I don’t care about any kind of basketball. That’s a personal preference and hold no grudge against anyone who loves it. It’s a mostly free country. I’m happy if anything LSU succeeds, but not watching basketball.

Historically, Baseball ranks a distant 3rd for me personally. (Too slow paced)

The current incarnation of LSU Basketball ("Curly and the Fighting McHallman's") is a dysfunctional mess though, with a HC that is clearly in over his head.

Anybody that says they don't like LSU Basketball are just saying that they've weren't around for Late 70's/80's LSU Basketball.

It was the rival of Football on the fan meter; just as exciting and anticipated as the games across the street.

We need that back again and the right coach can get it there!

Don't give up on us, baby-- we can still come through:

Date. Team. Quad. % Win

2/7. Georgia 2. 55
2/10 Arkansas 1. 46
2/14 @ Tenn. 1. 16
2/17 @ Texas. 1. 27
2/21 Alabama. 1. 39
2/25 @OleMiss 2. 39
2/28 Oklahoma. 3. 63
3/3 @ Auburn. 1. 20
3/7. Texas A&M. 1 45

Tigers still have ample opportunities to make noise come tourney selection time. They're not prohibitive underdogs in any of their remaining games

We haven't been good in so long i honestly don't know how i would feel. I honestly enjoy watching this years girls team but I don't think losing 7 million a year is worth that level of entertainment. I enjoy the drawn out baseball season significantly more..

Football is king. Baseball surpassed basketball many years ago. Personally, I really don't care about men's basketball.

You must care enough to come on here and post something about MBB.

If you really don't care about LSU MBB, then frick off and don't post.

Id say being 13-14 point dogs to tennessee will be pretty damn prohibitive

You must not watch any other sports if you think that basketball is unique in its wokeness.

Otherwise…I’m with you. Basketball has always been a sideshow that bridges me through the gap between football and baseball. LSU basketball in particular hasn’t been interesting since Daddy Dale retired.

TBH-I only care and sort of watch when they are winning. I've always watched football and baseball whether they are winning or not. Last year was tough for football. Can't remember the last time baseball wasn't winning good. Might have been a short stint in Mainieri's time where we had a down year or two.

I enjoy college basketball. Obviously not LSU over the past few years but I enjoy the college game when LSU is winning. I have no use for the NBA anymore since the 90's. Wade had some exciting teams Brady had some great runs and of course Brown.

I'm happier when any LSU team is considered among the best in the nation, including men's basketball. However, I'm not angry if that isn't the case.

I don't understand the continuous vitriol that many posters have toward the basketball coach. I wonder if they fear that a fan of another school is going to relentless and publicly tease them because our team is losing. (That's probably what they do to the fans of other losing teams.)

CMM is an awful coach and it’s hard to watch. He needs to be shown the door asap.

Lsu bball has always been competitive and fun even if it hasn’t been great in a min. Johnny Jones was better than this.

If LSU basketball sucking means that football and baseball are consistently in contention, then I am okay with it.

Distant fourth for me behind the other two & WBB.
