I find it funny to see so many fans go and put down their school in these rankings.

LSU cares about their third sport nearly as much as Florida fans do their first.
That's complete and utter bullshite.

You're right to an extent; our fan support sucks in comparison to the amount of success we've had. But the hyperbole you're spewing is incredible.

You're honestly saying that LSU cares almost as much about basketball as Florida does about football? That's insane. LSU doesn't care nearly as much about basketball as Florida does about basketball.

I was wondering if a Gator would come in and see all of this.

How can Florida, a team that has won 2 titles in the last 10 years, be less than 2? They pack the arena out all the time and is a guaranteed sweet 16 team every freaking year. That isn't caring about bball?

We have had black bear and mountain lion sightings in Southern Missouri, Northern Arkansas as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCb-crK4GRc

Auburn...and then a big gap

Georgia (Stegasaurus used more for hoops or gymnastics these days?)


Missouri fits in with Tide/Hogs/Vols/Vandy

Florida cares more about basketball than LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Ole Miss. Don't kid yourself. At three of those schools, basketball is just a fill-in between football and baseball.

Again, our support is bad relative to how successful our program has been under Donovan, but it's still better than the fan support at those schools.

Dude, if LSU basketball was a top 10 program like Florida is in football, I GUARANTEE there would be more fan support for LSU basketball than florida football. Not even close.

Again, that's complete and utter bullshite. But whatever. Unless LSU stumbles upon a HOF coach in the near future, we'll never know.

MSU is a tier too low. We are certainly not on the same basketball tier as Ole Miss(prettymuch none of their fans would argue this). Maybe after they get their new arena it would be a fair comparison...

The similarities between MSU and Alabama's basketball fanbases are uncanny really.

I'd say some schools do actually care about basketball. First page still eight pages and 24 hours later.
