MBB SBC-T Final: Louisiana 68, UTA 71

[UL_Cajuns]

Hawk, take a look a the poorly misjudged shots we took all game. Take a look at the lack of drives we tried to make on the inside. Again, the refs were awful. But I will not sit here and blame the refs for our awful coaching and decision making. That’s on us.

Bobby Marlin will never win over the fan base w/ crap like this. It’s just a shame how one game decides the fate of this team, but I still believe we were doomed after that Little Rock loss at home. Great coaches don’t let their team lose to crap teams like that.

Who won the NIT last year again?

Some team that wasn’t good enough to make the real tournament? Am I close?

[Big Buds]

Who won the NIT last year again?

This one hurts badly but to be fair I vm can't remember who won the NCAA last year without looking it up.

No one gives a ____ about the NIT. Very disappointing. Conferences like the Sun Belt are so stupid to give the auto bid to the tournament winner. Sun Belt should just not have a tournament and let their best represent them. It worked out for us with Payton and Long, but not today.

Or they could have refs who don’t actively go after the top seed out of spite.

[CajunT]

Did you complain that much to TJoe about Marlin while sitting next to him?...

Do you cut Marlin's grass?

[Big Buds]

I was really looking forward to pushing our Louisiana brand on the national stage...I'm not sure the reality of this lose has even settled in. What the ____?!

[CajunJeaux]

Do you cut Marlin's grass?

Yep...mulch most days..but bagged recently to pick up the leaves...

[zephyr]

If we are criticizing shot selection, Bartley took alot of awful 3s

You live with Bartley shooting those. He's a 40%+ 3pt shooter and your best overall offensive player. He barely touched the ball down the stretch because of Miller. If Marlin didn't have specific instructions to move the ball and make sure it hit Frank's hands at least once, that's on him as well.

How does that benefit the conference?

[CajunT]

Yep...mulch most days..but bagged recently to pick up the leaves...

LOL!!!Okay!

[CajunJeaux]

LOL!!!Okay!

Still trying to convince him to go with grade-A Cedar mulch this spring...instead of the fonky red mulch...but he surely loves his university...

[ULGrad@HOU]

I agree with you. I understand that, but you aren't supposed to dominate a conference to the extent we did this season and lose in the damn conference tourney especially after supposedly getting a wake up call against UALR.

No excuses

True.
