BB SBCT G1 Final: Louisiana 6, App St. 2

How do you keep a team motivated that has been talked about publicly being pushed out? 90% of this roster knows for a fact they wont be here next year and most know from public perception that they aren’t wanted here. This is what we get when that happens. Lay it all on the line for people that ditched you 2 months ago? Hard to keep that fighting mentality through that

If you have pride you keep busting your arse to compete. If you have eligibility left, youre playing your arse off so that if you do get released someone else will want you. Give up and no coach will want you to transfer to their team.

I don't necessarily disagree, but as a competitor, how can you go out like that?

I get that point as well but these guys have worn it all year. I’m not suggesting they have all cashed in but it if everyone isn’t on board you get what you are seeing, flat.

I thought if there was any pride in that dugout, we'd come out excited and fierce. It's clear to me, the entire program is ready to go fishing. Dark days in the program's history under Tony Robichaux. Truly upsetting.

"Consistently inconsistent" is the term Robe uses. Not very good, is what I use.

I hear you, and to an extent, I was willing to accept that down the stretch of the regular season. I was just expecting a last hoorah out of this bunch. Still might happen, but they look largely disinterested..

It’s easier to say than do. These young men are human. They have been publicly ___ on by “their fans” the whole season.

Meanwhile, Perrin is looking better than he has in 2 months. I'm just happy to see some fight.

The players gave been publicly protected. I have a feeling the private discussions have been less sympathetic.

Yup. I ll be glad with every victory we get ni this tournament. But as I take my vermilion colored glasses off I give us a 15% chance of winning the damn thing.

I disagree, this team has been publicly criticized more than any team I can remember. Not saying they didn’t earn some of that but they have been.
