I don't know why the hell bring up La Tech. I personally don't give a rat's backside about Tech. Only good thing about Ruston, it is a good place to take a dump between Jackson, MS and Texas when on I-20. Don't give them cred of any type on a UL site.
Bottom line, UL basketball and the SBC just sucks. No, not a flamer, find my post under Don Allen to see how much I use to care if you have any doubts. We have not had a coach worth a flip since Bobby P. We had Marty the clown, Jessie and the thugs, Robert's lost adventure and I don't know what the heck Marlin is doing, other the regurgitating the same thing every year, "Well, we are young." Positive consistency is what has been lacking with the coaches we have had. One good year does not make a good coach. Pull it off a few years in a row. I don't see what the challenge is in the SBC, once a strong mid major that sometimes received multiple NCAA bids, now a play in game to the NCAA tournament joke.
Somebody wake me up when UL basketball is relative again.
