7:20/2nd Half
These refs are the worst I have ever seen in the dome
Rough has day to be a Cajun fan.
We love to dribble. TOs, missed front end of two 1&1s and two really bad 3 point attempts ruin what was a pretty nice game. Coach was just silly tonight. Must have wanted a day off. Not a good example to kiddos in attendance. But what the hey. Thank God for tennis.
The ref and Marlin were jawing back and forth which the ref should have simply teed Bob, but it became a urinating match. That's the reason he eventually got ran. I'm not one to blame a loss on the refs and won't start now. But that was one horrific display of officiating.
Giving up 6 early points in backcourt turnovers, failure to manage consistently breaking a soft 3/4 press (which wore out legs) and having the team that leads the league in 3's wide open is why we loss. The officials were just trimming on a bad night.
Found it interesting Marlin did not do the post game. Being ran should not had been an issue.
I agree with VObserver in this instance. When you are short handed every point counts. As frustrated as the situation was, you have to maintain your composure. Pressure may have finally gotten to Coach Marlin and he simply blew. As far as how many he gets, those were the first two this season. Still, Cajuns lost this game because of turnover trouble throughout game and missed free throws in the second half. Legs appeared tired in last 5 minutes which may have contributed to the free throw issues. The Eagles thrive on forcing turnovers from their trap and the Cajuns simply were not focused enough to overcome them. They have to get contributions from more than 6 players to have any sustained success. Otherwise they will wear out on every Saturday game following a Thursday game. Hopefully, Wesley can play next week and aid that situation.
I was not surprised Coach Hardin did the post game. He was the guy who had the scout assignment on the game and therefore was the main guy for 90 percent of the game. Not sure what happens normally when a guy gets tossed. However, in this instance since the removal came so early Coach Marlin had little influence on most of the game.
