Is it just me, or does anyone else feel

[Hudsheen#Fired]

i dont care what anybody says
this team fought there butts off

thats one constant I have seen throughout this season, this team will fight till the final buzzer

I really think it would be a different story had Coleby stayed. Although Long has been REALLY good on the boards as a freshman, I don't he's a true big man. He spends a lot of time lurking around the 3-pt line.

I definitely have not given up on Marlin as a coach. I repsect his old shcool 'my way or the highway' and I'm the HMFIC here, but today it's hard to findtop tier recruits that can conform to that when they can go elsewhere and be ta-taaad and run the show.

It was a fun game to watch last night. We had the game won in regulation before a silly turnover from a freshman. Growing pains.

On top of that, the whole philisophy of the program is changing on AND off the court. Changing to a smaller, faster, more shooting philosophy that Marlin has already been successful with and running out the Gradnigos of the world. If it takes a year or two more to have a solid TEAM that plays that way and is exciting to watch (they already are IMO), I can wait. And you should too.

Marlin got a raise because he's running things the right way. After Jesse and Robert Lee, it's a breath of fresh air to have a coach that knows the game and isn't a cheat.

This is the correct answer.

May we have the patience to see through this patch.

Hit a few free throws and there ain't no OT much less double OT. I wasn't there but I know they played well enough to win they just couldn't seal the deal. Even if it was ugly

This team could have easily give up several time last night but didn't. NO it wasn't a win but if you can not see the progress the "TEAM" is making then I do not think you are being honest or you have not been to many games. I do not know how this season will turn out but I will be there for all of the home games and the conference tournament. The crowd was small but I felt this was the most the crowd had gotten into a game in a while, at least the second half and OTs. Hopefully once school starts we will have more students back at the games.

Geaux Cajuns!!

[BeauCajun]

I don't think many fans were into the game. I don't understand that. I saw some leaving at the end of regulation and some leaving at the end of the 1st OT. Why? You've just sat through 2 hours of entertainment and you gonna leave before the grand finale'? WTF. Heck, I stood the last 5 minutes of regulation and both overtimes. I look over to my right(I'm in 112) and not a soul is standing and cheering for their team. Sitting on their hands. Come on people.

I guess I shouldn't be POd about those folks who made it out on that rainy night.

Then I find out I missed out on the best Cajunredzone chat ever.

Not a good morning for BC. LOL. Rant off.

I could not disagree more. Things are not being run the right way. This is now going on 10 years of apathy and pathetic performance of which Marlin has been part of the last three years. I believe we have blinders on just like with football until Hudspeth got here. Marlin is not the guy to turn things around and it doesn't matter what is written as people are voting with butts in seats as in none. Sooner or later Farmer must realize that the basketball program is not paying for itself anymore. This is not a charity we need a successful team and all we have is Obama like excuses that make no sense. Oh by the way, its not because we lost last night it because we are 6 and 12 and lost to Texas Southern and others teams we should not have lost too. We need a change and the end of this season would not be to soon!

That UL basketball games have now become just something to do on a weekday or weekend night as opposed to getting really pumped for a key SBC matchup?

We're now a few games past the halfway point of the season, and quite honestly, all I see is another sub-par season just like last year. I HOPE this team proves me wrong and wins the next 13, but I just can't see it. No students at the games, rare flashes of crowd participation (where the hell did 1,2,3 CAJUN BALL go?) so I'm guessing others feel the same as me.

We all know these kids are young, but these guys have way too much talent to consistently be playing from behind. They are like the Dallas Cowgirls. Sometimes they show flashes of brilliance and hope for postseason dreams, then flounder it on the next few games.

Hope to see loads more ppl there Saturday night

The team just lost by 2 in double OT after trailing 13 in 2nd half. Worked their _____$$$$$ off.

10 years overall, BUT with a sign of things to come at the end of MY1 (Marlin Year 1)

Cheer up BC. It's Friday and you got a party to host tonight.

The early departures were quite baffling to me as well though. Funny thing was a lot of 112 and a lot of the students on the other side were standing towards the end. Folks in the middle? Not so much. No doubt these are some of the same people who occupy the middle sections at Cajun Field, there for UL social hour.

BTW, how was your Canes last night?

[anhil8tor]

THIS! I think Long wants to play the point more than the blocks. I think Brown would have helped this year as well. If Coleby stayed I think we win the Sun Belt.. this team has bought into Marlin and his system. You can see guys hustling their ___ off... We are close... very close.

I really think it would be a different story had Coleby stayed. Although Long has been REALLY good on the boards as a freshman, I don't he's a true big man. He spends a lot of time lurking around the 3-pt line.
