MBB G16 Final: Louisiana 76, Georgia State 89

Kobe was the only freshman we signed ready to be great. His injury was known, but Marlin had only role players and projects. So losing Marquetti, plus Kobe actually was a big hit. Now Cajuns Mike has documented that Russell had a preseason injury. No doubt he’s not hitting open threes like he did last year.

The projects, IMO was Gladney maybe viewed as a great redshirt freshman next year. Don’t know if we knew about his concussion issues. Clearly Lafayette seems a 3 year project if ever.

So losing Kobe last January was a big blow. It’s not one guy this year.

He’s gotta do a better job of getting freshman who can possibly be all conference at some point. And have significant freshman years

That shouldn't be hard to understand.

When last season ENDED UL had 41 years of experience on the roster.

When this season BEGAN there was 22 years of experience on the roster.

So, we should just set up that narrative before any games are even played like it was this year?

Yes, losing those three guys was a big blow. But we should have enough talent already to not have to use this line of thinking before the season even starts.

The worst part is the lazy defense. Multiple times gsu would dribble it up against a set defense make 1 pass to a guy for a wide open 3. Way too easy for d1 basketball.

One was why not to expect a repeat of 27 wins.

Next year part of the "recruit better" demands will have been met.

We are losing 3 P5 transfers with all the experience so we will regress from this year by that theory. So on to 2021 where will again have lost 3 seniors with a bunch of experience and will regress..when does it end?

[Cajunrunner]

Look, if we go 6-0 from March 12 to March 24, I’m willing to completely forget that we’re now paying Marlin over half a million dollars per year.

At least I’ll forget it for the next season...then we’ll revisit.

I never expected to win 27 games. But I do expect to compete for the postseason every year which we probably won’t make this season.

We should have the roster for that when we have a coach on year NINE.

I already agreed with you Miller doesn’t have the motion he did last year. 9-37...that’s where the game was lost.

None of this was said about Marquetti until after he got hurt. Actually when Gant got hurt before Marquetti the same excuses started...even after Gant got hurt, nobody said, including you "don't worry we have Marquetti, he is the one guy we can't afford to lose" you tend to insenuate that you are the only one who watches the team. Just because people aren't satusfied doesn't mean they don't watch or support the team. Marquetti is good but he is not a 1 man wrecking crew like he is being made out to be. If he was that important it would have been said by someone..anyone at least once before he got hurt.

Once again the problem is the drop off in ability for the players now taking the minutes of Marquetti.

Mike i played my whole life, i understand it. Im well aware of the problem. We never seem to have answers to any problem that arises,If things don't go perfect for this program they can't accomplish their goals. That is the problem.
