Gray couldn’t have come in and been given a chance today when instead we had Wilkerson and Smart guarding Florida’s 6-11 big man.

I thought we were picked to finish 3rd behind UT and Ky...?

He's as good or better recruiter than Brady. Only had 1 post season give him a few years chief.

I keep harboring and banging my head on this but would Cisse had made a big difference? We were in on this kid and it was so close until Vitale, Forde, and other Calipari shills swayed his recruitment away from LSU. Am I wrong and overestimating his potential impact?
Help? Yes. Make a dramatic difference? Probably not. That’s because the way LSU defends and the ease in which they let opponents drive would likely leads to Cisse being in foul trouble ever game.
It’s a total philosophy issue. Not a personnel issue. Just like Miles with his offensive issues. The faces changed...the issue LSU remained the same (and FTR I’m not saying Wade should be fired)

Now that we’re here, and have been for a few years now, I would hope that we can elevate even more. Nothing wrong with that is there?

Where more do you want to elevate?
We won the SEC. Sweet 16.
Higher
We’re a good team. It’s NICE to be a good team. Why not try to be great? Wouldn’t you love to watch LSU basketball play in marquee matchups as a ranked team multiple times a season? There’s a huge gap in between a single sweet 16 appearance and being Duke. Somewhere in the middle is the next step. A big home game like Tennessee a couple of years ago should happen more frequently.

Three years counts as a few. This is the third year we’ve had a decent to good basketball team.

what are you talking about we have a really good team this year, and are set up for future years also. Basketball isn't like football where you go undefeated with great teams. Sometimes shots dont drop and you lose, it's not that big of a deal.

No. Fair enough. There’s a lot of ball to play, and we’ll see where it ends up.

Every fricking year we go through this and every fricking year these same clowns talking shite are dick riding Wade into the tournament.

The one I saw and the announcers said we were 4th behind Florida at 3.

Comparing your football opinions to your basketball opinions is really quite something. Completely different philosophy on what's allowed to be criticized.

Sounds like you're not capable of not being a whiny bitch. What's your definition of an elite level, Duke? Or Kentucky? They're doing well so far this year...

We need a Kavell Bigby Williams. The other pieces are there. Maybe you want JJ back to coach. I don’t. Will Wade will get us there or as close as we have ever been. We will make a final 4

Before Wade we hadn’t won a tournament game in a decade. Now he has us in the tournament every year and y’all are mad that we’re not duke.
fricking clowns
I hear ya bro. There are a lot of people on this board that don't know shite about how to really play basketball. LSU is in good shape. What killed them today was when the bigs got in foul trouble, they couldn't defend the middle of the paint. I'm not worried too much about this once O'Neal gets back from injury. This is a good team and as time goes along, they will gel and be hell to deal with come March and tourney time.

Some of yeah are ridiculous the last 2 years in the SEC LSU has finished 1st and 2nd. Will Wade took over a dead program and turned it into a SEC contender. The job Wade has done recruiting has been outstanding because Louisiana has not been a Hot bed for basketball talent for awhile.
If y'all want something to complain about I wish more will pay attention to the disgrace the women's basketball program has become.
