How we looked? I remember App was the blind squirrel winner of the SBC tournament last year.

43-19 at half, 71-55 F. App had 11-0 run to start 2nd half, that invoked a period of CDS, but recovered.

The Dead Horse Theory. The tribal wisdom of the Plains Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that “When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.”. However, in government more advanced strategies are often employed, such as: Buying a stronger whip.

Thanks guys. Sounds a lot like the USM game I’d guess.

They were the 4E seed and got hot for 4 days and lost in a playin bracket game. Nothing to be excited over.

Went look at their schedule this year. Dey bad…

Wins are ETSU, William Peace, Akron, Hartford, Boyce and Erskine.

An unwarranted sense of complacency for our MBB program over the last two decades. I’ll be the first one to admit that Marlin has me to check out on the program that hooked me on Cajun athletics. The Indiana game killed what little excitement I had for this season.

However this year’s lackluster performance almost mirrors a large % of J Evans early out of conference results. A massive influx of transfers rarely results in a successful front half of the season.

Good riddance. Time for a change at the helm.

Offense in first half was much better than USM game. Defense was great in first half. Second half was a little sloppy on both ends. Perhaps having only 9 players was not all negative. Guys played loose knowing they were not coming out for mistakes. Harper and Cadwell both had strong games. They obviously worked while they waited.

UTA beats South AL by 2 in OT. Both of those teams look strong.

I thought maybe both FB teams filled in for missing bowl teams!!! Never mind, it’s men’s basketball.

Their coach was a student of the Bob Marlin You Tube course,“It’s All About three Days In March”!

Never worried about App. They should have noticed that the Big Fish was sipping egg nog in Lafayette. This guy Morris ain’t getting three days in March.
