Louisiana vs Cal Irvine

[Ragin4U]

The tournament was fun. I'm always a fan of more basketball. They dominated 2 games and had a close one that would have been decided by 1 point one way or the other. Had we just called it quits after the conference tourney, then the season would have been an utter disappointment. The CiT made it far from a success, but we got a couple more wins, another week of basketball and had some fun along the way. Most teams can't say that.

100% agree and to those that say "glad the season is over", I've 2 words for you.Or maybe 4.

Had a foul to give. Should have fouled him the minute he got to the lane before he pulled up to shoot.

Yes...when Stove fouled just 4-5 seconds in their last possession, I figured they would foul again before UCI could get a shot off. The guy Best was took 2-3 long strides before pulling up for the rim shot....could have fouled him early and would have left them with 5-6 seconds to get off the last shot. Oh well, I was surprised we had a shot to win the game in the end. We would have stole one with the way we shot from the floor.

Slick---can't remember if there were 2 more fouls we could have had before their shooting FTs---Sure wish we would have fouled even on the shot!!!

If like to hear the explanation of the whistle to sub a UCI kid in while the ball is still on the rim! We missed a free throw- no one had gotten the rebound, and here comes a whistle. So with a live ball and no possession - they stopped play, let the kid sub in, then UCI inbounds the ball. WTF?!!?

Yeah, I was wondering what they were doing. Then they reversed themselves & had the sub leave... ??? Both coaches looked totally confused. Fortunately UCI turned it over on that possession. Were you at the game, Danny ? Didn't see you...

Fellas lets let it go. In the end all that this tourney accomplished was allowing Marlin to get his bonus for mediocrity. Hopefully it didn't buy him another 5 year contract. It certainly did nothing to increase Longs stock in the NBA draft.

Happy Easter

I "love" extended play.

Not sure what word I would use if UL had won.

Stove's foul was the 5th. They had one more to give.

I think the ref just messed up and blew his whistle early.

Marlin probably complained that the player shouldn't have been allowed in due to a ref's mistake and the refs ultimately agreed.
