3.1 seconds is enough for a decent play. Our guards weren’t getting open easily.

And if open, missed

And if open, missed

About 79% of the time!
Difficult to win when your guards shoot 21% and yet lost by only 2 in OT.

The game was lost on free throws, or lack of free throws. I’m not going to second guess the fairness of the calls for the most part, Bobby didn’t toss his coat so probably fair. Last night we were able to overcome because we out rebounded them. Tonight even.

There are a few reasons, but UALR attempting 18 more FTs than the Cajuns seems to be less than ideal.

Ok, who at the beginning of this week thought we’d have a chance to sweep LR?

Yeah, not happy we split the way we did. After last night’s light incident, I fully expected LR to crush us tonight. They didn’t. But they did a better job on Wilson and Russell tonight. Hence, we lost.

We have more talent than all of these teams in the West division. It comes down to coaching and execution and we struggle in that area. Until Marlin hands the reigns to Harper at PG we will struggle mightily down the stretch in close games. Marlin loves to slow games down with about 5 min to go and we cant get into any good action with Russel or Au starting it. They cant get in the lane. We can't finish teams right now. We should be 4-0 in conference. Sweeping home series is the difference at the end of the year. He failed to do that.

Blame me for the loss yesterday. Following the Friday night win, I commented that we had done well in down to the wire games, winning four of them. Of course karma kicks us in the butt for me being silly enough to make that comment early in the conference season.

Chemistry or not we need more talent on the floor. Kobe, and two more might have made up some issues from last night’s loss and TxSt. Unfortunately Bobby Big Fish always needs significantly more talent than his better counterpart. Maybe we can swap LilRock or MoanRow coaches for Marlin.

It was actually great watching LR run their offensive sets and get shots 10-15 feet from the basket ALL night. They didn't need to go crazy on 3 pointers because they were so efficient. Wish I saw us do more of that.

Russell 5 turnovers and 1 assist.

Please get the ball out of his hands. I'm not sure what the reasoning is to have Russell on the ball all the time but he's just not very good there.
