MBB Final: Louisiana 64, GSU 68

And plenty of free tickets for Saturday’s games.

I agree the crowd was sparse, but the number probably isn’t far off. End zone with the band had a decent number there. GAST brought 4 people (which explains nobody behind their bench). The money rows filled in well after the photo posted. However, go to WBB, where you can count those actual people and use that as your realistic measuring stick for MBB. Done that many times, learned you can get to ~500 if you count the players, officials, media, vendors, bus driver, security, custodians, occasional rodent…pretty much everything breathing. So then use the women’s crowd and compare, you’ll find they’re not too far off.

I want a change. However, I’m pretty confident flightware will involve the next coach. Remember, Morris helped recruit this team. We have great ATHLETES on this team.

Someone posted the other day we need to run. Absolutely with these guys, hides the lack of a point guard.

Players are gonna be leaving regardless. They don’t want to play for Bob anymore. Next year will once again see tons of new faces with very few familiar.

This isn't a new theme. The roster turnover yearly is extremely high.

Get ready for it to be higher than normal

I used to go to most of the Thursday night games. I quit when LA Tech hammered us like a biddy basketball team at home. I really don't have interest in a basketball team without any point guards of quality. How can a coach not recruit a point guard?

Players going to leave as they have in the past. Egos. For every Cedric and Wilson that goes to a power conference and becomes a role player, how many left and didn’t find the greener grass? NIL in play now, I’d guess 2500 into the MBB portal this year. Many crushed ego and dreams.

Look at Brown…3 years, 3 programs. Do I hope he stays, heck yeah. Do I expect someone to drop cash on him from a P5? Probably. Money trumps coach. Look at Dez…if money wasn’t in play, we don’t lose all those guys.

Just fire up the flightware come April, don’t see this being survivable unless March Magic happens. Which would be a hoot…the meltdown would be epic.

Jesus christ thats the new standard of hiring coaches not having players transferring out. That's such a short sighted strategy.

[anhil8tor]

I don't even feel motivated to go any more, it's more like a chore.
Make a change, Dr. Maggard.

Same. I go to support players but they like like they don't care either. I'll just save my money on over priced beer and spend it at softball and baseball in a couple of weeks.

I can only hope we have a new coach next season.

[Hudsheen#Fired]

Marlin can you pull the trigger already? I'm really worried bobby backdoors himself into winning tournament and gets another year added to his contract

[RedTails]

First season I haven’t attended a basketball game in over a decade.

Brown can't leave without sitting out a year. He has already transferred and the new rule only allows one move without a sit out year. He could leave to play pro ball in Europe.

From what I see, players are silly giving lots of effort. Now focus and attention to detail is lacking. That was especially the case last night which caused some tongue lashings during some of the timeouts. Understand the frustration but I am not sure that was productive. There will probably be some attrition at the end of the year as that is not uncommon. Some may leave if there is new leadership on board and some may if there is not.
