Whew. Good win on the road. Not exactly how you want to win it but a W on the road in conference is a good W

Road win to open conference... always a good start

Good win. We have to find a way to stop these long scoring droughts.

You've got to be the most annoying poster in RP history. I stated that we were looking good on the road (should have added FINALLY) while building a big lead (which is the Marlin way - build lead early, lose lead late) while also saying that we had 2 individuals having stellar individual efforts.

After watching the team (as I have all season) perpetuate the same bad habits, I've gone back to my previous statements (that I have made all season) that winning is going to be difficult without bigtime efforts from individuals.

Please

When you mixing so many new faces and starters there will be growing pains. Relax my friend! Hopefully things shake out like season when we had a rough start. I must admit one thing, this is first time in awhile that our freshman playing look like that belong on the court.

Congratulations to the Cajuns. It's amazing a team can win a game when shooting so poorly in the last 15 minutes. I think they made all of three feild goals. However, a win is a win. However, it would be great if Marlin would start recruiting basketball players rather than "athletes".

Any road win is a good win. Goodnight Gracie....

Washington and Stove are really helping out this year, good for the future. Hopefully the future is now.

Washington, Stove and Wright can play the game. They are much more than just athletes.

It's painfully obvious.. without outstanding individual performances, this team in not winning much. Can't win on the road, no mental toughness. I don't want to hear "chemistry". Thats BS. The players on this team do not complement one another's abilities at all.

Nice road win for the Cajuns! Nice to start conference play with a win.

I agree about the freshman. I really like the contributions of Washington. Like his game a lot. Cajuns showed a little bit of the mental toughness I was complaining about.. That being said, UALR missed out on a lot of easy points down the stretch. Anyway, road wins are good wins..

And no disrespect to BJ, but if UALR is such a tough place to play, why are they a perennial cellar dweller in a bad basketball conference? I get what you're saying, but we should be able to go up there and win with some consistency. It's still UALR.
