[quote]Did realize we were pretty bad for a good chunk of the 70's. [/quote]
LSU during their longest streak:
1974: 5-5-1
1975: 5-6
1976: 7-3-1
1977: 8-4
1978: 8-4
1979: 7-5
1980: 7-4
1981: 3-7-1
LSU wasn’t terrible in the 70s, just not good enough to be top 20. 89-94 had some absolu...
re: BOOM! Four-Star Transfer Jordan Sears Has Committed to LSU and Matt McMahon!

Beat out Alabama for him.
Had he gone to Alabama the board would be complaining about how we can’t get transfers like him.
We land him and its we’ll see, he might be another Justice Hill.
This is a very big pickup. It was very very important that we get a solid PG to add to our current r...
re: It's funny how some of you are mad that LSU WBB was in the locker room for the anthem

If neither team is out there for the national anthem, no big deal. If one team is out there standing respectfully during the national anthem and the other team is in the locker room, then it is a very bad look and pathetic....

re: Teams that have turned down the NIT
Posted by LSUbasketballfan on 3/18/24 at 8:30 am
Teams turning down invites to the NIT is just silly. It’s basically the Music City Bowl/Texas Bowl/Liberty Bowl of college basketball. You never hear of football teams turning down leaser bowl games.
68 out of 362 Div. 1 teams make the NCAA tournament.
82 out of 134 FBS teams go to bowl game...
re: NIT forecast this morning (March 16)
Posted by LSUbasketballfan on 3/17/24 at 9:17 am
Johnny Jones lost the team and the fanbase once Ben Simmons’ team didn’t make the NCAA tournament. He was a dead man walking his last year here and the team was terrible. The talent was still there though.
Acting like Wade took over a program in shambles is just wrong. It was more of a team an...

re: 32 years ago tomorrow: The Brawl In Birmingham
Posted by LSUbasketballfan on 3/12/24 at 10:10 am
Kentucky fans were begging the officials to throw Shaq out for fighting so he’d be suspended for the next game. They got their wish and barely beat a Shaqless LSU the next day.
Shaq was getting beat up every game towards the end of that season and officials weren’t calling fouls. A no call on S...

This is the best Kentucky team since 2020. Plus they’ve won 7 out of their last 8 (only loss was at LSU) with wins at Auburn and at Tennessee and a blowout at home vs Bama.
