Mike I disagree. I wouldn’t trade Barkley, Washington,Stroman, Marquetti for anyone playing on UTA in that season. Yeah Gant was ill, and the spark plug Stove was injured. I’m taking those four in that year. I’m not blaming the players for the melt down. Marlin did what he does, get outcoached.

I had to go out of state for a wedding during the weekend of the 2018 tournament so I did not see the UTA semifinal game. Therefore I cannot comment on the details. Perhaps the UTA staff did outcoach the Cajuns staff in that game. I certainly can't argue the point since I did not witness the contest.

Sir, please check the mirror. I believe that you have a few of Big Game Bob’s short and curly’s lodged between your teeth.

If you haven't listened to the podcast yet, give us a shot today at the tailgate. You won't be disappointed. Content you can't get anywhere else.

Mike is one of the most real fans we have around this program. When we debate back and forth, I hope people understand that this is what real supporters with differing opinions look like. I have the utmost respect for Mike and his unwavering support for our program. He's also a stand up individual.

Agreed

No argument with numbers as stats are facts. However there is no way that we had more talent than UTA in the 2018 semifinals when 2 of our top 6 players were out. That was virtually the same group of Mavs that won the league title in 2017 and had a couple of marginal pro prospects on their squad. They reached the NIT quarterfinals with that bunch. As a result of the health concerns, we had to count on guys who were fine as backups but were marginal starters in the semi finals. We just decided not to bring a couple of them back for this season. Time will tell if that was a good decision.

I still think that Jerekius Davis could have helped us this year. Outside of him, I'm fairly certain that the changes we made will be for the better as it would be hard not to.

It was only 4 of the top 6 in that UTA game as both Stove and Gant were non factors, and Bryce played the majority of it with both nostrils stuffed with gauze. Like you said UTA was very inconsistent that year but Hervey and Neal were 2 of the best players in the conference and they were the one team I hated to play in that situation. I’m not trying to make excuses just saying it was a crappy situation for a game that hinged the season for a team that was that good and it still makes me sick to think about. There is nothing that can be said for the Little Rock loss, they should have been able to win that with 3 of the top 6 on the bench.

I listened to the podcast (2nd time as I also listened to the App St preview) and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I have no problem with “the conversation” as I think it is a valid subject to discuss at this point in Marlin’s tenure. I just hope that isn’t the main point of every basketball conversation y’all have as the season starts and you can focus more on on court analysis and you can wait and revisit it as the season winds down. One thing I will point out is Mylik Wilson was regarded by many as the top recruiti in the state last year but he was not Louisiana’s Mr. Basketball, Jalen Cook was named it as a Junior.

Agreed and Jalen Cook is a beast. I wish we could have gotten him. I enjoyed watching him play last year.

Getting crappy with smack talkers on this board is one thing. Saying something like this to an analytical, never personal, level headed fan like this crosses the line like nothing I've seen on this board and I've seen a lot.

You owe this man an apology before you ever post here again.

[talktomewillis]

I have made a decision, after today, to avoid any thread talking about men's basketball. There are too many on this board with an agenda, and for a few, it's been going on for some time. This season, I predict there will be people who downplay every single win we get and will magnify any loss, regardless of who we lose to. As a result, everything here gets blown out of proportion. And I truly believe (and saying you disagree won't change my mind) that there are a handful who have become so jaded with their hatred of Marlin that they want to see the program fail just so they can get a new guy in and say I told you so.

I'm not going to leave angry as I did a couple of years ago. I'm simply not going to participate in basketball threads. Those of You (and it's certainly not all of you) that like to wallow in misery no matter what can go right ahead.

Now, if I may, a word or two about the podcast. I know all three of you. I believe you've done a relatively good job on the football podcasts. Personally I'd like for you guys to be less of a fan and more of an analyst, but it's your show.

I also know you well enough to know that you are much more versed in your knowledge of football than you are in basketball. If I can make a suggestion to you, it would be to DVR the telecasts and go back and watch them. Go back and watch the games, following what happens away from the ball. You'll find yourselves much more credible and knowledgeable if you do that. It's going to make for a better podcast, trust me on that. Knowledge is power, at least that's what I've heard. If you're going to have a good podcast, you'll need to work a little harder.

Best of luck to you guys as you move forward.
