Alleva is terrible until we get a new AD I doubt we can depend on him to get us a slam dunk hire.

In the past 20 years it is unacceptable that LSU basketball only has 1 Final Four, 1 Elite Eight and 3 conference titles.

Then again, Arkansas basketball in the past 20 years has 0 Final Fours, 0 Elite Eights and 0 conference titles.

Damn, I don't feel so bad now.



I don't blame you for picking 20 as your magic number, gets much worse if you go back a little further

I'm not saying they should always be on the same level as a program like Kentucky but they should be much, MUCH better.

I wish they would cancel the sport completely and spend the excess on baseball.

What sucks is that a shite ton of LSU fans don't even care. They would rather talk about baseball practice. Basketball is probably the third or fourth most popular sport here, so we won't attract a good up and coming coach. Maybe Stansbury will take the job.


The LSU Administration did this to basketball themselves.

Brady came in and tried to clean up the mess left behind after Dale Brown, and he did a pretty decent job. The problem is that he was unlikable, so when they were losing, no one backed him.

So LSU fired him knowing that a talented senior class was graduating the next year, and they hire Trent Johnson. At the time, it seemed like an okay hire. The man succeeded at Stanford, but very quickly we found out how terrible of a fit he was. He wasn't a good recruiter, he was terrible at generating hype, and he seemingly rubbed the local HS coaches the wrong way.

Johnson takes the 2009 team and wins the very weak SEC, and unfortunately gets an 8-seed. They run into the buzz-saw that was UNC and a good season just vanishes.

He sucks after that season and really struggles to recruit. He "resigns" and takes the TCU job, and LSU fans get excited. Maybe we can get an exciting hire....

Instead we get Johnny Jones, a guy who went 91-89 in the Sun Belt. Yay.

But hey, he manages to get a future NBA star in Simmons, and that brings publicity and excitement to the program. All that did was make the failure of last season that much worse. So yeah, the LSU basketball is dead and I don't blame anyone for not following this dumpster of a program until the AD finally shows they want to invest in it.

It's ridiculous where the program is right now.

We actually have decent history if you look it up.

Alleva could give two shits.

Lazy, underachieving, and gets pounded on more than your backside.

But it gives atm a reason to strut around and be internet badasses.

Only relevant because of the large number of people that talk about how irrelevant they are.
