MBB Final Louisiana 64, Georgia Southern 65

[ZoomZoom]

16 seconds to win the game at the end. Where's Bobby Paschal when you need him. Hell even Marty would of had something up his sleeve.

Not Marty, up 5 with possession, minute left. He calls timeout. Lost. Seen it live, sure a few here did too.

In 11 years here, 2 NCAA appearances, one regular season championship, 75-73 overall conference record, 30 games over 500 overall. He gets mileage for the 2 wins over Oklahoma. Cajuns were a bad matchup for the Sooners. Had a good run years 5-9, bookended by bad years. After 11 years it was time for a change.

Other than the second NCAA appearance and clustering his good years, Marty and Bob are from the same mold at UL.

Bob said in the post game the play was set up to Kentrell and Thomas didn't make the pass instead trying to go inside.

Our best player is a walk on.

I'd say there was probably 1000-1200. It was announced at just over 3000.

Still weak crowds for MBB in the south.

Still weak crowds for MBB in the south.

The place would be packed with a winning program.

[NewsCopy]

The UL men’s basketball team entered a four-game homestand running in place in the Sun Belt Conference race hoping to ignite a surge in the standings.

After Saturday’s 66-65 loss to Georgia Southern, the Ragin’ Cajuns are now heading in reverse.

Check the media guide. The Cajuns have never sold out the dome. Nor have we ever consistently “packed” the dome. Overall, the crowds have gotten smaller thru the years. The past two years are Covid years so PART of the decline is directly related to that. I know multiple season ticket holders that are Covid absent.

Now would the crowd size maybe stabilize, yes. But the vast majority of the fans with basketball in their blood are from the Blackham era and they’re dying off. And nothing was done along the decades of decline to stop this, or at least control what we could.

Change is needed, and it’s not just coaches.

I want to be optimistic but from the football staff turnover to major cogs in RCAF leaving to even the soccer coach bailing and even SLU coming in our parish and hosting a SB tournament at a time we normally do, we got issues.

Everything you say is true, but as you noted the winning program was in the Blackham era.

The CajunDome has never experienced "a winning program."

Winning years? Yes. Winning program? No.

I think "the place would be packed with a winning program."

Agreed. If Maggard hasn't done it by now, I don't think it's gonna happen.

Why not just reassign Marlin and let Brock Morris take over for the rest of the year? They can let Marlin go after March or whenever it is more financially viable to do so. Let's see what Brock can do and shake things up. The current situation is not sustainable. We can open up a coaching search after the season is over.

This makes way too much sense. I would like to see if Brock Morris could light a fire in the guys as we do have talent. We just can’t finish our games and win.

Outscored 9-2 in the last 6 minutes Thursday.

Outscored 10-1 in the last 3 minutes last night.

The turnovers. The missed free throws.

I literally am staring at my screen trying to rap my head around this and I got nothing.

I think we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Maggard isn’t going to fire Marlin at this stage, and Marlon isn’t going to quit and be labeled a quitter.

I guess we should just be resigned to the fact that, barring winning out and a win or two in the NCAA’s, this season is pretty much a throwaway and we will start all over again next year.
