MBB G18 Final: Louisiana 95, ULM 99

[Cajunfanatico]

I've accepted our decision to not move the program forward it makes things a lot easier and hilarious to see us down 20 at half to another belt school.

Acceptance is the right strategery because one no longer struggles with the mental conflict of believing we wish to be the best while obvioulsy consistently putting out a product that is not the best and trying to figure out why that is.

You can extrapolate anything through stats. We essentially shot our average as a team. The problem was that UL-Monroe shot 80% themselves, outrebounded us and hit more 3's. The good news was that we did keep the turnovers down from previous games.

Bottom line, you can’t expect to win a college game if they score 99. The Hoax could also not expect a win allowing 95. Two bad teams out there today.

The Cajuns did lose the game at the line. 73% is generally OK but when you are in a tight game on the road you need to be above 80%. Coincidentally ULM was at 84%. Davis did struggle there but he was not the only one who had a problem there. Stroman is usually money but he was at 62 percent today. Although they missed only one each, the ones that Gant and Miller did not convert in the second half proved crucial. In the next game they have to do a better job of controlling Ertel. He had a huge game today. You would need someone that is "long" to give him trouble as he gets his shot off quickly. Not sure we have anyone on the roster this season with those attributes.

___k it put Gladney on him

So do I understand this correctly, we come out second in a competition of two bad teams today?

Hey, second can't be too bad.

[CajunEXPRESS]

I don’t think either teams going to finish in the top four. That’s top four of the SBC not SEC. So no I’m not going to say we or the Hoax are good teams.

The EURO WALK Refs beat the Cajuns tonight.

The Big Fish coached them up to 95 points good tonight. Unfortunately that was only good enough for second place.

I have to believe Maggard will let the Big Fish go after this season. Losing to ULM in any sport is unacceptable.

You can't help what you like and don't like. Some people simply don't care for the diamond sports because of the slower pace. The intricacies of baseball are interesting to many but not all.

That's what I keep telling my wife. She says it to slow and no action. I tell her if she knew what goes behind the scenes she would enjoy it. Like I told her they keep ever stat there is in baseball. I checked it out once and they even keep track of your bathroom breaks. Whether it was #2 or #1..

French, I think you confusing the Cajuns with LaTech with the bathroom thing. At Tech, the scorekeeper can see them when they relieve themselves for real time scoring.

My main concern, complaint, etc, is the long term tenure of Marlin vs results.. Like pouring money into a termite ridden home.

I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I no longer listen to our basketball games and that's probably exceeding whatever my high blood pressure meds are accomplishing.

Ah, welcome to the club of bad coronary gene pool. Walk away totally for a few years and come back. Then watch the game with a different perspective, one on your terms. It's a totally different game.

I read these threads where passion is a blind horse and know that was me years ago. Even that is unhealthy.

I've only been upset with Cajuns athletics once in the past several years...Hud's multiple lack of instutional control issues. From the ACT fiasco to letting the team "drive the bus" to that utterly embarrassing last Hud game. That game fell on the players too; they quit that day.
