MBB NIT Final: LOUISIANA 76, LSU 84

[Turbine]

Funniest part of this whole thing is that we played poorly and were down 1 point with a minute and a half in the game. I hope LSU is happy and we will hear it from them but Gant and Marquetti were nowhere to be found and they were two of our most important guys this year. That's with a career night from their big.

. . . . I'm letting that soak in.

And we let one player dominate us.. cardinal sin of coaching..

You right, a guy that averaged 12.7 points per game, 4 at the level he played last night and 13 way below double figures 4, 5, 6, 4, 9, 5, 8, 5, 4, 3, 1, 9, 4.

Only good thing about tonight this game won't count when they hit wade with recruting violations and forfet this past seasons wins

You'll be waiting as long for that to happen as Marlin will be to play LSU in the regular season.

[TigerRagAndrew]

As soon as LSU was gifted home court (3 points) it was predictable that there would be zero trips to the free throw line in the first half, and 11 fewer attempts in the game (8 points)

"Deserved" is not a word you should be associated with uttering right now.

Talk crap, get dealt with. That's what he deserved, and exactly what he got.

With such class, too... Typical.

That is totally irrelevant to what he did to the CAJUNS last night.. it was clear to everyone in the D(ump)MAC that Reath was dominating.. You make a change, make an adjustment or do something differently. Stop rationalizing.

I am not rationalizing. I said you were right - we let one player who was pretty much non-dominating throughout the year dominate us. We didn't make the change, as probably did 3 other teams this year and he dominated the game and he dominated us.

I could never play LSU in another sport and be fine with it. The whole school is a huge embarrassment to the state. The way their fans act is less than childish, and one of the main reasons EVERYONE in the SEC hates them. I have no desire to associate with trash like that, and really any win over them in any sport is not worth being tied to them in any way. They are the honey boo boo, corndog smelling, walmart fan having, corrupt cess pool of the state. Every time I see some jacked up truck with 10 LSU stickers and a borderline retard driving I want to throw up and move far away.

I don't know if anyone mention it, but the attendance at the pmac was little over 6900 I think. If that was the attendance, it would have been 8000+ at the Cajun dome........

I was screaming for 2-3 about 5 mins into the game. Bryce played above his size for Sun-Belt al year. But when someone cant jump over your back, reach in front of you with of you with both hands to grab a rebound....and never actually touch you, you're just outsized. I saw it against Georgia last year, I saw it against Clemson this year, and I saw it against that behemoth last night.

I agree that we won't see last night's game occur again for a long time. As far as recruiting violations go, who knows what will happen. Almost any school can get hit with them if the NCAA looks hard enough.

[CajunNation]

Having a big like Jordan Brown is what's needed, 6'6 guys no match for tougher bigs in the 6'10 range

Nearly all of the best Cajun squads of the past had main scoring threats from the point.

College basketball is guard oriented.

In recruiting, guards are EVERYWHERE.

FWIW.
