Probably had something to with the fact that Lafayette media did a ____ poor job of promoting this game from the get-go. They talked about it as if it were just another home game (big mistake) if you don't talk this thing up to what it is (a post-season appearance that we are hosting for the first time since '85), then people don't care.
Sorry, just ranting here, still not over that performance last night. I was really excited about this tourney as I know a few others were as well, I really felt like we could've done some real damage... but oh well. This team has some maturing to do mentally before we can expect too much of them.
Even the signs I saw on campus just said "Basket ball game tonight. Free with studnt ID."
It came across as just another game.
2000 was just about what i thought. We just didnt have a great team this year. Not much to get fired up about. The average basketball fan wants 3 things, dunks, threes, and wins. We needed more of all three this year. I think marlin is a very good coach, but if he cant get 12 players that can shoot free throws, make open shots, and 5 of them taller than 6'8" it will be hard to make the ncaa. iragee
I wouldn't consider myself much of a basketball fan, but after watching last night I'd say what we, as UL fans, should want is for these guys to make Free Throws. Sheesh.Quote:

Let's just be honest, the students don't show up! Outside of the first 6 rows in the student section, it's like they are watching a damn movie! We also have 7 years of crap basketball to draw from. The Cajuns need to find some serious athleticism from somewhere.
I went to the game because I support the Cajuns. Outside of that, I really didn't feel motivated to go.
My thoughts exactly.Quote:
