re: Why Can't We Consistently Have a Better Basketball Team?

A- that’s not true
B- that’s irrelevant, we went into both seasons with full rosters and more talented players than a lot of teams who finished much better than us.

Not gonna keep pointing it out when you just ignore them and go back to your make believe narrative.

Yep, that's it.

If you allocated the resources basketball would make a killing financially. The tournament revenue more than makes up for the investment. Each tourney win is worth $2 million over 6 years or $337k/ year. You start winning 2 to 3 games each tournament and you have a huge influx in capital
And yet, our AD appears to not be interested in that.
you said it yourself:

LSU has made the Sweet 16 3 times since 2000, including that year. Once for Elite 8 (we made Final Four), in 2006.
Dale Brown did Sweet 16 or better 5 times, last being in 1987. Dale got everything he wanted; he retired in 1997. 10 years since his last Sweet 16.
Teams CAN make money if they consistently make runs, but LSU hasn't consistently made runs since the 80's. Wade only made it to the 2nd weekend once, Brady only did twice. Our ceiling now seems to be 20 wins and we maybe make the 2nd rd.
In contrast, football can/does win, and should be a playoff team. And brings in the vast majority of profit.
You dump resources into baseball or women's basketball, we can win a title, or at least be a major contender. The return is better for those.

Is not misleading. If you wanna go through every state and apply your qualifier to all of them, re rank them and use that number go for it but you can’t selectively use a qualifier for one state and ignore all the others.

You just preached "accountability" to me and then deleted your side of our back and forth. That's incredibly rich
I'm not sorry your 44 posts means a lot to me. Did you just wake up and say holy shite I need to talk MBB on TD the last 12 days?
That's your thing?
How in the world would anyone think that's a bullshite account and just fricking with posters that talk basketball.
I (no messaged) some stuff because I'm trying to be more considerate to idiots.

So you’re not gonna do it. Figured as much

What? You asked for a state by state breakdown with my qualifier (where guys played high school ball). That's what I linked

I posted per capita rankings and you’ve changed it to total players.
Posted on 2/13/24 at 12:53 pm to Madking
But how does any per capita measure reflect how much talent is produced by a state? Total population of a state is completely irrelevant

The post was in response to someone claiming that Louisiana is a barren wasteland for basketball talent. That isn’t true

Dale Brown
Will Wade
If they get the NCAA’s blueblood treatment, LSU is probably a consistent perennial power.
It’s not simply the fact that those were both very good coaches, but the way it happened / fact that the program was derailed by the NCAA in both cases.
Be patient, it has only been 1.5 years — We will get back to form with or without McMahon & the NCAA will be toothless. We did sacrifice hoops to protect football because that’s who we are… but at this point it looks like the school will never be given that kind of ultimatum again.

I would say making the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 consistently makes you a top tier basketball school
