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

[Turbine]

We are not on the ____ing team, Turbine.

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

What are your expectations?

When they were expected to get a full nights sleep many were hoping for a 50/50 split.

We are the better team. I expect us to win. Hoping for a 50/50 split when you think you have the better team is dumb. We have the best team in the league. I expect us to win every league game. Will I be shocked if we don't, of course not. But I will not lower expectations because of past failures.

Now it’s past their bed time? Haha...wtf? Oh no these poor college kids stayed up past midnight...how will they ever play basketball the next night.

Turbine wasn't out of line with his comment. Are you over reacting?

Didn’t say it was out of line, it’s ridiculous not not out of line.I can tell you where some of our best teams and most exciting players in basketball were on Friday nights before games at 3am and it wasn’t at home getting rest. Either some of you had really lame college years or you forgot what you could put your body and mind through at 18-22 years old. They probably get more rest on the road

The prediction of some about a 50/50 split had nothing to do with "better team" and nothing to do with lowering expectations. Everyone who has ever followed sports knows that road swings cause losses. Home field advantage was not a term invented to lower expectations. It exists because of years and years of studying win/loss records.

67% advantage due to home court is the largest in sports.

I agree with Crazy. At 18 to 21 years old, road trips are fun. They are at an age where it is still exciting to be out and about with their buddies and staying in a hotel that someone else is paying for, and getting team meals that someone else is paying for. To me, getting in at midnight is a non-issue in this case.

I promise coaches are much more worried about what their players are doing and proper rest when they are at home than when they are on the road in a controlled environment..or they should be.

So, will you feel better when the Cajuns "upset" the Mavericks?!
I am not buying it. This team is more than capable of winning this game 'on the road.'
Doesn't mean it will be easy. Doesn't mean there won't be hurdles to overcome.
From what I have seen from this team this year I expect they will win tonight, on the road.
Good teams win on the road. I think the Cajuns are a good team.

A UL win will not be an upset, but you still want to stack as many things in your favor as you can.
