Ty Harper

Au cant even dribble the ball up the court without having his back turned to the defender when there is any pressure on him.

That's what I'm saying. Those quick guards ate his lunch all game. He was ineffective to say the least. He did hit one 3 pointer that I remember but it was a heave. Not sure he did much outside of that.

I would agree Au looked slower but the speed of their guards also played into making him look even worse. This is why I thought Harper should have played as he's one of our quickest and longest guards.

I still wonder if Harper had Covid on Saturday. I have not heard it confirmed one way or the other. If I had to guess, I would say he did due to sitting away from the team with a mask. He also played on Thursday night. When AU was having trouble, in a normal game Mike Thomas would have backed up Trajan Wesley. Like Awkuba, he was out with Covid on the Texas road trip. Either way, disappointing to hear the officials ruled they could not correct a scorer's table mistake when a Cajuns basket was taken away due to an off ball foul occurring at the same time. Conference office has since come out with a clarification that they should have over ruled the scorer's table and counted the basket. Don't know if it would have changed the outcome but it would have likely been a factor in how the game was played at crunch time. Regardless, if they keep turning the ball over nearly 20 times per game they will continue to be inconsistent.

Instead of whining about SBC refs our mediocre coach could have acknowledged his continued failure to put a well disciplined team on the court. This should never be about lousy zebras. That’s for fans not coaches. Regardless it’s not the last play of the game. How many times have I heard good coaches wave off zebras excuse.

Marlin has never accepted the blame for the loses except in a general sort of way about games. He might say players get credit for the wins and coaches for the loses.

When he's been healthy, he hasn't played any significant mins. We'll probably lose him.

If they keep turning it over 20 times a game, I’d say that’s pretty consistent

[SlickRick]

And 20 TOs a game = losing games.

Consistently bad.

They almost lost him over the summer.

Yes and I fear you are correct on losing him part.

Well, if the rumors are true about his pre-season workout issues and other assorted ones, I would have to support the coaching staff. If somebody doesn't want to follow the rules, the rules everyone else follows, he needs to shape up or ship out. Personally, I hope he shapes up!
