They DID take the lead with 2 minutes left in regulation. What game were YOU watching, TD Staff?? Anyway, somethings up with Tre. Hasn't looked like himself since the home game against Bama. Hope he's all right. We've already won as many conference games as we did last season - this is NOT the same team, but we're not world beaters either. Enjoy the ride or take a break if the process makes you a miserable frick.

The only thing wrong with Waters is he needs a consistent wing man. A steady geaux to guy would take the pressure off. Epps and Reath have shown potential, but neither have been consistent.

This team won't be .500 at the end of the season, just not that talented!!

If we can get 7-10 more win we can make the ncaa tournament but it has to be against florida, auburn, ketucky, etc u know teams that polish resumes with wins!

I like your enthusiasm, but I don’t see it happening this year. And that’s okay. Wade himself said 3 years to be where he wants to be. I think he’s a year ahead of schedule. The team needs to knuckle down and pick up as many conference wins as they can to carry over to next season! Keep fighting, Tigers!

Lose your lsu gear a-hole, and you obviously don't watch basketball this team has taken a huge step forward, it takes time to turn these things around regardless of sport, and it seems all you "fans" have forgotten this.

They did take the lead, got the ball back and then made a foolish turnover.

That’s what it looks like to me. Maybe he’s already got an endorsement deal and the NCAA hasn’t caught on yet.
