Lack of Marlin to get ONE guy on the court to be the Alpha male the others look to. That's what I have noticed the last few years. Jay Wright was the last guy others knew was the Alpha. Don't have to be the best to be Alpha, just be a solid leader. As Jay got dinged up down the stretch in '18, things fell apart. And now here we are, 2021, and Marlin throws another UL team under his bus.
Today was the freshman Harper. He exploded with 3’s. He’s always doing other stuff well. Sometimes he gets fouls for aggressive defense.
Arkansas State about to get a lock on 2nd place. Leading LilRock by 4 2:07 to go
Every team goes to the conference tourney in Pensacola. 1st and 2nd place teams in each division get a first round bye. Right now, Texas State is first while the Cajuns and Ark State are tied for second. Red Wolves have the tie breaker now due to percentage points. We need to win out and have Ark. State lose one to garner 2nd. Overall the team is 14 and 7 with a conference record of 8 and 6. Four regular season conference games remain. Starting point guard Brayan Au hurt his knee at Ark. State last Friday and today was first game we win since he has been out. Loss to ULM on Thursday was terribly disappointing as they do not have a good record. Nice bounce back today. Brayan is not a great player by any means but one who gets Cajuns in right sets. Doubt he returns this year. Past two games back up guard Devin Butts was suspended and did not play. No idea why he was suspended. I suspect he returns next game. Hopefully he does not take minutes from Ty Harper who played great today. I think that answers most of your questions have been answered here Boomer.
