Lsu might have just...

OTOH Vandy played well at Florida and knows how important a win over us would be Saturday.
 
Yup, they got their butts kicked in hard. Win the SECT or send ben simmons on his way. Mr. Jones is truly a talented coach to have squandered away that much talent. They will never have this much talent again and he couldn't even make the tourney. He may have just started the fire on his seat after this one.

Has a team ever not made the NCAA Tournament with the best player in college basketball? That will potentially happen and would be an embarrassment if that were to happen, but expected with Jones as coach. Just think where we would be if we could have added him to this team? Definitely the best team and potentially undefeated right now. It felt like a waste for him to go there when he announced it, and it looks like that will be right.

Simmons might be the most talented freshman in college basketball - but he is not the best, because his coach didn't develop him to be

could be a great basketball trivia question for years to come.
 
Let's not forget they have "Embassy Suites" Blakeney as well.
 
I believe that Simmons is the best prospect in college basketball, and a very good player currently also. But, the thing is, LSU has more than Simmons. I can't speak to the depth, but LSU certainly had a very nice looking starting five on paper. They have to be one of, if not the, most disappointing team in college basketball (although with the talent UCLA has, they might give them a run for their money on most disappointing).

That LSU lurker should come back. I remember him saying how much of a disappointment Cal has been. Well LSU has more than likely the #1 pick and a cast of good role players and they are on the verge of missing the tournament. Jones is just awful.
 
I would think, on just about any other major Div. 1 school, that if they had Ben, he would be a clear cut POY. What Jones has done to him this year is unfathomable.

Yes, even considering it's Johnny Jones.

ps - he was one of those infinity race car drivers they showed on that commercial, right? Did he have an accident and bumped his head or something doing that?

There's gotta be a reason.
 
Not only are they going to miss the NCAAT but they won't even be a 1 seed in the NIT.
 
When will they ever learn? These kids like Simmons and Newman come in thinking they are all world and will be a different maker to lead their teams to championships. Congratulation, you only live once, only have one time to experience college basketball and you choose these crappy programs.
 
Waste of talent, to bad he didn't come here, oh well, what could have been, oh and fire Jones:popcorn:

Meh, I don't think Simmons really cares about that, he's about to be a multi millionaire. That's really all that matters. He plays like he's just biding his time.
