Auburn blew them out

UK lost their PG

You should watch some college basketball sometime, because you cant create a mismatch with a pass.

When we played those three we games we believed we won big games over Ky., Tenn and Florida on the road. True or False?

Now you can look back and throw out the Ky win but you’d have to throw out all the games Pinson missed too right? I don’t because good teams adapt. Your bench had to step up. Our bench didn’t step up and stop the bleeding.

I may be wrong but I thought we hung in there for a long while at Auburn. I could be wrong, but winning those three was seen as a big deal when we did if.

I like WW, and you'd think that one of these seasons, all his 5-star recruits may actually be good at basketball and be able to both score and play D.


How many 5 stars are on this team? Look around the SEC, how many 5 stars do other teams have.

This team is not more talented than most of the top half of the SEC this year.

People who make statements like this show their true colors.

Wait, I didn't think injuries were an excuse...

Also, UK just blew out Bama without their PG and SG.

After Saturday, Florida is absolutely a tournament team.

Three things not to bring up socially:

1. Politics
2. Religion
3. At-large resumes of bubble teams during the first two weeks of March

What?

If you don’t have response, just don’t type anything.

This is pretty funny. What is the "top half of the SEC"? 5 teams are tied for 5th place.

Are they more talented than Vandy, Ole Miss and South Carolina?

Eason is projected to be a top 10 pick. Reid 5*. Williams 4*. Murray 4*. Fudge 4*. Wilkinson 4*. Gaines 4*. O'Neal 4*. Days 4*.

It's a wonder LSU has won any games with such a talentless roster.

I see you still refuse to educate yourself when it comes to understanding recruiting rankings in college basketball. It’s not football ok? Kentucky has 2 top 25 players and 2 top 15 guys. We have 1 top 25 guy, (Reid #24) so stop acting like we’re similar. Auburn has a top 20 and a top 3. Tennessee has 3 top 25s and a top 3. Alabama has 4 top 30s and a top 10. There are other examples but you should get the picture though I doubt it since you’ve got an agenda.

If the same people that labeled Reid a five star player gave these other players a four star I seriously question their judgment. Some of these guys are overrated. Just bring athletic doesn’t make you an elite talent.

But we have good talent, but we don’t have top ten talent. Our players have notable deficiencies, injury issues and some are just rookies.

Got it. So more talented than 6 of the 8 teams who've beaten them.

Sounds like overachieving to me.

I'll make a note about it not being football. This whole time I was wondering why they weren't wearing pads and helmets.

Think about it like this. Of all freshman in the country only 4 who ranked outside the top 30s average double digits and one of em is Brandon Murray, the 89th overall player. Even within the top 25 you’ve got 5 players averaging fewer than 4.8ppg, 3 of em under 3.5 and one averaging 1.2ppg. Unless you’re a top 25 guy chances are you’re not gonna be a significant contributor until later and possibly never.

Are the same ones who rated all the players on all those "more talented" teams.

That’s right move the goal post again and keep proving you have no intention of being objective.

Wade gets guys ranked in the 80s and 90s to compete with and beat guys ranked in the top 15 but “muh wasting all this talent.” Tell us you don’t follow basketball without telling us you don’t follow basketball some more.

It’s getting better but it’s not at the level these morons think it is. They think we’re a blue blood level talent wise when we’re not even close. We’ve gone from our more talented rosters having 3 or 4 top 100 guys to having 7 or 8 but we’re not at a point yet where we’re getting multiple top 15s or better like these teams bandwagon fans think we should be on par with yet. Next year we’ve got 3 five * kids coming in, that’s another step up. Duke wasn’t built in 5 years, none of them were yet people here think it can happen in a fraction of the time at LSU of all places. It’s ignorant

The point I questioned was that LSU isn't as talented as "most of the top half" of the SEC.

Aside from that being mathematically confusing, it's just another lame excuse for underwhelming coaching.

BTW, when you say "move the goalpost" it makes me think we're talking about football again.
