re: When did LSU fans become so invested in MBB??

Go ahead. What is modern history for you?

Do you not understand that until 2003, LSU hadn't won a NC in football since 1958. 45 years. So, from your ridiculous narrative, they might as well given up somewhere along the path. That is your thought, whether you realize it or not.

But since we won NC in football in 2003, 2007, 2019, we can care about modern history?

Modern history matters bud, to pretend it doesn’t is ignorant

I'm fairly certain the ignorance is your take that things can't change.

Your whole contention is that since LSU MBB doesn't have the historic success, it won't ever happen. -- that is stupid AF.

But... Miami/Nebraska football success can go away. Gonzaga - even Duke - can get on the come up for their trajectory on the MBB landscape.

When you look into the mirror, does it laugh back at you?

How many players do we have in the NBA? How many are great? Those things matters to recruit.

How many does Auburn have? Tennessee? Ole Miss?
Nobody's asking to be Duke but we should put forth some effort to not be a dumpster fire.

We should, but we aren’t. Which is why I’m confused why most of you think we’re gonna start now

The trend is not good. LSU has not cared about basketball, and it doesn’t seem LIKELY things will change in the future.

This I agree with.

But other posters are so intent that fake NIL numbers are going to change it.

I’m a die hard LSU MBB fan, but also understand that football, baseball, basketball aren’t a pick or choose proposition.

Even with Mulkey, who I respect at every level of her career, from HS, to college, to assistant, to HC at two stops doesn’t make WBB profitable in any way. It’s silly to think you can’t be more successful or change the level of a program. Sue, Pokey, Chance, unnamed. The opportunity is there.

Basketball at lsu has always been an afterthought to football and baseball

lol! Tell me you’re under 30 without telling me you’re under 30. LSU’s basketball success way pre-dates the baseball success. Besides basketball nationally is way more popular and lucrative than baseball.

Brother, that Vanderbilt home game was unlike anything I have seen at LSU. 10k+ chanting "F Joe Alleva" and "we want Wade". Yea they cared lmao.

---

one of the greatest nights in LSU BBall history. We cut down nets as conference champs that day .cannot find a full game replay online anywhere. To Alleva's credit, he stilll showed up. Where is Scotty?

Ok? What’s your point?

That’s not “giving all the data” as you claimed to be doing


It’s withholding extremely relevant information to minimize accomplishments.


No one cares about the standings in the west good or bad.


People do care bout final fours. Mizzou considered themselves a “basketball school” and doesn’t have one


Nc state who EVERYONE would consider a “basketball school” has the same amount as us. And has the same amount of final fours since 2000.



Hell we’ve been a a final four more recently than Indiana AND additionally a sweet 16 more recently than IU

To intentionally not mention a final four is idiotic much less other things like sweet 16s

It is. I listed the SEC finish for each season. I think winning the SEC is a good thing, no?

If you want to choose to look at it that way, that’s on you bud

People care about final fours here because it makes our program look better than it actually is. Can you remind me what you said about leaving our pertinent data. I forgot?

There was nothing “intentional” about it. But what you and yours want to do is “intentionally ignore” the fact that lsu has lived in the cellar more than they haven’t the last 30+ years. The final fours over 4 decades have been an aberration and are not indicative of what the program actually has been which is why I listed every season to give a more accurate depiction. Adding a notation that lsu went to a final four in 2006 literally adds nothing to that context. Listing all the seasons was to show how terrible the team had been and how often that occurred.

People like you want to gloss over that because that once time 20 years ago we went to a final four that only lsu fans remember at this point.

You have no earthly idea what you are talking about.
