LSU Basketball: To Stay or to Go?

0:00On March 12, LSU basketball faces a tough choice about its head coach after another rough season. Matt McMahon is four years into a seven-year deal, but the Tigers have zero NCAA tournament appearances so far. This year brought high hopes with a stronger roster, yet injuries hit hard leading to just three conference wins and 15 losses. The athletic department now weighs sticking with McMahon for one more try, or starting fresh with a new hire. Four results have piled up, leaving fans and leaders questioning the path forward. Talk around campus points to Will Wade as a top candidate if they make a change. The former LSU coach delivered solid success during his five years there, posting a 105 wins to 51 losses record overall. He earned three NCAA bids and filled the arena with excited crowds thanks to his energetic style. These days, Wade thrives at NC State in his first year, with the Wolfpack eyeing their own tournament spot. Still, his track record in Baton Rouge makes him the name on everyone's lips.

1:03McMahon's overall mark sits at 60 wins and 69 losses, including only 17 conference victories in four seasons. Whatever LSU decides, the pressure is on to turn things around and give back to winning.
