MBB Game Thread: LA 77, ASU 74

[CawCajuns]

UL makes a 3pt and Marlin calls TO. I'll NEVER understand that.

Ark St.... 54
Louisiana 61
5:00 2nd Half

Cause you have a media timeout coming under 4:00. He has a 7 pt lead and wants to give his guys a blow and set up defense to get a couple big stops. Another rest for the guys coming under 4 and can hopefully finish the game without having to give anybody a rest down the stretch.

Not saying it will work, but thats the logic

Nailed it, that is the logic. It is a judgement call between momentum and rest/defensive alignment. Looks smart when it works and dumb when it doesn't.

I would hope it is an in game decision based upon a coaches reading of how the game is going. I don't think it should be a 100% always yes or always no type of thing.

Suspended for rest of season. No word why.

Lafayette had his best game as a Cajun. Second half he forced two key turnovers down low against ASU bigs. Dude actually showed emotions tonight on court.
