What happened was the Cajuns blocked a shot and Trajan Wesley got the ball with only a few seconds left. Trajan got to about mid court where a Troy player committed a really hard foul (that was not called). Trajan got up after the clock expired and he and a number of Cajuns were really upset. There was some pushing and shoving and eventually they went to there locker rooms with no call at the time. When they returned from halftime it was announced that Trajan and a Troy player had received technicals that offset each other so no shots were allowed but both players received the technicals.

Trajan brings an edge that the rest of the team doesn't have. Wish more guys on the team had his never back down attitude.

Typical cop out call by the awful Sunbelt zebras. Wesley was mugged and nothing was called. Then he gets a technical.

A total miscarriage of justices.

It was awful and the ref completely missed the call, Trajan and others had every righted to be pizzed at the situation. Their is no way he deserved a Tech. If anything he should have received 2 shots, it probably should have been a intentional foul.

He's the grittiest guy on our team

He is also the best PG on the team, it is a shame he is 5'9" and that might be a stretch. If he was close to or over 6'0" he would be much more of a threat. I love the way he plays, he just is somewhat of a detriment when facing bigger guards. But when you consider our other options are Brayan Au, who is not in playing shape, Greg Williams who is not a PG and Michael Thomas who while improved this year vs last year, is still not where he needs to be, Trajan is our best and in some cases only option at PG.

What's an even more surprising stat is getting outscored by 27 points in the final 27 minutes to USA at home.

Arkansas State has the best player in Omir but South Alabama has the best guards overall. Jags played some games with a limited roster due to Covid. I think South Alabama wins the regular season. Tournament is too difficult to predict at this stage of course. Last year App got hot from three for four games and that carried them to the title. Same thing could happen for a number of teams this year.

Thus validating Marlin’s view that only three days in March matter. The new teams are going to beat us like red headed stepchild. They take basketball much more seriously. They all have attendance better than anyone in the current SBC.

Re: MBB Final: Louisiana 69, Troy 59
He's just no threat from the field. If he was a 30% 3-point shooter it would help his penetration game. He also needs to let the screener get set before starting his move and needs to get closer to the screener.

I agree Marshall, JMU, and Old Dominion will be factors in basketball. USM still struggling now.

Well maybe they will push us along with the rest of the conference to up our game.

Southern Miss is outdrawing us my man. They’re getting better in basketball. Next year will be his 3rd year. If he’s not improving he’s outta there. They’re not kidding around like we do.

It’s the WHOLE conference’s view since nobody is going out their way to schedule a killer OOC schedule. The newbies arent here yet but they’ll fall in line.
Not defending CBM, just stating the obvious.

Re: MBB Final: Louisiana 69, Troy 59
Since it doesn’t matter, according to some, because we’re a one bid league we should exempt half Marlin loses vs top tier teams. Let the players enjoy getting some games that have fans. Who knows somehow we might become relevant again.
I’m seeing a pizzed off SBC fan base with many complaints we have.

Southern Miss is not good. And they aren’t getting better. They will likely have a new coach soon.

Memphis is 10-8, Covid and injuries. Shockers 10-8 also, 10th in standings.

I’d really like it if our next coach was a disciple of this offense.
