MBB G11 Final: Louisiana 62 Tech 83

[Cajunsmike]

Since I started college 10 years ago I've gone to at least 10+ games a year .... This year I refuse to go to a game because of the OC home schedule and constant excuses by staff

Others should do the same if they are not happy with the product it's the only way to force a change.

I respect that decision. I hope you respect mine. No one was happy about the non conference schedule and there are others who have stopped going besides yourself because of it. However, season tickets actually went up this year despite that. Now the walk up tickets are probably down quite a bit because of the schedule. We will see if Dr. Maggard can improve things next season. McNeese and SLU will return to the Dome next season because of contracts. We will have a 10th conference game next year because of the new format and we hopefully get a decent mid major if the conference scheduling alliance goes through as planned. As far as this year goes, performances like last Saturday definitely does not help. Let's hope that is an anomaly which I think it somewhat was.

Marlin is a case study in our history. I’d love to know what wheels he’s greased to keep supporters going out of their way to defend his lack of results. It’s really an amazing thing to watch unfold year after year.

People "never forget how you make them feel" and regardless of the competition you feel better after a win.

27 of them.

Marlin wears a red blazer. I mean what else do y’all want?😂

He makes players better, that's all I see.

Problem is he doesn't do it in one single solitary year.

What he needs to do a better job of is staggering his classes.

Two or three producing seniors every year is a must for sustaining successes like last year's 27 wins.

They were a fun team to watch. It is unfortunate they pretty much failed every material test. The strange thing is that watching them play, time and time again, you went in believing that they had in place what it would have taken to succeed in each and every one of those tests. It was one little thing here and one little thing there and low and behold, 27 wins latter, they just did not put up a W in a game that moves the needle, again.

Big problem this year is not having a quality big to back up Gant. What needs to happen is for quality players like Jalen Johnson to come here after HS vs deciding they made a mistake two years after turning us down. Were he eligible in his junior year here, it would be a huge difference. As a result of not having that extra big, we will struggle every time Gant is out. He is suchk a key, that statement is true regardless of opponent. Coach said on his radio show tonight that he will be fine long term. He is a game time decision for tomorrow night.

Not even in the same stratosphere. Just another thing basketball sycophants do.

You're right, baseball falling short was more disappointing.

I was wondering how long it would take Murphy and * to get to you... About damn time!!

Mike, this has been a known issue since last season. It cost them a chance at the NCAA tournament. Yet, Marlin doesn’t even recruit one this summer. He did this to himself which makes it so frustrating. He’s clueless. Jalen Johnson won’t come close to solving the problem next year. He better go get a JUCO big, well really 2 at least, or we are in serious trouble going forward.

Jacob, imagine you own a restaurant and your food is exceedingly crappy. No one shows up. What happens? You go out of business, right? The same thing happens to an athletic program that no one wants to watch.

Oh, but congrats. That restaurant of yours is super clean.

Nailed it "goes out of business"

So called fans are playing program suicide by withdrawing game day support.

All good sir. You don't have to defend anyone's actions to me. To each his own. I don't show up at games and get upset because 1,500 people are there. I do have situational awareness, I know why there are only 1,500 people there. I just say well this crowd sucks, [b]let's watch some basketball/b].

A true fan of the sport.
