re: LSU lands Kentucky PF Daimion Collins - Tom Bronco
I know, it's way too early to hope but yet I do. Seems like a pretty good bunch of transfers and that we will have much more talent. However, McMahon still has to find the right combinations and chemistry to make it all work. I was worried about our short guards but now we can put 6'10, 6'9", and 7'...

re: I totally understand the Hunter Dean skepticism, but before you write him off - Tom Bronco
We were desperate for another big guy. To be truthful at this point, just about any big man. I think this guy looks much better than what I was expecting. It kills me how everyone makes it about scoring. Every basketball team needs team players who will provide rebounds and defense. Is it a bonus if...

re: LSU basketball transfer portal watch - Tom Bronco
Would have been fun watching Girard play for the Tigers but oh well, I kinda knew he wasn't going to come here unless they gave him a truckload of money. Those last three places are looking kinda grim now. ...

re: ESPN + issue - Tom Bronco
I have answered this question numerous times. Can we somehow have a permanent reference to the info here so we don't have to keep doing this? Here are the absolute facts. If your cable or streaming service carries the SEC Network then you are automatically eligible for all SECN+ streaming events....

re: What's everyone's thoughts on our basketball roster for next year so far? - Tom Bronco
I'm mildly optimistic. Talent level will be greater on offense if McMahon let's them run some and doesn't insist on walking it up the court and set up the big men every time. It definitely should be a more fun team to watch with some guys who can actually dribble and shoot. We've got the guards, now...

re: Off-season basketball questions - Tom Bronco
[quote]1. How is it that smaller schools are making the tournament more regularly.[/quote]They aren't. The only way they get in is by getting an automatic bid by winning their conference. The reason you think this is that they advanced far into the tournament so you noticed them. ...

re: LSU basketball transfer portal watch - Tom Bronco
[quote] I think next year will be his last at this point. I just don’t see where things are looking any better[/quote]Anything is possible at this point but I would be shocked if he isn't given three or even four years before anything is done. Because of our AD's brilliant negotiating, it would jus...

re: LSU MBB Basketball Talk (in general) with Philips/Miller out (and others) - Wright/Cook in - Tom Bronco
Yes, I probably wasn't being honest with the six wins. 9 or 10 is what I really want. I guess I was just thinking that after last season six would be an improvement and the SEC is going to have a lot of good teams once again....

re: LSU MBB Basketball Talk (in general) with Philips/Miller out (and others) - Wright/Cook in - Tom Bronco
Why is it that you apologists always say that we want a great team. Sure that would be nice but there is so much distance between that and last year's team that it is not even a consideration. What would I and most critics want? How about a competitive team that at least has a chance to win every ga...

re: LSU MBB Basketball Talk (in general) with Philips/Miller out (and others) - Wright/Cook in - Tom Bronco
I think (hope) we will end up with a marginally better team than last year. Say 4 or 5 SEC wins and a winning non-conference. It all depends on if CMM can build team chemistry and keep it high the whole year. We talk endlessly about stats and talent and how we rank against other programs but the tru...

re: LSU basketball transfer portal watch - Tom Bronco
[quote]But our personnel couldn't be worse for that style of play. With what we've got we have to slow things down and execute sets or we'll never score[/quote]Isn't that what we tried to do all this season? How did that work out? Can trying to press some be worse than what we did? And no matter wha...

re: LSU basketball transfer portal watch - Tom Bronco
Run and press and you won't need as many big players and it will be more fun and exciting to watch. At least give us a few thrills as your season goes down the tube....

re: LSU basketball transfer portal watch - Tom Bronco
[quote]From a purely offense perspective, it makes sense considering Mcmahon likes the 5 out set with a stretch 5 like KJ. Phillips was much more of a pure center so he didn't entirely fit that offensive scheme very well. [/quote]This is the major problem with McMahon. He won't change his scheme to ...

Jordan Wright would be better than some but he is still not the shooter we need at guard. This season he was 39.8% from the field and 31.5 from three. ...

re: "Nobody Watches Women's Basketball", They Said! LSU Lady Tigers - Tom Bronco
[quote]With all of that being said, I'd bet the women's basketball program is still going to lose millions of dollars this year. For comparison, last year ticket sales grew by $842,526 and contributions grew by $551,336. The program still lost $6.55 million [/quote]I don't know if Coach Mulkey and ...

re: Josh Pate speaks on LSU football's future - Tom Bronco
What does 20 and 21 teams have to do with 2023? That's no more relevant than going back to 2019. Coach O is gone. The quarterbacks and a lot of other players are gone. The portal means you can change your lineup immediately. I don't know how good LSU will be next year but I do know that it is a team...

re: Scott Woodward’s HC hires - Tom Bronco
Oh I fully agree with you. Football is king and always will be. So no AD will be fired over the baseball team, women's basketball, softball, tennis, swimming and diving, gymnastics, track and field or any other official sport I left off. I will say that when Dale Brown started getting us to the tour...
