Men's Basketball

No answer for Little Rock height.

Was watching stAte and remembered when the App game came on and I heard Beth Mowins' voice.

Looking like it is just “no answer.”

Also too many turnovers. Cajuns were obviously gassed at end of game. Not enough D1 players available now causing guys too play too many minutes. Tired legs obviously were a factor in open perimeter shots as several shots late in second half were short. Most of those were good looks. Ironic in that Russell's shot to tie at end was long. Nice play there to get him open with 3 seconds left. With PJ Hardy potentially getting added to list of guys out for year, every game will be a challenge as number of capable bodies continues to drop.

Yep. Basketball used to be my favorite sport - we went to nearly every home game when I was an undergrad. Aside from the Elfrid Peyton years, I've despised our play style...its just not fun to watch.

I'm thrilled that Marlin's teams have improved academically, but I don't go to games to watch their GPAs

If that’s the case, Monroe is going to destroy MBB.

We also went almost 10 minutes without a FG in the 2nd Half. “Injuries” don’t cause that. Poor preparation does. I don’t know what the answer is at this point, but almost all hope may be lost.

Dang, just saw no game thread... wow

Totally agree, any team with players over 4' tall seems to give Marlin trouble.

How many years are left on marlins current contract? 3 years after this season?

Come on guys, we gave Marlin a contract extension for a reason. We are THAT close to turning the corner! I will try not to say "I told you so" when we are in the Sweet 16 in 2 years.

Depends if they have any skill. We had a 7’ guy in h/s. He was always at the end of the bench.

What was amazing it took Little Rock’s coach, who played for Richardson at Arkansas, over half the game to figure that out.

I gave my tickets away, so at least they were used.

I’m hearing Marlin is done. Maggard will make a move soon.
It’s hearsay but not sure he will make the season.

Thank u! End this madness.

I’ll give credit for a good play. Execution was good, look was good. Should not had come to that.

I know Turbine appreciates the traffic of posting about Marlin on every thread. But...

Bob isn’t going anywhere. After WBB tanked due to injuries last year, Marlin is going to be given the same courtesy. Doesn’t mean I agree with it, but it is what it is.

As far as hearing “Marlin is done soon”, there are drugs for that.

Not going to happen. His buyout is to high.

Does the band still go to basketball games? At least give us some atmosphere. Assuming they don’t start going until football ends. The student section was empty by the way. I get it school is out, but its not like every damn restaurant in Lafayette is not jam packed tonight.

I noticed there’s still plenty of Marlin signed 400 win posters when you enter the Cajundome. Get em now because 500 won’t happen and 410 is not looking good.

Basketball used to be so much fun. Hopefully things turn around.

Something positive I saw was the play of the Freshman Wilson. I think he will be a real good player in the coming years as he gets more confident. Nailed a big 3 near the end to keep us in it.

Make Cajun Basketball Great Again!

Sweetn16 - Chaperoning the dance - community service project?

I watched the last 3 minutes on espn+ with my wife. She doesn't watch much basketball. She said “oh, what’s wrong with UL?”

Basketball is always a bit of an afterthought until the new year, but we are playing some uninspiring b ball.

Hope they get it together. Not too many Detroit Mercy’s on the schedule.

So what was the reason prior to semester break? Assuming they don’t do basketball until January. Really hurts the atmosphere in my opinion.

I miss the old Cajun Chicken, hell I miss the Pepper.

Can we get a mascot?

Been sayin "Fire Marlin" before I started screaming "Fire Hud".....YEARS AGO!!

The buyout isn’t an issue. The money will show up if it’s time. Just needs to happen. As soon as this season ends.
