We are better than expected but still not good enough IMO. I like McMahon but there has been a standard set in LSU athletics the past few years and I don’t think MBB should be held below that standard for any reason. At LSU I don’t want to compete for an NIT spot, I want to compete for a championship like we do in just about every other sport.

Dude, if lsu can go to Athens and steal one, then they may have a chance against to get 1 of the next 2. Don’t look too far out.

It’s just going to take some time to get out of the shadow of the ncaa investigation/ruling. Going into last year was still a big question mark and kept recruits away. If he can pull a big name or two, develop his guys in support positions and team defense I don’t see how this isn’t a team with a solid chance to make tourney next season. I think it’s becoming clear that MM was not hired as a lame duck coach.

Most folks believe that basketball was sacrificed for football as a business decision. I don’t think you can hold basketball to the “standard” when the program was handcuffed by the “standard bearers”.

So you're expecting MBB to compete for a national championship out of the blue just because we've had recent success in other major sports?
