LSU is 5-0 when hitting a grand slam in a game.

I would imagine the win % for all teams is extremely high in games where they get 4 runs with 1 swing.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding how this rating system is calculated, but how on earth is Ryan Day 2019 on here and Ed O 2019 not? How does Dabo Swinney never appear? I feel lost.

re: Looking back on the BK hire

I don't think he was too old to be a good coach. He coached us to being a very solid team for a couple years. However, a program like LSU should always be looking to hire a coach who has at least 15-20 years remaining of being among the best coaches in the country, and I don't think you could have said that of BK even at the time of hiring him. Going for "proven success" can really only get you so far in hiring a football coach - I think you need to swing for the fences with someone who has a lot of potential beyond what they've accomplished. Kirby Smart, Ryan Day, Kurt Cignetti are all great examples and are probably regarded as the top 3 coaches in college football.

Kiffin's a bit of a unicorn - he has proven success and also has potential well beyond what he's accomplished thus far in his career.

That's why I try go into rounds thinking "today might just not be my day" so that I have a better chance to just enjoy golfing rather than attaching my happiness to shooting well. Ironically, I tend to play better with this mindset.

This game is being officiated extremely one sided through the first few minutes of the 4th quarter. I just turned it off after the foul call on the jump shot where no one touched the Duke girl.

Julian Phillips & Yohan Traore
Phillips would have been good if he didn't go pro so early. averaged 8 & 5 at Tennessee.

it looks like Traore ended up being a bust, but I feel like Wade did a good job maximizing output from those elite athlete bigs by getting them to be dogs on the boards and on defense.
Rothstein is a CBB sicko. I like sickos.

Same here. I thought it was a big mistake to fire him, but very happy to learn that I was wrong about that.

apPearantly you have no sense of humor
The media hating on LSU basketball for no reason. We are so fricking back.
All of us who stayed with the basketball program these awful few years are about to be so greatly rewarded. I kept in mind this entire season "watching this team is going to make the better days feel so sweet." Even as little as a 9-9 conference record and a 10 seed in the tournament will feel so satisfying.

in case anyone forgot what winning basketball looks like

@ #11 Texas A&M 2018 - (was only able to find Tremont's highlights from this game, but that's sort of all you need to see)

@ #5 Kentucky 2019

#5 Tennessee 2019

(6) Maryland 2019 - Round of 32

#8 Arkansas 2021 - SEC Tournament

(9) St Bonaventure 2021 - Round of 64

#16 Kentucky 2022

#18 Tennessee 2022

#25 Alabama 2022
11-7 would be quite an impressive mark in this league, but I'll wait to start putting expectations on year 1 until after we see who we're getting in tPortal

Agreed. He's a very good player.

I believed the work was being done to get him, but I still felt it wasn't likely given that he just got to NC State. This is some really impressive work by the administration yet again. LSU Athletics is about to peak very hard.
