Offense wasn’t the issue tonight. It was the piss poor D. We scored in 80s.

just to be known as a Women's Basketball school


That's crazy that a women's basketball school has 7 more appearances in the SEC football championship game than your football team. 6 SEC championships more than your football team. OH and LSU has 3 Football national championships in era of actually playing a championship game and Ole Miss has zero. Crazy how that women's basketball school farts out more winning tradition in football than Ole Miss.

With NIL I think Will Wade can prosper with the new rules - don’t shoot the messenger. I just don’t think he is final four championship material and that he is a placeholder until the arena is built and we can attract a top-tier coach.


Wade is about an elite of a coach as we can pull at LSU. LSU basketball isn't football or baseball.
quote:

I, for one, am not a fan of this hire. I don’t believe he is worth the buyouts to get him. What’s he done so spectacular at LSU or any other place he’s been since?


He made the tourney with 2 different schools 3 times in the last 3 years. He went to the tourney the previous 4 years at LSU. So he’s taken 3 different programs to the tourney 7 times. And that’s excluding his time at VCU where he went to the tourney both years. So 4 programs 9 trips to the big dance in 10 seasons. Thats elite.
quote:

Hes by no means a guaranteed tourney every years guy.


Well how do you explain him making the tourney basically every single year then.

He made the tourney every year at LSU except the first. Made it both years at Mcneese and made it this year at NC State.
Madking I’m just in this thread to say Frick Yea to the Wade coming back! I know we’ve had our arguments but The General works wonders! Let’s Geaux!
quote:

1 sweet 16 appearance in 5 years. Trust me he doesn't scare us.


3 years. One year the tourney was cancelled and another he wasn't allowed to coach due to the allegations. Also unlike LSU Football and Baseball, Basketball is a bad program at LSU in the last 25 years outside of the John Brady run with the all Louisiana group. Wade had LSU competitive year in year out in the SEC and had some big wins. It would be massive for our program to get him.

TLDR

Basketball expectations are not football or baseball expectations. Let tPear cook.

It would be funny to see LSU pay through the nose for a mediocre coach. Let the bidding war begin!


Holy shite the lack of awareness.
Keep holding onto hope PK. But your daddy is on his way back.
quote:

The obsession with Wade is nauseating. Our fans act like he’s the only good damn coach out there.


You're right. Wade isn't the only good coach out there. But he was really good while he was at LSU. He wins wherever he goes and dammit LSU basketball was so fun while he was here. Just accept tPear is back and enjoy the ride.
quote:

He's great at manipulating the RPI and winning regular season games to get to the big games, then craps down his leg once he gets there.


To be fair he really didn't get to coach his best team in the postseason.

Coaches also punted on almost every fourth down for nearly a century before everyone realized how stupid that was. I guarantee you if an analytics nerd ran the numbers what I'm saying would come out as the better strategy in that specific scenario.


Nope. Point per possession for the best teams in CBB are around 1.22. Elite teams shoots 35ish% from 3. Florida holds teams to low 30s% on average. None of that data points toward gifting the opposing team a 70+% chance at evening up the score unless of course you try to funnel the ball to a weak FT shooter and then foul him.
Much easier to move from Mens to Womens than the opposite. The women's game isn't remotely similar to the men's game.

Watching this Florida game... I don't think I've ever seen this but would foul in this situation? Up 2 less than ten seconds. Worst case they make two you get a last shot and you're the better team you would welcome overtime. Other option you let it all ride on a 3 by the other team that of course they just hit.


Considering the best offenses in college basketball score 1.2 points per possession this is a very flawed thought. Add to the fact that Florida is a good defensive team and coming out of a stoppage have a set defense the expected ppp on that possession was likely under 1.2. So in no way would it make any sense to foul up 2. Also consider the opposing team could make the first FT and miss the second possibly allowing them to rebound the ball and have a chance at a 2 to win the game.
You think Brad Stevens would come to LSU? The Brad Stevens that could name his job anywhere in the NBA and CBB. :lol:
