That guy who missed a BUNCH of free throws, shouldn't see the court inside of 2 minutes. He's hard to watch shoot a damn FREE throw.

Guy defending the last pass is just inept.

Haven't watched 1 minute all year, and had to be unlucky enough to see that last minute of both halves.

New coach wont help at this point. There is no desire...NIL has killed work ethic

It’s McMahon’s team therefore it is also his fault.

He is on borrowed time now thankfully

If only there was a person paid millions of dollars to help coach said players, and recruit said players. Guess we just got unlucky with all these players….

New coaches in the league seem to be doing well, why not here?

They were positioned to win. Thats on the coach as well. Their lack of basic execution, after being placed in that position, is in them

If iq, rebounding, and perimeter defense are issues across multiple seasons, then maybe it is the coaching

I never thought I'd see it but Kentucky somewhat made up for Dukes Laettner shot against them, I never thought I'd see a coach allow it either. And it only took around 30 years to happen!

We have had basically 4 different lsu teams under McMahon. They all possess the same mental weakness of not being able to sustain a big lead against any decent competition. No matter what team it is they are getting blown out the first half or the second half to put the game in the loss column. I’ve never seen a team of his play two complete halves. The end of that game last night should never happen

OP hadn’t watched 1 minute all season until last night, everyone should definitely listen to his opinion.

^^ Unfortunately this is much more common on TD than it should be.

So you’ve watched 2 total minutes of this season and now have it all figured out?

So players put themselves in and take themselves out of gsmes?

Coach has no role in deciding who’s on the court?

It's a shame McMahon has had his hands tied and wasn't allowed to recruit or bring in the players he needed. Really not fair to him at all.
