MBB Final: Louisiana 77, UTA 65

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.

How do you know half the team isn’t scared to fly?

Would that make them "mentally soft, spoiled and entitled"? Or just bad at understanding statistics?

[Ragin4U]

And sitting for 7 hours is probably more of a physical thing than mental.

Would people quit talking about the travel? These guys are in college, they sleep on couches and eat Taco Bell they aren’t 60 years old. They were on a bus not a crawfish skiff. In fact being 6’6 I’d imagine being on a bus is more comfortable than a plane. I drive to Arlington all the time, it’s not that bad and you know they can pull over and stop right? If they lay an egg it’s bebause they laid an egg..not because of a damn 7 hour bus ride.

LOL seriously....it's not like they are taking covered wagons or walking. Jeez.

If they lost and blamed it on how they got to the game, yes..yes it would.

You have a way of escalating simple observations.

My turn: Bus fumes kill basketball adrenaline.

Well as long as bob doesn’t let the team take pulls of the exhaust pipe we should be ok. And you have a way of making excuses before we even lose. If we lose it’s not bevauae we had to take a chartered bus to Arlington Texas. Actually flying has way more side effects on the body that would hinder an athletes performance than riding on a bus. Dehydration, blood pooling and fatigue from low oxygen...but hey we already lost because it’s impossible to win on the road anyway right? We can’t win because of the stress of travel plans changing? Because 18-22 year olds are so set In their schedule structure.

Look if I can take a 12 hour bus ride from port aransas to Lafayette on no sleep and go straight to the gym to work out my chicken legs (which I hate to do) then these young men can go play a game they love for two hours. Geez man it’s not that big of a deal. We will be alright

I don't think anyone is saying, if we lose its because of the bus ride but to refute that travel has some impact is ridiculous.

Travel to the west coast or Cayman Islands across time zones maybe, Arlington Texas no. They sit around at home doing nothing for 6 hours on game day. This is not some brutal travel trip. 2 interstates 1 turn and it’s not like they did it on game day. In this case the travel has no impact and would only be an excuse if they don’t play well.

So you are going with "ridiculous". Cool

[Tripple Threat]

Change of tone... How many points is their top scorer going to score against our defense?
