Congrats, you would think such an elite basketball school like LSU, would have a winning record all-time against such a weak opponent like Alabama, instead Alabama leads 117-75, not really that competitive.

Of course people talk about making the Elite 8 or Final 4 . And they certainly are what sticks out and do certainly matter.

However, give me the coaches that continually have very good seasons and therefore make the tourney with a decent seed and the Elite 8s or Final Fours will tend to happen.

Often with the weaker of their good teams too.


There's just so much luck involved in only 1 or 2 basketball games.

One shot missed or made and Alabama doesn't make the Elite 8 this year but beats UCLA a couple of years back with the Herb Jone's team and ends up in the Final Four.

Auburn could have easily made a couple of plays against Yale this year and then won a 2 more games.

It's such a crap shoot that you just want a program that's there rolling the dice every year.

In the last 35 years, LSU has made three sweet sixteens, one elite eight, and zero final fours.

In the last 4 years, Alabama has made three sweet sixteens, one elite eight, and will play for a final four. If you look at the last 35 years, Alabama has double the number of sweet sixteens and elite eights as LSU.

Alabama seems to be trending in the right direction. LSU not as much.

Another disappointed Tigah fan.

You're having a bad time.

Wrong.

Even as an Arkansas fan, I know LSU made the Final Four in the 2000's.

Which means your entire point implodes, LSU has done what ALabama hasn't
