I watched most of the game today and I think the opponent was better than the one from yesterday. The Cajuns still did not convert the transition opportunities at the level they need to for consistent success and the game was sloppy for both teams at times, however not to the degree of yesterday. Good news is Jordan Brown dominated the game and his teammates actually made a point of getting him the ball. Very encouraging sign was he hit a high percentage of his free throws today. Jalen Dalcourt and Michael Thomas were the guys who hit big shots from the perimeter late in the game today. I don’t understand some of the calls I am seeing in 2 games and I don’t understand the Spanish announcers most of the time. Coach Marlin actually received a tech today. I don’t know the extent of the injury to Joe Charles. Unfortunate that it occurred with less than 30 seconds remaining. He and Jordan Brown were both going for an offensive rebound and he flipped completely over Jordan.
The SBC does not have a home game requirement at this time. Our Contract with Learfield calls for 14 home games. It is my understanding that requirement can occasionally be waived if both parties agree special circumstances call for said waiver. You are allowed 29 games per year unless you play in an MTE. I don’t know if the Asheville tournament is an MTE event but I don’t think so. Therefore we are likely to play 29 games.
This year may be the exception. I’m all for the team growing together and having extra time to learn about each other. However, we need to do SOMETHING to get fans outside of the same group somewhat interested in the program. If I had to guess, I would say over 80% (I’m being generous) of the fan base that once followed the program has clocked out. And that part has more to do with our program than the external factor of what college basketball has become.
Well, hope the guys pull the third game and really shut that bravado down. But then again, the PR teams (supposedly semi pro) are 0 for 7 against Ruston, Charleston Southern and UL. Saw a post game picture of the Cajuns and the white team. We should of played pitch and catch down low with our bigs the entire game.
Normally wE can play as much as 15 to 17 road games depending if you play in an MTE or not. I guess if the Learfield 14 home game requirement was waived you could play more. Of course you can play less if you schedule more home games.
ONLY thing that can be done to increase enthusiasm for the program this season is to win a championship.
What do the girls average per game, in actual attendance? 400?
They had quadruple that when LSU came to town.
Don't tell me the opponent doesn't matter. It's simply not true.
It's another excuse. Meanwhile, the same people that have held this program hostage for a decade continue to excuse every reasonable explanation as to why we're stuck in neutral. It's the SAME freaking people holding us back. Bored people with a check book and a seat next to Bob during the games rather than watch the train wreck. I'm soooo over the BS with this program. Now we have T-Plus * attacking one of our most recognizable and beloved alumni? What in holy hell has gone wrong here?!
