Too soon to tell if the Cajuns are Marlin's best team to date

The attaboys. The shoulder slaps. The words of adulation.

Off to their best start in 45 years, UL basketball coach Bob Marlin wants his Ragin' Cajuns -15-3, with five straight wins- to avoid them, tune them all out.

“They’re important to me, and I like ’em a lot, and I think they’re playing really good basketball right now,” Marlin said. “So, I hope that continues — and we’ll re-evaluate this question at the end of the year.”


As the saying goes, "We haven't won anything, yet."
But, I sure like the way they are going about it!

That defense is what gives us a shot. I hope that keeps us in it this weekend. Really tough stretch with the travel. I'll be stoked if they somehow come out of it with 2 wins.

Yes, tough road trip for sure made more so by the travel issues affected by the weather. This stretch will tell us a lot more about the team.

I refuse to downplay expectations. This is a special team and I expect them to take care of business on this road trip.

The Mavs are 1pt favorites tonight. I don’t think people are downplaying expectations by thinking it will be tough to win tonight.

More teams lose by thinking a game will be a cakewalk, than lose by acknowledging hurdles.

Just saw the team didnt arrive until midnight last night. Kind of seems like a disadvantage.

We are not on the ____ing team, Turbine.
