re: How much can LSU pay for a MBB coach?
Posted by Tom Bronco on 1/13/25 at 12:34 pm
[quote]Downvote me, you know I'm right. We were on the uptick, and they blew it up, because LSU basketball was, is, and always will be at the bottom in terms of LSU hierarchy. Disposable.

re: LSU MBB 65 vs. Ole Miss 77 - Final - Tigers Fall to 0-3 in SEC
Posted by Tom Bronco on 1/11/25 at 1:16 pm
Givens is turning the ball over at a comparable rate as Carter and Sears. With more minutes I think this stat gets worse for him. So he is not an answer for this year or probably any year....

[quote]Ole Miss leads the SEC in turnover margin. One thing LSU is good at is turning the ball over. I'm surprised the normal spread isn't a little higher.[/quote]Not having a point guard able to run the offense without a lot of turnovers is killing the offense. So who should be playing where? Our s...
re: I think Mulkey should get a shot at MBB

At her age she definitely wouldn't want it. She's worked her whole life to be where she is now and knows what the ends and outs of the women's game are. To take on a huge new challenge at the stage of her life when she wants to spend more time with her grandchildren would be crazy....
re: Hoops had 3 SEC level talents and 2 are gone

[quote]So how are we assessing recruiting because if it’s strictly performance based that’s impossible to determine when they’re in HS.[/quote]It is hard even when there is a track record. Sears is playing his 5th year. He was the MVP of his prior conference and scored 21ppg mostly from three. Howev...
re: What are the chances McMahon is fired this year?
Posted by Tom Bronco on 1/8/25 at 5:38 pm
If McMahon had any honor he would resign and refuse any buyout money. Anyone of us who performed as badly at our job would be shown the street without a dime. ...
re: Why can’t Will Wade be rehired?
Posted by Tom Bronco on 1/8/25 at 3:23 pm
Thanks for taking the time to once again try to educate the ignorant Wade bashers on this board. My personal belief is that Dicky V and the rest went after Wade to keep the spotlight away from other coaches who were their personal friends. Wade did nothing that the biggest name coaches in the countr...

I knew we were in trouble in recruiting last year when McMahon got Curtis Givens. The kid averaged 5 ppg in high school. Last night he got his big chance and played 31 minutes. He shot 38% from the field and 37% from three and 50% from the free throw line. McMahon praised him for getting the team in...
re: 105-51…..4 straight NCAA Tournament appearances….Sweet 16
Posted by Tom Bronco on 1/8/25 at 11:19 am
We don't need another over the hill coach who has peaked and is on the way down. We need a young coach like Wade was who has a belly full of fire and will do anything to win. We need a coach who can pass this fire on and ignite his team to play hard from the opening whistle. We need a coach who is f...
re: I’ll be the first to eat crow….i really thought McMahon had turned the corner
Posted by Tom Bronco on 1/7/25 at 10:36 pm
100%. There is some talent out there. Collins and Chest are two of the better big men we have had they just aren't used very well. Sears was MVP of his previous conference and scored 21 pts a game. Carter is fast, quick and can jump. Bailey does everything fairly well and is good on defense and rebo...

Posted by Tom Bronco on 1/7/25 at 10:31 pm
Everybody tells me I shouldn't worry about how much money these coaches make because it is not my money. OK, fine!! Then fire this coach, give him his payout, and bring in a winner for once. I don't know how you can get much worse. He improves his roster every year but the record doesn't
improve. ...
re: Matt mctrash defenders
Posted by Tom Bronco on 1/4/25 at 5:58 pm
Another woulda, coulda, shouda game where we play a team of comparable talent but do everything we can to give the game away. This time it was another listless first half, tons of turnovers and missed free throws. It seems it is always something. McMahon just does not inspire this team to play hard ...
re: Dave Aranda is BRUTAL behind the microphone…
Posted by Tom Bronco on 1/2/25 at 9:58 am
Wow, I thought the exact opposite. He wasn't spewing out a lot of "coach speak" but real thoughts and emotions. Instead of throwing his players under the bus, he gave praise when it was due and empathy when it was not. I don't think he is a "genius" coach but he damn sure is an honorable, decent guy...
re: Who is more revered in LSU Basketball history, Shaq or Pistol Pete?

[quote]I'm not taking away anything from Pete but the statement that "he was all we had",[/quote] Certainly that statement was true the first two years Pete played Varsity. Yes, Apple was pretty good and Fig a little less so but Hess barely got in a game when Pete was playing. I didn't know Apple pl...

Posted by Tom Bronco on 12/29/24 at 3:27 pm
Sorry to disappoint but I was at every home game Pete played, including the freshman team. He was better than people say. It wasn't his scoring as much as it was his ball handling and passes that made him one of the greatest ever. On a modern team he would be a perrenial all star. ...

re: What’s the board feel about Perkins coming back
Posted by Tom Bronco on 12/17/24 at 11:46 am
If he doesn't fit in our defensive scheme then no. If they use him as an edge rusher, ok. Either way I think he is overrated and that the defense played better without him....

Another woulda could've should've game in the McMahon era. We have seen so many of them. I know you want your team to take good shots, but we try so hard to get a good shot and then have a turnover. Maybe we should just take bad shots.
We were so much better than this team. Should have been an easy...
re: LSU basketball is tied with UGA for the most turnovers per game in the SEC.
Posted by Tom Bronco on 12/6/24 at 1:30 pm
One thing I haven't seen mentioned in turnovers is that a lot are caused by uncertainty. Our players don't know where to go with the ball and look confused. The defense sees the same thing and traps. Don't handle the trap well and we have the turnover. Second type of turnover we do is just carelessn...

Heck, give her all of it. She probably did just as much coaching as Orgeron did those last two years....
