Strength of schedule

NOTE: The link above is from “TeamRankings”. It may not be the official ranking used by the SEC or NCAA

With all of this bullshite banter going back and forth between McMahon/LSU fans and the delusional Wade/McNeese fans on this board, I looked at the SOS between the teams.

First LSU, in year two of a complete rebuild, is sitting at a SOS of 72 as of today (3/15/24). That is almost dead last (13/14) amongst SEC teams at this point. Only media darling USCe is lower, currently at 79, & they just lost by 31 to Auburn in the SECT. Surprisingly, Miss (55), Aub (57) & UK (58) were also fairly low for such a strong conference.

Now let’s look at Will Wade & the all powerful McNeese State’s SOS. If you scroll all the way to the very bottom of this link, you will see NC Central at 362. Now scroll up 4 spots to McNeese at 358. Only 4 teams in D1 BB played an easier schedule than WW this year. Pretty pathetic.

Other in state schools you ask?
Southeastern - 318
Grambling - 324
Southern - 332
UNO - 336

All finished with a SOS at least 32 spots higher than McNeese. Great job Will. Right now they are a projected 13 seed and slated to face a 4 seed in Alabama. Good luck, General!

Is there a reason you didnt include RPI numbers from the same website you linked?

Probably because

McNeese- 51
LSU- 120

You are shocked that a Southland team has worse sos than LSU? Or are you mad that LSU has a bad sos within the conference?

Heaven's Gate would be jealous of the cult of Will Wade. All for a coach who would have jumped at the opportunity to leave LSU if a bigger job came along

TPK is terrible.

This whole thread is terrible.

Wade has taken 3 different programs to the NCAAT at age 41.

Oh noes, SOS.... let's look at NET and Kenpom and actual teams in the NCAAT.

It's so numb-numbing to discuss LSU MBB.

My favorite is one of them starting a thread about WW then another cries about too many people talking about WW. This is how he’s brought up over 90% of the time on this board.

I’m surprised a team that plays in the Southland Conference has a bad SOS.

McNeese played at Michigan this season and won. It’s not McNeese fault Michigan ended up being terrible. They stepped up, scheduled a big name, and took it.

30-3 and in the NCAA tournament and you’re strutting around about SOS. Pardon my French but you’re a fig.

Thanks for going through all the trouble of looking that up but let me point out the elephant in the room you somehow missed in all your exhaustive research. Mcneese somehow managed to make the tournament for the first time in 22 years. A fluke? A fortunate set of circumstances? Divine intervention? Maybe all of the above. The eye test should tell you that more than likely Wade is at least an above average ball coach. Did he make some horrific "bro what wtf were you thinking" kind of mistakes? Yep. He did. He's also very young. I did some stupid af shite when I was his age. Wade had a lot of success at a young age as a coach which led to some mistakes. I don't understand why we are so quick to be understanding when a young athlete makes tragic mistakes yet a young coach is expected to be more human than human. Hell I don't know maybe Wade found a way to cheat his way into the tournament. Either way I know I'd be a lot more excited about LSU basketball with Wade at the helm than our current coach.

Same.

I notice that a lot. It's troll or stupid.

"I don't want to discuss Wade, therefore I will start a topic about Wade." And the other trolls get angry WW is a topic.

It's fricking hilarious.
