MBB G2 Final: Louisiana 65, Tennessee 87

[ZoomZoom]

Southern Illinois is only down 2 at half vs the #2 team

Correction beating the #2 early 2nd half

Kentucky = Grossly overrated to date. Duke throttled them by 30+

IKR. Just would be nice to compete. Basketball is not like Football where you need a whole village. It’s just disappointing to get ___ whopping after ___ whopping by these so called P5 teams.

Guess I’m getting old.
The dome was rocking back in the late 90s early 2000s.

We lost to P5 teams back then too. I think people are overestimating how good Evan’s teams were. There were lots of meh years. And the years where we were exceptional our RPI was in the 60’s-80’s which is right where we finished last year.

I too miss the days where the dome was packed and loud. It’s not Marlin’s fault that the fans don’t show up and get loud like they used to. That’s on us.

We do not have big boy basketball. Big boy basketball was in the 1970s and some in the 1980s. Did not keep the tradition going

22 I'll take it

Got to shoot better than 39% and play better defense. UT is a top 10 team, but we’re striving for more than the NIT. We’ve got to compete.

Kentucky would still skull drag us

But year 9 and a 22 point loss against good teams is a win for some ..yay for mediocrity

It’s the annual discussion, no biggie. One camp thinks the coach is horrible, the schedule is either too soft or we should be competing with #1 Kansas and #6 Tennessee (Alabama and Oklahoma for football equlivants). Another camp longs for the days of Marty and Jessie with an occasional marquee win. Then there’s the camp that remembers Blackham and beating #1 Georgetown, Kansas, Michigan State, etc and those days are not coming back because the deck is stacked thanks to ESPN and the P5 plan. And some simply like basketball. Cut and paste for next year.
