I guess Marlin will have to go the small ball route.

“Don’t read anything into why (freshman forward) David (McCormack) didn’t play,” Self said after the victory. “If Dok’s not in foul trouble and they’re going to play with that (small) lineup, it’s hard for other (big) guys to play.”

No, actually we will just need to go with our exact lineup or maybe add a big to still try to matchup to their size. Outside of Gant, our frontline averages about 6'6" with Miller and Davis. Kansas' small ball lineup is our jumbo lineup. lol

Has Marlin ever faced a Bill Self coached team?
Did he ever coach against Rick Barnes when they both were in Texas?

My prediction.. KU 88- Ul 52 Our lack of inside presence haunts us.

I don’t think Coach Marlin has ever coached against a Bill Self team. Not sure if he coached against Barnes when he was at Sam Houston and Barnes was at Texas. I presume they did play in guarantee games in Austin. It was stated last week the two coaches are good friends. It also stated they attended each other’s practices when they both worked in Texas.

36 point loss isn't being at all competitive. I'm more inclined to be a game like Tennessee with some big runs by the Jayhawks. Cajuns hold final score to 20 or less.

Hope I'm wrong all day long. But we will be forced into living and dying by the three and Marlin knows we dont have the big men inside , hence shoot every 3 we get. Like I said, hope I'm wrong .
