MBB SBC-T Final: Louisiana 68, UTA 71

[Ragin' Caleb]

What did you see that the coach could have done differently, besides expanding the rotation?

and even that is hindsight bias. This is march, you want your best guys out there

[ULvictory]

You guys either weren’t watching or are absolutely fu&$#ng crazy if you think the refs didn’t not impact or cost us to lose that game. We didn’t not play our best basketball, but we did enough to win that game. We should have been shooting 2 with a minute to go and a 1 point lead when the “charge” on Stroman was called

LOL

The refs didn’t cost us the game. Our poor shooting and lack of driving on the inside forcing them to get in fouls trouble did.

The refs made at least 2 bad calls that went our way, also.

The refs weren't the difference. We got them into the bonus with 11 minutes left and jacked up 3's instead of getting to the foul line.

Bingo

Yes, but how is this game different than any SBC game? The officials are always terrible, nightly at the Cajun Dome. Don't tell me you haven't seen this all season?

We didn't hit free throws, didn't rebound and we didn't defend well at times. None of those factors have anything to do with officiating.

I'm proud of this group and their effort today. They didn't quit and they never stopped

playing hard in the face of adversity. The result is another season we don't play in the NCAA tournament. Next up, the NIT.

Is it playing in B.R.?

I’m in agreement with you T. We were on the wrong end of more bad refereeing today... but it was our overall play that killed us. UTA was tournament hot and we are not. They aren’t a bad team either.

We uncharacteristically missed free throws... but we also looked a lot on offense like the team that lost that last conference game. I hate to knock Marlin after such a great regular season, but he did not coach well today. UTA was too quick for our stock offense. When we aren’t allowed to have our way, we don’t adjust well.

NIT? No. You must have seen the Bleacher Report “B/R” on the top of an NIT article.

Head cold and lung infection don't even add up. I find it hard to believe it was the latter. If he wasn't playing there is no doubt it was serious. I guess my point was that calling his diagnosis a head cold is unfair to him.

I’ve had some head colds that kicked my butt.

Fair. But that's what TV said our trainers told them.
