We used to score 75-80 a night relatively easy.

We also couldn’t shoot perimeter shots that well either. So imagine a team that can finish around the rim, makes some 3’s, and not turn it over. We could score 90.

Yeah, but that was “street ball”. Isn’t it much more aesthetically pleasing to watch a HS JV offense execute its way to 40 points?

Thankfully the streetball is gone. These nightly x and o displays bring me back to when I last played basketball in 5th grade.

The 5 best LSU students from the Rec can average a point a minute

This “team” is missing everything. All of it.

And nobody really cares. It’s baseball time, as soon as the Women are done with the real Final Four. LOL

As long as street ball and those mean tweets are gone it’s all good.

There is probably only so much improvement that can be made by a MM.

Woody did a piss poor job of hiring.

U averaged 75+ PPG in one season under WW

There isn't a player on this roster that would start on any of WW's teams while he was at LSU.

Miller started for WW, after he got hurt? Don't remember him on the court. His play this year wouldn't get him many minutes on any of WW teams before the Gestapo came to town.

Tari Eason...last year we scored 72 PPG. This year we're at 66.

LSU is scoring 57 ppg in SEC play this year. DEAD LAST in the league. Last season was the worst offense in the 5 year period under Will Wade...and LSU STILL managed to score 12 points ppg than this season. For 5 years, you had clueless morons bitch about the offense under Wade, almost daily during basketball season, despite the fact it was generally one of the (at least) 20 most efficient offenses in the country. When you tried to point out that offense wasn't the issue, few listened despite every single relevant statistic proving otherwise. Now, perhaps, those same fans can get an appreciation of how good LSU's offense was during that 5 year period.

But give the guy some time to build a real roster for goodness sake.

This IS his roster. Only 3 guys returned from last year's LSU team and they were all top 100 recruits in their respective classes. He brought 3 MSU players with him. One was the OVC POY and is 2nd in the SEC in ppg. The other was a former SEC player (Hannibal) who has been a solid vet. McMahon didn't get the job in July. He got the job around the same time most new coaches were hired...which means the transfer portal was available to him as much at is was to every other program. To his credit, he was able to sign 3 fairly highly rated HS players in a condensed time frame. Unfortunately, he has gotten absolutely no return on that investment. Two have rarely played this season (Ward and Phillips) and the other (Reed) looks as completely overmatched.

Looking ahead, LSU has two signees for next season. Neither are top 100 prospects (if they are, it's in the 90s). Is it possible he completely flips the roster in the transfer portal and finds a great HS player or two who invariably back out of their signings at the end of the season? Sure. But to act like this isn't HIS roster is flat our wrong, and there aren't any signs right now to give you hope things will soon turnaround. This is looking like year 2 of the Trent Johnson era were LSU couldn't score, at all, and was getting their doors blown off every night, while a coach with no enthusiasm roamed the sidelines with no energy in the program.

Jones and Wade didn't have great first seasons either. But both exceeded preseason expectations and both had big time signing classes coming in year two that gave you hope for the future. That's not the case here.
