Thanks. No big deal. My wife does not like any attention being placed on her so my son subbed for her. She said after all he is a UL grad while she went to some school to the east.Quote:

Have no doubt the injuries are real, and unprecedented in UL basketball history. That's why we're being totally outclassed. A healthy team would still have many Marlin created obstacles to overcome, but that's just an opinion based on his lackluster history here.
And next year we can just blame it on a young team because of the injuries this year ... 2 birds with one stoneQuote:

Mike, if Cedric is hurting that much (and it showed last night), why doesn't Marlin give him a couple of minutes rest in the first and second halves? That is probably another reason Bob went with the zone all game long. Jaylon Williams could have played a couple of minutes in the zone defense and he has shown he can make a three point shot.
Let’s pay attention to the fact that coming in to the year, his 2 best players are still playing. Jalen Johnson and Cedric Russell. I’m over the injury excuse. The roster is just garbage if we are being honest. You are seeing that now.Quote:

I do agree that many of the players seeing time now are not as talented as we need to be competitive.Quote:
