Cajuns Sign a Point Guard

That was an amazing accomplishment and is where we need to start with that winning foundation. We should be winning the regular season more often. It shows measured success over a longer portion of the season. A "larger sample size" if you will and you are guaranteed a spot in the NIT if you fail in the conference tournament which is what happened to us.

The NCAA is definitely an end goal but if you don't make it doesn't make your season a failure. If you go 30-4, win the conference but falter in the conference tournament but you get to NIT final 4 is that a worse year than going say....19-18, finishing 5th in conference but getting on a roll in the conference tournament and getting beat by 25 to a #2 seed in the NCAA?

YES 19-18 and going to the NCAA is a better season than 40-1 and not going. The goal of any basketball program is to win the NCAA tourney, if you fail to make the tourney, your season is a bust.

Your current position always points back to that one season. One season in 10 years and this is the one thing you can point to to show us we are unreasonable fans. Outside of this ONE season, marlin is barely above 50% winning percentage in a bad conference with only 1-2 unwinnable games a year. That's without having us in a position where we can compete nationally where we shouldn't really have unwinnable games on our schedule to begin with.

Yes 911 I would like to report a murder

Because that one season was an anomaly. Sure, it was a fantastic year. And I would love to have more of them. But since then, we have made a complete roster overhaul due to average recruiting. And now, it looks like making any postseason appearance might be a long shot in the near future. If that ends up being the case, that would mean one NCAA and NIT appearance in 10 years. We can do better.

This staff needs to win more meaningful games moving forward.

It may not be a long shot for us to make a post season tournament soon.

This isn't hard.

Above average regular season.

Below average post season.

I continually refer back to Einstein and his premise that it is your personal theory that determines what you see.

CBI or CIT do not count as postseason

Except they do.

It's just that they are below the bar of this discussion.

I was not considering those in my comment. As we are paying to bring in two opponents in the regular season, I don’t believe money is in the budget to participate in buy in tournaments again this year. That could change if supporters underwrite the cost. ULM did make money with their participation last year but that is not relevant to us.

Not a chance.

This is a ludicrous statement. The fact that we did not go to the NCAA two years ago didn't make it a bad season.

The facts that Marlins teams have never beat a top 100 RPI P5 program and. that his teams here have a losing record vs top 200 RPI teams make him a below average coach.

Beating top-100 would definitely do it.

Not losing to sub-150 would make a coach above average as well.
