MBB Final G1: Louisiana 66, ULM 72

[zephyr]

Surely Maggard will fire little Bobby now?

Not a chance. Bob has another built in excuse= Covid. With how crazy this past year has been and college basketball is no different, its almost going to be a wash year no matter what happens. I can't see Maggard firing him when across the board, you may see the first year ever where UNC, Duke, Michigan State, Kentucky do not even make the NCAA tournament.

I began attending UL basketball games while in high school back in the early 1970's during the glory days of USL Basketball. After continuing my education at UL, and getting into the workforce, I soon began purchasing Football and Basketball season tickets. I have continued holding season tickets in those two sports since then and added baseball tickets to my portfolio in the late 90's. I bought my basketball season tickets once again this season, even knowing the rediculous COVID restrictions that would be put in place, in an attempt to continue supporting the program. However, last night was only the 3rd game I have attended in person this season. Not because I couldn't attend more games, but because attending UL basketball is no longer fun! As much as I want to support the basketball program, it is getting very hard for me to justify my continued support. I'm starting to think the money I spend on basketball could be better spent on the other sports that provide more entertainment for the money I spend. I could then just buy individual game tickets any basketball game I may decide to attend. I will have a decision to make when my renewal notice arrives next year!

It’s not just Bob. Almost every coach across the country in any sport has a free pass this year. Not an excuse supporting him, already stated he’s past his shelf life.

I can relate to your frustration. I let my tickets go after 20 years of being a season ticket holder. Too much potential for this program to have to endure this.

"We didn't overlook Arkansas State either. This West division is pretty good. This isn't football where the teams are not very good. These teams are good."

Wow!

[Turbine]

There are no valid excuses for this loss.

It doesn't matter how "due" a 10-straight loss team is or isn't.

When you let a 10-straight loss team jump out to a 19-5 lead, you did not have your team ready to play.

[ULvictory]

Insults football by calling the division weak. Bahahaha!!!

Get back to me when basketball finishes the season ranked in the Top 15.

This is something that makes it hard to be a fan. When the highest paid coach, with more backing than counterparts, can't put forth a team that's expected to own the division, something's off. I don't know if it's the coach, the culture, or state of NCAAB, but it's something. I can't give entertainment dollars from my family's budget to this, when my wife and kids don't enjoy watching. Plus, losing stinks.

How does someone with a voice of the school/program make this seem okay? I don't ask in jest, I really just want to understand - cause it's getting more difficult.

I am done with Coach Marlin. He doesn’t have to insult the football team’s accomplishment to explain his team’s loss to the worse team in the conference. He needs to take responsibility and get his team ready to win. We won games with him out. I know all I need to know that his days are numbered here. He’s overpaid and it’s time to bring winning basketball back to the dome!

[BBcajun]

It’s not just Bob. Almost every coach across the country in any sport has a free pass this year. Not an excuse supporting him, already stated he’s past his shelf life.

LOL...somebody should tell the South Carolina, Auburn, Texas & ULM football coaches about this free pass thing.

Drop basketball and add softball.

Never ever mention Marlin in a comparison with those teams. Bobby is as consistent as the seasons coming in middle of the pack in a low level mid major conference
