Yesterday Clemson coach, Oliver Purnell announced he is not interested in the LSU job. Travis Ford of UMass and Tony Bennett of Washington State announced they are not leaving their respective jobs.

The Daily Mississippian says Mike Brey of Notre Dame is the candidate favored by LSU officials. Andy Kennedy of Ole Miss is also mentioned as a possibility.

The Seattle Times reports that Stanford coach Trent Johnson has had preleminary talks with LSU.

The Baton Rouge Advocate says LSU associate athletic director Verge Ausberry indicated LSU will have conversations with LSU interim coach Butch Pierre and North Texas coach Johnny Jones, a former point guard and assistant coach at LSU from 1981-1997.

LSU is about to realize that their basketball program doesn't carry anywhere near the cred their football program does. They're going to have to money whip Johnson or Brey to get them out of their respective jobs.

I hate to say it...but its looking more and more likely that we'll be searching for a new coach by tax day.

The silver lining may be our commitments seek other options.

I don't know....JJ isn't even on the LSU radar on the board I've been lurking on the last couple of weeks. Then again they still haven't given up on VCU's Grant, and that ship left port awhile ago.

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
