MBB Final: LA 83, ULM 76

[Tripple Threat]

Good game. They didn't rush the 3's, shot them in transition, Wesley and Stroman penetrated a lot and controlled the game. Gant was Gant, always bringing it. Miller hustled and played controlled. It looks like the coach has them under control. They fought in a close game and won it on free throws in the end. It was a good game.

I couldn’t make it tonight, but it looks like we won a close one.

Next: Texas trip next week

It really wasn’t close...Cajuns led by 8-10 points the entire game

disappointed in student turnout tonight

Ok fans behind vistor's bench rode Hunter all night. Tonight two fans behind ULM bench moved by security. So it's only ok for showtime on tv? 🤦

I wouldn't say the game wasn't close when ULM was able to get the game to within a basket late in the game and outscored the Cajuns 47-46 in the second half, but it's always fun to defeat the Chicken Hawks.

Warhawks never got within a basket in the last couple of minutes. A bad turnover allowed them a chance to get within a basket but they misfired. Couple of times the Cajuns got the lead to 13 but they were unable to separate more. Warhawks did make Cajuns work the entire game. Key to me was Stroman taking control with drives to basket in second half after Gant had to sit with foul trouble. Defensively we struggled with our rim protector out but were able to score enough to maintain some measure of control. After the game was tied at 9 about 6 minutes into the game, the Cajuns got a couple of baskets and never lost the lead again. Overall a good performance by the guys.

Mike, the game was as close as (5pts) at :28 of the game and again with :19 left in the game. Yes, I should have said had a chance to get the game to within a bucket. But to say the game was never close is a bit of an exaggeration when they outscored the Cajuns in the second half and were within (5pts) late in the game. Thanks

I agree the game was fairly close throughout. That point guard of theirs is a player that is more than solid and you can’t give him an open look from three or you usually pay. Had we gotten the lead to 15 we may have coasted. Warhawks responded every time we threatened to which did not surprise me. Also, Justin Miller deserves lots of credit for the way he is passing the ball out of the post. Offense is more effective since they made that a focal point.

Stroman driving to the basket and consistently hitting tough shots was big. ULM answered several times. If Marcus misses a bunch of those it’s a different ballgame.

If Marcus misses only a couple of them we may have been in trouble. Gant would have had to come back in earlier than desired and he could have fouled out. As far as the three point shot goes, Davis was big in the first half with three of them to give the Cajuns a lead while Hardy hit some crucial ones in the second half.

It may not be pretty at times and considering the slump they went through with the Carolinas and Georgia southern, you have to give the players credit for sticking together. Still have a long way to go but I wouldn’t be surprised to see us do some damage down the stretch.

Interested to see how they do on Texas trip. They should have regained confidence in these last two games but I thought the same thing after the Alabama home games and that level of play did not carry over to the road. They have to be more focused on Thursday to prevent nightmares of last trip.

The players haven't quit once this season. I will always give credit where its due in that regard. Biggest thing we've done better recently is guard people on the perimeter.
