Saturday Final: Louisiana 76, Little Rock 78

[Turbine]

Becuase we don’t run any offensive sets. It’s all one on one. And elite playcalling by Marlin on the last play.

He said the first option was to go to Russell or Wilson.

I guess he doesn't subscribe to staying away from cold shooters.

How much time was left?...
The only “good” play call was anything that resulted in a bucket...

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.
