MBB Final: Louisiana 76, Coastal Carolina 77

Bobby has a better chance of winning the Kentucky dirby as a jockey then winning the sunbelt.

USM and Marshall will come in the dome and embarrass Bobby in front of all 10 of his friends.

That was like watching the second half of so many football games this year. Got the lead then don’t do a damn thing to put the other team away. Coastal, either by free throws or easy layups hangs around and we don’t do a thing about it. Just possession after possession of offensive ineptitude down the stretch.

Poor Coaching is the problem with both sports at “halftime”

Fulks had a good game. Nearly had a triple double but in general, our guard play was poor.

His production in first half was weak.

Are we REALLY blaming refs? We blew a 10 point lead with under 5 minutes to play. Our defense took the rest of the night off by then. How many CCU points came in the paint to close the game?

This is the product of what we have already been seeing over the last decade or so. Nothing more, nothing less.

Maybe that’s why I’m so mad. Just watching a continuation of football season. I don’t normally get too high or low for basketball, but watching that game after the bowl game really was a bad combo.

Bruh don't give me that crap...being down 10 in the first half to friggin Coastal is what lost this game. This game being close at all is embarrassing. We have been bamboozled. This team will go .500 in conference and lose in the 2nd round. This team is way overhyped.

No it isn't. We took the lead early second half and stretched the lead to 10 ourselves. How is that the reason we lost?

Why are people acting surprise about our guard play? Mike and Mel made it clear on their pod and Mike commented here it’s a liability.

[Jacob81]

Btw. 14 teams in the belt. Only ULM has a losing record. Sounds like a lot of L’s coming for Bobby.

His production in first half was weak.

Maybe if you're looking at points but he ran the point effectively and defended ok.

I'd say his adjustments at halftime worked. He just didn't adjust to the last 5 minutes of the game.

It’s not the ability of our guards. It’s the damn offense Bobby runs. Home many great PG’s have we had under Bobby?? I’ll wait….. How many looked sloppy and dribbled too much?? There’s a common factor here.

[zephyr]

Still had almost 2 seconds left. Should've drove the lane and made the refs blow the whistle. One way or another. Our guard play sucks

I think that was the plan. I don't think Fulks knew that as its hard if your teammates aren't vocal and telling you that. I won't say it was a great decision but its a tough spot to be in.
