MBB Final: Louisiana 81, Coastal 64

[LaCajunsFan]

Semester starts the 10th.

And Rio had its ball last night.....one of the biggest. I know that impacted 4 of the regulars I usually go with.

I'm having a blast. We're winning so easily I'm having a hard time getting pizzed at the blind zebras.

My only slight concern in watching the game tonight.......LA played with double digit lead for last 30 min of game. Nearly all minutes with only a 7 man rotation (Stalcup a couple cameo minutes)......IMO to make a modest NCAA run, need a little more trust in the next 2 guys, foul troubles will be random. Only Stove scored off the bench. Russell controlled ball well......he needs to be able to slash/penetrate to expand to be more than just a long range jump shooter. No PJ Hardy sighting tonight at all? Last thought.......with Bryce Washington graduating, we need a strong PF addition to team next year to keep this party going.

With Miller starting in place of an injured Gant, the bench got a little thinner. I was surprised Davis did not make it into the game but not Hardy. Cedric is taking the playing time minutes that P.J. had last year.

Doesn't matter who we schedule non conference as far as attendance is concerned. And, it hasn't mattered for the better part of 20 years now.

We drew more for Nicholls at the reopening at the Dome than we did for Tennessee and Nevada when they were nationally ranked.

Bo Lamar, Roy Ebron, Wilbert Loftin, Peyton Townsend, Fred Saunders, what a team. I was a student then and the section immediately behind the opposition bench was all students, every game. We were always rabid and doing everything possible to make those poor players miserable and trying to get inside their heads. Probably politically-incorrect to do such a thing today.

Yup. Many would be banned for life today.

Speaking of which, the student that took the half court shot last night, when he was asked if there was anyone he wanted to give a shout out to (or whatever)...he dropped "build the wall".....lmao....they tried to walk it back but he didnt cooperate.

And they were definitely blind last night!

Couple that with the guy who ripped his shirt off during the flex cam...that's quality entertainment!

At what point do they need to open the 200 level sections (formerly 300's)?

I think the bottom bowl holds 6,000.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Believe no 200 sold until all 6K in bottom sold. I’d be pretty upset if I had to buy a ticket in the ends with center court available

It is kind of astounding to see how few students show up to games these days. And even more astounding to see how quiet they are. I suspect this is a generational thing and a sign of the times. With social media you don’t have to go places to meet up with friends and meet new people. And I suspect this is partly to blame for the lower attendance among non-students. That, and when you broadcast your games in HD for free on the internet, you can’t be surprised when people decide to make the easy and cheaper choice to stay home and watch it.

Moving students from behind the opposing bench was a death knell for support.

Football is next if they aren't moved back to the traditional Red Zone.
