McMahon is a different guy on the sidelines this year . Both with the players and even the referees. I don’t believe he as gotten a technical in 3 years and in the first two games he seemed close to getting one . It’s nice to see him show some signs of energy this year and I’m optimistic this may be a team that can compete with the middle of the pack of the conference this year

It all went to shite when Dickinson and Hawkins came in . You can not have this guys as your 7th and 8th men , idc who is out

This is a horrible take and thread should be deleted . Men’s basketball is the second biggest sport and in some places the biggest sport on campus . Once lsu decides to invest properly and hire a good coach it will thrive

Pretty significant loss , he was a very good hire and someone much needed like him on this staff . He most likely
Saw an opportunity to go back to his Alma mater and have much more job security . Where as at LSU currently , everyone realizes this is a make or break year for the current regime . And he just lost his job at Indiana bc of the same situation

You rarely see guys going into their third year with the team that drafted them on summer league rosters

Summer league team should be fun . Fears , queen , missi , reeves , and potentially the 40th pick .

Wade picked up Darrion Williams yesterday , first team all Big 12 , and may have been the top guy left in portal. Could very well be a preseason top 25 team

It’s nuts bc it’s LSU basketball actually doing it . Great to see we are finally showing a willingness to invest that we should have been doing for years

Dude can play , crazy number though , if this happens it seems like we aren’t messing around and the investment in basketball is fully on lol

Auburn and Tennessee are both football schools that are competitive in baseball and basketball . That’s what this whole topic is about and what people can’t seem to realize LSU can also do instead of picking baseball or basketball . It’s not a either / or it’s a want to be good at both which is very achievable while still realizing football will get most of the attention

The only part of the fanbase that wants to “ignore basketball “ are the baseball first fans . They view it as a legit threat to their prize baseball program . At some point our administration is going to do the obvious thing and do what every other school in the SEC has done and start investing tons of resources into the basketball program . It makes no sense not to , with the conference now becoming the premier basketball league in the country . Most good schools realize you can be good at all 3 of the major sports , and we have it easy as we are already established in baseball, which is the most difficult to get going as it has by far the least amount of interest in most fanbases. But the fact is we have a small portion of the lsu fanbase that wants a bad basketball program and was glad to see Wade get fired and is OK with McMahons results bc the threat of basketball becoming number 2 is over for the time being . At some point that will change , it’s just a matter of when
