He had a winning season and doubled the wins before he arrived. I’m not sure I’d call that unsuccessful.

UC riverside is a really bad job. He laid a foundation there. They are winning with the players he brought in.

Re: Louisiana Men’s Basketball to Continue Homestand against Troy
Anyone else absolutely hold their breath everytime we’re inbounding the ball under the goal??
How does it take us 4 seconds almost every single time.

Impressive finish!!! Good win

Re: Louisiana Men’s Basketball to Continue Homestand against Troy
Horrible start by both teams, looked like both were only going to have single digits the first 10 minutes of the game like WBB. Wesley had a good game, drove to the hoop more tonight.

Re: Louisiana Men’s Basketball to Continue Homestand against Troy
The team hustled the entire game.

Re: Louisiana Men’s Basketball to Continue Homestand against Troy
Nice win, there. Troy is talented.

Re: Louisiana Men’s Basketball to Continue Homestand against Troy
Marlin actually did well tonight. When the Troy player got teed up for smack talking Bob in the first half he didn’t talk back. He didn’t lose it at half when Wesley went down on a no call (officials viewed replay and called a double T). And he did a good job rolling players in and out on dead balls the last few minutes of the game.
Much better effort by everyone tonight compared to that train wreck against South Al.
Never heard what happened to Brown.

Lots of intensity in this game by both teams. Trojans seemed to like to talk a little smack as well. Troy has some talent as evidenced by the fact they were in first place prior to tonight. Personally, I think South Alabama is more talented overall. Maybe that is because they are a bad matchup for us as they have quick AND big guards. Makes it tough for our midget point guards to handle them. Trojans have a couple of shorter guys at point like we do. Best thing about tonight was the way our bench enthusiastically supported their teammates on the court the entire game. Good things usually happen when that occurs. They erupted when Greg Williams Jr. hit a three with the game tied at 57 with about three minutes to go. Maybe that is because Greg has been struggling with his shot some and they were happy for him. Now we will find out if they can keep this kind of effort/hustle going for more than one game.

At the game on Thursday, I saw him grab his shoulder. Was worried he separated it. But he kept playing.

He hurt it then and it locked up on him in the morning. They will find out how much damage tomorrow

He practiced (no contact) Friday and went through shootaround, but he was hurting. Decision was made to hold him out and put him in a sling as a precaution. I think there's a good chance he'll be ready on Thursday.
Troy killed me (as a broadcaster) last night. Black unis with crimson numbers (barely) trimmed in white. Names on the back of the jerseys with letters so close together you couldn't read them. AND they played 13 guys in the game. We didn't play them last year so I've never seen any of these guys. It was like playing an NAIA team early in the season as far as trying to get things right.
But I still like Scott Cross, anyway.
Last night was a really good college basketball game. We kept turnovers down (we had 12) and turned Troy over seven times early in the second half. Defense was on point just about all night and we made some really big shots down the stretch (The aforementioned shot by Williams might have been the shot of the game, along with Kobe's turnaround off glass after rebounding his missed shot.) We got four straight stops on defense in the final minutes.
Despite my issues trying to figure Troy out,, it was a fun game to broadcast.

The optimist says the good perimeter defense the Cajuns played in their 4 league wins will show up. Also, That was a good analysis by Jay WalkEr on last nights game. It was tough even on fans to figure out the numbers on the Troy uniforms.

Re: MBB Final: Louisiana 69, Troy 59
As long as the zebras don’t get confused I’m not worried about numbers. It doesn’t take long to figure out who’s having a good or bad night.

It is not just this year. This has been happening for the last 10 years.

That is a surprising stat. However, this league is very balanced and those schools have been in several close games. I have seen most of the teams play and it is truly a situation where any team can win on a given night.

I’m very happy that GSU is struggling. I’m not in agreement with your view that there’s no dominant team. ASU has the best player in the conference and yes all can be beaten. ASU will have the best regular season record IMO.

Re: MBB Final: Louisiana 69, Troy 59
I think it’s fair to say that everyone in this conference is equally as ____y as the next

I don't think GASO is very good. Georgia State has five super seniors on their team. They've been abysmal shooting the ball, yet they've been in every game. They lost Thursday on a buzzer beater and Saturday in OT when they couldn't throw it in the ocean.
They WILL break out of it. Just hope it isn't Thursday.

Re: MBB Final: Louisiana 69, Troy 59
So I hear that there was some type of incident at the end of the 1st half which resulted in double T’s. Someone care to give me the rundown on what happened?
