Louisiana at Texas St

[Turbine]

Another typical meltdown. When the hell we gonna get offense around here. Can't win games shooting 25% fg an 50% FT no matter how good your defense is. These guys have no sense of urgency and listen to all the "pub", just like football. Hopefully baseball doesn't fall into the same trap. I think Robe has a better group of fundamental based kids around him

Most typical meltdowns occur at the end of games.
This meltdown occurred at the outset with another unneeded void after Shawn fouled out.

I,would call it an atypical meltdown and the "a" doesn't stand for another.

The last two games were lost when a key player fouled out.

Stove then Shawn.

Granted Shawn was having an uncharacteristic game but the Cajuns were storming back and when he left they went through another cold spell reminiscent of the disastrous first half.

Much of the enthusiasm for men's basketball is gone...and won't easily be rekindled anytime soon. I just don't know what to say or think anymore.

I am really apprehensive about next season.....

I am really apprehensive about next season.....

I was thinking the same thing. Without Shawn's presence in the paint...which was overwhelming to some teams...we may not be competitive at all.

No matter how you slice it, you lost to TxSt in late Feb, with conference seeding on the line.

Yep. You can't polish a turd and that's exactly what this loss is.

Do the eternal effervescent sunshine extruders generally do the polishing post or pre slicing of the excretion, doc?

It is a shame some of us blame our student athletes for the losses. They are the tools, the craftsman, Marlin, keeps buying tools. It is time for all to question the craftsman's ability to use or choose tools.

Nobody is saying our tools are out partying, not attending practice, or classes for the most part they are doing exactly what the craftsman demands.

Great analogy I buy into it.

However, I think the craftsman demands that open shots fall inside the hoop and his demands are not being met.

It's something that is hard to teach. Look no further than "hack-a-Shaq"

Don't worry, in a few weeks someone will be telling us how great the whatever tournament we w h *** ourselves into is.

I understand that we can go out and hit 100% of our free throws in a game. What I am saying is that we need to hit 75%. In close games hitting 75%, which is not unheard of, will win games. Look back on the game we have lost by only making 50-55% of those shots. "Hack-a-Shaq" (Long) is only one player. He can hit 50% all year and the other four plus 3-4 off the bench hit 75% I will take that all season.

He bought the tools, and I'm assuming he was convinced they were what he needed. He knew he was buying imported Vietnamese tools and not Craftsman from Sears.
