Louisiana at UTA

They lost to Texas state and troy...they are not Kansas...they are beatable.

True but they look very good. Did Hervey play in those losses? That kid is fantastic, knee brace and all.

Announcers kept talking about airport layovers and bus ties of many hours and in and out hotels for nearly a week, TUFF on legs! Tuff on 50/50 balls, rebounds, shots start to fall short and Defense slows down, we had all the affects

That didn't seem to impact the Georgia schools too much last weekend. How are they so immune to leg fatigue?

They are really good and looked it but they already have 2 conference losses...one of which to a team we just beat...they are beatable.

thank goodness it was only a travel issue; i was so scared that maybe they were just that bad.

Our OOC schedule gave us a false sense of how good we are and seems like the more tape people get on us the worse we look. There is a blue print out on how to beat us and we don't adjust.

I agree 100 percent!

HAHA! There is bad, then there is terrible. We are not even close to being a decent team. Alden is going to have to fix football first, then, hopefully turns his eyes to basketball. This is absurd.

I know that we are playing without integral players that we anticipate having to make us a better/compete team, and never really expected more than a modest output from this team (winning wise). However, to play with no heart, passion and hustle is unacceptable. We have a young team who will learn how to win in time...and on that note, see you guys in the Dome Saturday night! 😀 I'll be drinking plenty of Dome Foam as an anxiety elixir! 🍺🍻

Hervey did not play in the games UTA struggled in. Metry mentioned that Bartley did not play well and that seems to be a key. He is right in that he played well at Texas State in that game and we won it. Key stat from last night. At one time we had 14 offensive rebounds and 0 second chance points. That shows hustle and frustration. You have to work hard to get that many offensive rebounds and when you are not rewarded with baskets it is natural to get frustrated which affects the rest of your game. Other than that there is nothing positive to say about last night and I understand the concern considering we have given up over 100 points in two of the last three games. I am starting to come around to the view that the problems in the half court offense may be responsible for some of that. Turnovers against a team like UTA leads to easy buckets while badly missed shots does as well.

You were young and single when in Lake Charles. That's why there was a Handy in your LC memory.

Our defense against penetration by the opponents guards is offensive. We always appear to trail our man going to the baskets and when other collapse we leave wide open three point shots or get there late and give up layups. That's what happened against GaST and last night against UTA. On offense, we also don't do a good job getting the ball inside against a zone to either score from there or kick back out for open shots. We seem to spend plenty of the clock dribbling with minimal player movement and having to take tough shots near the end of the shot clock. JMO
