MBB Final: Louisiana 81, Troy 69

[CajunEXPRESS]

We played 7 guys. That's not a sign of much depth.

We’re missing Miller due to injury.

Honestly we’ve got 8 guys who,when healthy are all first stringers. Not only that but I’m never afraid of anyone taking a three except Washington who’d only take a three for shot clock issues.

That’s pretty damed deep.

It is not mandatory to make a purchase at the concession stand to watch basketball!

Nothing is mandatory, but concessions, especially for kids is part of the experience. To dismiss predatory pricing as a fan problem actually ignores opportunities to grow the fan and revenue stream for UL and the dome.

Miller could be back against ULM if he’s cleared this week

[CajunEXPRESS]

Most everyone here knows that. The point of my post is when Miller is in we've got 8 players who would be solid starters on every team in the SBC. That's a DEEP team.

I think I'd hold him out against ULM and give him an extra week to get right. Give Stalcup those minutes against ULM

[CajunEXPRESS]

Probably doesn't need the time, probably didn't need any time off. We're into the concussions era. In my day most of the time it was getting your bell rung. You'd be back in the next series. During the fall I'd get my bell rung at least once a year just playing rough and tumble.

I'm all for protecting the players from themselves, but basketball isn't football, or boxing. He's fine to go.

[CajunGrad16]

Oh okay, yeah you are right about that

Yeah that would be a good idea

And now all of us here at RP are having to put up with those consequences...Ha!

Mike, I have no frame of reference as I'm not going check every team's attendance this year but I've watched quite a bit college basketball this year, even the SEC, and they are doing quite well in that category. Even Alabama is packing fans in and creating a great atmosphere. They may not be at an ACC or Big 10 attendance level but I would not say that basketball is dead in the south.

This is one of the SEC's strongest years in awhile in basketball. Alabama is having a winning year in the SEC and Auburn is having a terrific year. Their product is better than in the past so it makes sense the attendance would be up. Mid majors in the south are struggling. I wonder what our attendance rank would be in CUSA. My guess is it would be well into the upper half of that league and I suspect we would do better than many AAC teams as well. When we talk about attendance, we should not gauge ourselves against the SBC, we should do so against CUSA.

ULM is also averaging 20+ more points at home than on road. I hope we're "senior" enough to not be looking ahead.

[Cajunsmike]

Yeah that would be a good idea

If Miller is cleared to go, I would play him at ULM without a second thought. WarHawks are playing much better than when we buried them and they will remember that. Saturday would be a terrible day for the winning streak to end. With a 2 PM game, hopefully we can get a few folks to make the trip.
