Final: Louisiana (77) at Arkansas State (76)

I should clarify. Last night.. I was talking about last night!!! :P


Z

Hands up.

He was feeling it.

III on the side of his eye.

We beat 3 non-D1 programs. Yes they go down as a W but come on.

I guess we shouk stop playing the guys on our early season schedule and start playing real powerhouses like Savannah State, North Florida or Jacksonville. I'm sure we would get slaughtered in the polls for that.

Like Florida

getting nasty.. Im done. If we come back and win, yall can "put it in my face" Dont see it happening, though.

Z

Love ya, Z.

Just like that 2 fts from technical, then a 3, then steal and 2
The lead is down to 2

Just for clarification, it was NOT a technical foul. It was a flagrant one called on Kelvin Downs for enough of an elbow to be ruled flagrant. In a technical foul, it's two shots and then you go back to the possession. In the case of a flagrant one foul, it's two shots PLUS possession of the ball.

It was Cajuns' ball anyway. But it wasn't a technical foul.

Good points, but like Turbine always says about bowl games, who the hell is gonna remember who we played in 3 years when we brag about winning 3 bowl games in a row?? Same with this, in 2 years when recruiting, whose gonna remember who we played when saying we won 20+ games in 2014?

I just look at it this way: FCS football games BETTER be chalked up as a win before the season and when the clock hits 0:00, our winning percentage goes up. Same with this, it's chalked up as a win being its on the schedule.

I am referring to this season, the season of seeding. NCAA, NIT, or the more minor events, those three will hurt regardless.

____ you

It's been eleven years since we won 20 in the regular season. In the last nine games, we have two losses, both on the road, against the top 2 teams in the league. I really don't give a rat's behind if we have three non D-1 wins. We lost twenty games last year. This year we won 20.

And, we're doing it the right way. I realize to many of you that doesn't matter (not pointing one at you, bear).

We may have to do some real rebuilding next year because we may lose two guys in addition to the seniors. Hopefully not.

Because if we only lose the three seniors we've got a chance to be really, really, really good.

OK ...here are the facts as I see them.....after 2 awful seasons we may have turned the corner. This season is a vast improvement over the last 2 and yes this team is capable of winning the Conference Tourney. But they will have to play consistently better than last night to do it......hope that wasn't too negative for anyone..

Did we turn the corner, or a dead end. Graduating Mbamalu as a senior, strong possibility of EP going pro early, Long always count him when he is actually on the floor. He may go pro as well. If CDS strikes we lose our top three players, and I can hear it now, we be young as we head into the second half of a decade of rebuilding.

We currently have three outstanding prospects assuming they all make it to campus, looking to sign one more, and if Long and EP stay we may indeed have turned the corner. This was the season to make hay, and we still can, but next season is a fog??????????????????????????

You are correct Mike. I enjoyed the Hell out of this win. Because I stated that this team should be playing better takes nothing away from that fact. It was simply a critical observation. You have known me and known of me for a long time and you know where I stand. Geaux cajuns

With all due respect, that statement is a statement of opinion, not a statement of fact.

Yea, well let's schedule a few more non scholarship programs to come in and pad Marlins resume. Florida is ranked number one, and will likely be the number one seed in the tournament. No doubt if we somehow manage to get into the big dance, we will lose at least one seeding position due to those three non scholarship programs, of course you cannot get seeded much lower than 16, so maybe it matters not. Wins against Savannah State, North Florida, and Jacksonville would be a plus for a team in our seeding zone, but a minus to a potential one seed.

Glad we got 17 1A wins, not deluding myself into saying Oh Joy, a twenty win season.

There is no question in my mind Rimmer had only four fouls when he was disqualified. At first I thought it was my mistake...that I may have missed something....and it wouldn't have been the first time. But the PA announcer said four, I said four, out coaching staff said four, they're play by play radio guy said four, the scoreboard said four.

I guess you need to say that to me, too.

Jay, do you really think that I am not excited about the year we are having? Making a critical observation does not mean that I don't realize how huge this year is. And we are doing this the right way....agreed

We thought the same thing last night.....
