Nope. I said that was off the top of my head. Hayward Register, Xavian Rimmer, Kentrell Garnett. Plus it’s been far less than 200 players

There been probably been more players kicked off, or who transferred out on the oCajun's team over the Marlin years, then most other teams in the nation.

I'd like our chances if we had a rematch.

Players did settle down, cut it to 4 with under 2 minutes to go.

Looked more to me like we lost it at the FT line first while the 3's difference was not great either.

Brad was streaky. When he got it going he got going in a big way and could fill it up. I think he was around mid 30's percent for his last couple years. We have guys that will shoot higher than that this year from 3, possibly 3 guys. We have enough shooters IMO but its always better to have more.

That is nowhere close to accurate. Even before the portal change rule, near 1000 players were changing schools every year. Now no. Is double that. We have had plenty of issues with roster turnover but it is common. As far as yesterday goes, we were poor from the perimeter and that is bottom line. Can’t beat anyone shooting 15 percent from three. A few were bad shots but mostly a cold day. I do think we were a little quick firing them in first half. We made a comeback due to forcing turnovers ourselves and making some middies. Wish we would have taken more of those in first half.

I like your point . . . a made 2 is much better than a missed 3 . . .

Not according to analytics. If that were true, there would actually be something called a 10-foot jump shot. Those are hardly ever taken in today's game. It's either a three-point shot or a drive to the basket.

When you change the facts you are prone to win the analysis.

True, however missing from that analysis is how open a shot is. The middies made yesterday by the Cajuns were after being run off three point line. They were open looks
