Anything over 3 hours is a long ride, IMO.

What? That’s not even a tank of gas. Guessing you don’t travel much.They are on a bus..they can get up and walk, they can stop to eat. Arlington is not a long bus ride. If they can’t handle a 6-7 hour bus ride then they are mentally soft, spoiled and entitled.

And Arlington isn’t a long bus ride. Colorado is a long bus ride.

I agree.
It's a road trip. No travel excuses need to be proffered. It is part of the deal...playing college basketball. They just need to keep on keeping on. I think they are focused enough to handle whatever distractions might come their way.

Studies have unequivocally shown that any change in itinerary induces stress.

Stress has been proven to cause fractures.

Fractures require a break in the action.

Marlin only has so many timeouts.

Any bus ride when you were expecting to fly is a long bus ride.

I'm much happier it being on ESPN3 than having Len Rollins ULL is to death on Cox.

Lynn Louisiana-d us in the Cox broadcast of the women vs. ULM. I about had a heart attack.

No wonder it snowed. Guess he didn't confess his sin to St. Michael of Red Stick.

Has Saturday's game been confirmed for ESPN3. I thought it was just tonight's game.

Saturdays game is not listed on the WatchESPN app at this time.

The team made it to Arlington around midnight so if they can play well and pull out a win that’s an accomplishment

So 19 hours in between arrival and game time? These young men should be alright. They have the right mindset and mentality plus good leadership. Our boys will be ready to play.

Yeah I agree, I think if we win these two games we can go undefeated the rest of conference play

High school kids bus all over the state...if they can do it...so can the pampered college adults...

[Ragin4U]

I know that 7 hour bus rides have zero effect on me. As a matter of fact, just drive the long way to work because it refreshes me. /s
To say travel has no effect on players (or anyone) is ludicrous. How much is a matter of debate.

For mentally soft, spoiled entitled people, i agree. Way more people get stressed out by flying than being in a vehicle on a road.
