LSU has a terrible fanbase when it comes to basketball. And I say terrible in the sense that when we play well, we show up to watch. When we don't, it's dwindled down to the hardcore fans which are sadly few and far between. We couldn't draw a decent crowd with money taped underneath each seat. Which other SEC schools are like this?

Ours is terrible too. We're averaging over 2000 less than capacity with the Marshall Henderson experience.

Mostly all of the SEC basketball Programs are terrible. Exactly why we start preparing for next football season immediately after the previous

If we win at bama Saturday, watch how packed the PMAC will be for Kentucky on Tuesday. It will be full of "fans" who will swear they've been to every game this year.

It's basketball in the SEC. And it's The American Way.

Ours is pretty bad until we start winning.

For example:
lost to K-state and then hosted #10 Oregon, no one comes..


Beat LSU and South Carolina last week.. Miss state game is a "sell out" this week..

ETA: "sell out" could change depending on how we play @vandy tonight

Shitty, shitty, shitty Arkansas teams still draw an average of 13-14k fans on the season.

If we could get a tourney team, we'd average around 16k.

A Swweet 16 type team (hell ranked, even) and we'd be right back at 19-20k per game. We lub bkb.

All but Kentucky. Maybe Tennessee to a point.

Well damn....another LSU fan that has surveyed all 50 states fanbases and knows for a fact that LSU fans suck in football and basketball. Judging by how many LSU fans like to come here and put down other LSU fans, you'd think we had the best fanbase ever because this is like the eleventy billionth post from somone putting down an LSU fan.
