Obviously a typo

Believe me, I'm not arguing that point. These punk asses have our (Marlin's) number.

Their point guard reminded me of the Muhammad Ali shuffle, which was clearly taunting and laughing at us. How many times did they blow by us to the basket and virtually all 3 point shots were uncontested and when we did contest it was a 3 shot foul? We played like we had lead in our shoes. No excuse for that kind of performance from a 20-3 team. Just when we are starting to get national recognition and our fan base is getting excited about the possibilities, we lay an egg. We will probably see GA State in the finals of the conference tournament. Marlin had better come up with a better defensive scheme than last night or it will be blow-out city again. Maybe all the winning got to their heads. If so, last night should have grounded them. That said, Geaux Cajuns!

He has to run the table and win the regular season title And get to the Conference Tourney Championship game to get an NIT bid..... otherwise, with his record against top 150 RPI teams it's buy in tourney time again.... f*** that..... that's a fact guys.... this team is capable of that talent wise and I hope he does it because I don't give a crap who the Coach is, just get it done...

but we arent in the preseason anymore. if we start out 20-0 and then lose 4 straight, we are supposed to be all excited bc we are 20-4, or worried because we lost 4 in a row.

Expectations definitely change, but thinking and acting like you lost 4-in-a-row is often a self fulfilling prophecy.

More often than not, freaking out (overreacting) when a long win streak ends causes losing streaks.

I might be wrong but I think just running the table in the regular season get an automatic NIT bid.

Yep, because you would be the regular season champion which guarantees you an NIT berth.

There are no automatic bids to the NIT as far as I know

To get the NIT bid, Cajuns just have to match GA State the rest of the way in number of losses. Assuming no other team has a realistic chance to catch the top 2. Cajuns do have one "extra game" to be played as GA State has played one more than the Cajuns.

#1 seed (regular season champ) gets an auto bid to the NIT if that team doesn't win the conference tournament.
