Best basketball job in the sun belt? Yup.. You guessed it.

Where they lose: “Expectations.” – Sun Belt assistant

Nope. You’re right on this. Just look at softball. Our conference is pretty weak, but we still stay in the top 25. The whole “the conference is dragging us down in basketball” is an excuse for the resources that we have.

But again, my standards are a 1-2 combo. The problem is that we have done one without the other, which is not good enough for the standards that we should have. Again, if we finish fourth with no postseason, that’s disappointing. But if we finish 2nd-3rd and lose in the tournament final without an NIT invite, I might be able to live with that. With that said, I’ve mentioned before that these coaches got a nice pay raise last year to where these standards are going to be looked upon from fans and admin alike with a microscope.

The problem is that he’s only done one every 4.5 years, and in the other years it’s pretty much middle of the pack. The SBC as currently composed is Ga State, and one other team every four years or so. And those take turns being awful. It’s our turn to be awful. In no way is your cupcake minimum ever been attained for more than one season. Well maybe that awfully weak 4th several times. But it was usually part of the regular and tournament season as well.

Table Room is nice. Drinks before the game.

Are the drinks priced the same as inside the Dome or are they priced similar to a NORMAL Bar? I refuse to go to the bank and make a loan simply to buy what should be a $3.00-$5.00 beer or $7.00 - $8.00 mixed drink!

Cajundome prices are ridiculous to begin with

You are absolutely correct. Last Thursday I got to the Cajundome for the game and thought about buying a bag of peanuts and a coke (something I rarely do due to ridiculous pricing). However, as I approached the concession stand and looked up at the menu, I was reminded that it would cost me $10.00+ just for that! I immediately remembered why I do not to eat or drink at the Dome, and simply walked away. I instead spent $12.00 on the way home for a BIG burger, fries and a drink!

Come on Duggie. You mean you don’t want to spend $15 on dried chicken fingers and a small coke? 😂

Yes they are the same price.

Same pricing as the rest of the dome. Just a nice place to sit and drink and talk UL sports.

I fully agree, I don’t think a few of these guys will ever be 100% recovered. But to state that we have a coach out actively recruiting know injury risks is absurd.

I think its more of a point of frustration than anything. The frustrating part is that we finally start getting some good guys out of high school and they seem to be hampered by injuries their career here. It's like we are cursed in some form or fashion.

No chance at having a healthy roster for a full season next year. Marlin has recruited a roster full of injury questions dating back to their high school careers. It will continue to be a problem for those that are injured.

Not completely true. Julien was hurt in February of 2018 and signed in February of 2017. Similar deal with Russell. He was an early signee and had no problems in HS. His foot problems occurred in summer before his freshman year. Wilson had no injury problems before his recent problems. Same for Javone Lowery.

No idea how they will come back. With today's surgeries, many come back stronger after they have knee surgeries. Saying there is zero chance for a healthy roster next season is being overly pessimistic. I won't go near saying there is zero chance we won't have problems as it is a possibility some will continue to have problems.

It’s hyperbole Mike, something unsaid on this board.

Or it's the practice schedule or workout routine...saw the same thing in Hudspeth last years
