MBB Final: Louisiana 73, Texas State 82

[GMG]

Is anyone still interested in men's basketball?? Has everyone had enough losing? When is this AD going to do something about this pitiful coach?

The men's basketball program has been a joke for years, but for some reason Maggard can't pull the trigger on one of the worst coaches in UL history. 1 NCAA and 1 NIT tourney in over a decade. It can't get much worse, it's time for new blood right after this season is over.

The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns basketball team played well, but Texas State put them away late at the free throw line to sweep the regular season series with them.

Could be worse, could be one NCAA and one NIT in 50 years.

Neither is acceptable.

This gmg cares about winning basketball.

This gmg cares about winning basketball.

Everybody cares about “this gmg” about as much as they care about basketball . . .

[CajunEXPRESS]

Like it or not NCAA basketball is the single best way to get glory and money at our level.

Isn't Marlin the winningest coach in UL history?

I am pretty sure Beryl Shipley is the winningest coach in program history (regardless of what NCAA says.). Coach Marlin has more SBC wins than any other coach.

The sun belt has been a mediocre to borderline terrible basketball conference for the majority of Marlin’s 12 year tenure. He has only won 1 regular season title and that was after middle and western left. Could you imagine how many wins Jessie Evans could have reeled off in a pizz poor conference? The SBC was actually decent when he was here.

Thanks. I couldn't remember exactly what it was. I just remembered him being honored with something like that a year or two ago.

I, along with almost everyone else, am way past ready for a change. I can't even bring myself to watch anymore.

Oh wait, basketball lost again?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Oh wait, basketball lost again?

No news here, go back into hibernation until baseball opens.

At this point, we are just biding time. Unless we win the Sun Belt Tournament (pfffff hahaha!), I would think a change should be coming sooner than later.

Which is exactly what scares me the most. This team is talented enough to put together a hot 3 game streak and win the SBC tournament. Jay was right when he said anybody can pretty much beat anybody on any given night.

Turnovers are the worst thing about watching this team. We lead the league in TO's and this is a bad league and its downright comical at times watching this team function like a special needs PE class.

Disagree. We were way oversold on this team’s talent. Inside yes, but the guards just aren’t that good.
