I support him. I want the best for him and most certainly the best for the LSU Tigers. We need to keep winning and showing improvement.

But this place would be completely different tonight if that last play is blocked and rebounded by Kentucky.


This place is the home of good and bad overreactions.

The back to back wins is a good sign. Hopefully this is a turn around moment and he is getting his legs of how to be successful in the sec.

I will be honest and admit I've been harsh on MM earlier in the year at times where I've been more emotional. I do have some issues with his coaching, and I've pointed them out. I had issues with his predecessors, too. No coach is perfect nor are they every fan's cup of tea.

I do think MM is a good coach. I think it took him a while to fully adjust to the responsibility that is LSU. I think his first year happened, and it sucked, but we need to move on. I think that although our prospects were obviously better than 2-16 SEC, I think that our roster was genuinely garbage. Juice Hill and Kendal Coleman are the WORST players I've ever seen put on an LSU jersey. I don't even think John Wooden could make the NCAAT with those guys.

Our roster is a lot better than last year and I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised with our record this year. Bear in mind we have had a HARD schedule both in and out of conference, with our most difficult SEC games already behind us. We've done better than expected and we're gonna finish strong these last few SEC games.

McMahon's players this year obviously love him and playing for LSU. Our boys play hard, and they want to win. I can't say the same for last year... I think what's gonna hold us back will always be recruiting. We need to hire someone to help out with recruiting.

A couple of things I've noticed from a very "layman's" perspective:

1. He must have lit a fire under their butts about rebounding (sometthing about being 300th or so nationally in rebounding).

2. He's more active on the sideline, roaming and directing plays/players on both ends of the court.

You’d think the guy won the title last night by the majority of the posts on here. The guy beat two decent teams and you have these assholes taking victory laps and talking like he just solidified himself as our coach for the next 10 years. The overreactions to these two wins are 10 times dumber than when his critics bash him when it’s unwarranted

It was a good win and fun to watch.
I like how this team keeps playing til the end lately. Hard work beats talent type of thing.

No, firing WW set the program back 5-10 years. MM is a sunbelt type coach.

Money Mac has been fricking cooking this week.

I want to love him.

Can't have a collapse to end the year.

If he does the unthinkable and runs the table the rest of the regular season, the momentum is there to really step this shite up next year.

I’ve never disliked the coach and thought he deserved a chance. I was a fan of Wade as well.

No, Wade is better overall. He’s had some upsets this year, but that’s not the end all be all. He has to get better each year. At the same time look at McNeese.

How he finishes definitely still matters. The reason I feel ok about MM at this point is because the team has improved from last year and is continuously improving throughout this season. If we were to go 1-4 in our last 5 games that would somewhat undo that improvement.

I mean if he loses out all this good will would go to shite lol.

But they won't do that, hopefully this week was us getting the gears unstuck and we can finally start rolling. Have to keep improving though, next year could be a big year for him and tProgram

He still can’t recruit and is 6-7 in the SEC. After last night you’d think we’re a projected 3 seed in the tournament. Friendly reminder the coach 2 hours west won the SEC in year 2 and don’t care about the excuses of what MM was left with

Yes and anyone who isn't encouraged by the growth of the players and team under Mcmahon decided not to like him long ago and doesn't want to change their mind.

IMO he has shown improvement, but they MUST finish strong with this momentum to make me believe that he is going to bring us places.

Of course it does, and anyone with any sense would agree the outlook moving forward is better today than it was back in November. But regardless, year 3 was always going to be when the bar would get raised results wise.

Not really because next year has always been the money year. It is reassuring that the team finally seems to have come together and has some incredible back to back wins. If LSU doesn't make the NCAAT in year 3, I think he's gone.

The two wins have finally generated some excitement this season (winning cures all), still need to finish strong and have a good showing at the NIT.

LSU should safely be in the NIT with the new rules where they take the top 2 NET ranked teams from the major conferences that don't make the NCAAT.
