MBB Final: Louisiana 88, USA 79

Figured it would take a little bit for the team to gel. Everyone is finding their role and playing it perfectly. Coaches have been doing a great job mixing and matching the rotations for the right matchups. Energy and effort has always been there. It’s all starting to come together now. Looking forward to the home stretch!!

Agreed. They also look like they are having fun and really enjoy playing together. The effort is absolutely there. That effort and defense will keep us in most games.

Earlier in the season, it looked like the team had to live and die by the 3-pointer. Seeing Kitinge become acclimated in the paint has been great to see considering it changes the entire dynamic of the offense.

Now let’s continue this win streak at home and support these guys.

You do realize every single conference win we have is to a team with a losing conference record and sit at the bottom of conference standings. We’re going to have to play a lot better to get into the top 4, but we’re only one game out of 4th.

Not surprising coming from you. 2 of our 3 losses could have and probably should have been wins. I’m sure even if we had won those games you’d still be complaining about something. Lol

What is the status health-wise for the entire team? I know there's been a couple of guys out recently, but there are some that haven't played all year. We can't keep playing 8.

Hardy was still in concussion protocol. Think he should be good to come back Thursday.

What is refreshing is doing what they are supposed to do.

Beat the teams below you.

We are one of only 2 teams in the league to have 3 road wins. The other is App State. That stat offsets who we have beaten. Teams in front of us will get a few more losses as they begin their four game road swings. Once again, don’t assume playing at home automatically equals success. I don’t think the team will and will prepare properly for each opponent.

Correct. We only shot 20 3 point shots this game but there have been games where we attempted in the 30 range. Much more efficient

Maybe but he's right. We'll have to play like we have the last few games to get to where we want to be
