MBB GameON: Louisiana vs. Little Rock

[zephyr]

Man, Im just hoping we don't have a game like this in the tourney.

Was thinking the same thing.

Was thinking the same thing.

Not gonna worry about this one too much. It sucks we ended a good season on such a sour note but it still won’t stop us from achieving our main goal. We got punched in the mouth tonight. Let’s see how our boys respond. See y’all in Nola cutting down the nets

I'm not worried too much myself but more doubt has crept in. If we can lay an egg against this team we can certainly do it against some of the better teams in our league. The senior night curse seems to be a thing. I saw several teams this weekend do the same thing. It seems the focus is diminished on such an emotional night. Hope that's all it was.

6 man rotation for the majority of the game. Where was jerekius?

Was thinking the same thing... Coulda used him...

Disappointing to say the least. But, gotta flush it and move on. Better to get some humble pie here than next week.

As far as the crowd... I would think the big time recruit hopefully came away impressed with the passion of the Cajun fans who DID get into the game and get behind the team - trying to be that crucial 6th man. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. Maybe that tells Jordan he can come in and help right away.

Also would like to see Cedric Russell shoot more frequently... He's so great when he gets on...

If a 26-5 regular season isn’t good enough to keep a fan coming back we’ll never be good enough to win that fan over.

This season wasn't about fighting to keep the loyal fan. It was about gaining a whole new wave of basketball fans. Last night didn't help to say the least. I don't quite understand what made you pull the anti fan trigger so fast. People pointing out that the team ____ the bed last night is legit. Do you understand that in this conference you can go undefeated in conference and still have tenuous at best respect? But you are disrespected when you lose to a cellar dweller... at home... just before the tournament... in front of your largest home crowd. That's all anyone was pointing out.

Last night squandered an opportunity to win over some new basketball fans. To say, "F them"... is beyond the dumbest thing our athletic program needs.

I hope so too. They played tough defensively. I just didn't understand how we got out of the smart and "no showboat" offense. We drove the lane ugly and out of control. And we tried too many no look or low quality passes in an effort to show off. It was almost like Marlin told them to just to have fun and shoot at will. If so... you would think that wouldn't happen in the tournament.

No one is going to disrespect this team other than Lafayette fans, true Cajun fan were already going to the games. I don't think anyone who watched this magical season will jump ship. Who cares that we lost one game next week has always been win or go to the NIT no questions ask. I'm so sick of the casual bandwagon fan. If you are a fan be a fan. I understand the disappointment because I am too but to jump ship or say I wont support these young men because we lost is just crazy. Three wins next week and no one remembers last night.

For some weird reason, losing the highest attendance game of the year seems to be a pseudo tradition.

Every University has casual "sidewalk" alums or as you put it, bandwagon fans. They are needed. Last night our guys walked out to the middle of the court and crapped out a real stinker on the floor. There's no getting around that. They and their Coaches deserved to lose the game. Now they have a chance to clean up their mess next weekend. This week at practice they need to be reminded of what level of effort got them to where they are now....
