Basketball points

A road trip abroad would definitely sped up chemistry, especially with transfers coming in.

Logic says you are correct but I don't see it.

10-4 against the easiest part of the schedule comlared to 16-3 vs the hardest, shows me a team that came together as the season progressed.

I'm not the biggest basketball fan in the world, but there are three things that this team did this year that I didn't see as much in the past

1 they shot free throws and made those points, it drives me nuts to see teams that aren't good free throw shooters since to me that shows a team that doesn't pay attention to the small details

2 they rebounded and had multiples around the board which enabled them to have rebound points

and 3 they were very good from the 3 point range which would open up the inside game when needed.

What are you talking about, the trip to Puerto Rico was a "road" trip.

If the road trip to Puerto Rico was going to pay dividends it would be on the "road" not at home.

It took TWO in-State road victories just to get this team to .500 on the "road."

No. If the road trip to PR was going to pay dividends it would be in team chemistry and the cohesiveness of the team. Bob has said as much those days are a great bonding experience for his team. Jay said last night in the post game of all the years he has done UL basketball he has never saw a team more together and that cared for their teamates more than this one…… Fast forward to a tourney championship and trip to the dance. I say mission accomplished and money well spent.

What about undefeated at the Cajun Dome for the first time ever? Did PR trip have anything to do with that?

I am pretty sure that we’ve had longer stretches of win streaks at the Cajun Dome. Just not through the same season b

It has been said many times by the so called experts that the hardest thing to do in college sports is win on the road in basketball. 7-7 on the road is even. 14-0 at home. 5-0 on neutral sites. That’s 26-7. What exactly are we questioning here? Definitely one of the best season performances in the Cajun Dome era of Cajuns basketball.

I know Bob believes it.

He does it every time he thinks he will have a peak team.

2013 Spain
2017 Cuba
2022 Puerto Rico

These trips should not be needed to put together a winner.

You can only go every 4 years.....

You can only go every 4 years.....

Not my point.

Bob times it perfectly, with his best teams so I know he believes in the positive effects.

He needs to figure out a way to teach without the benefit of an early start.

TURBINE DA TRIP WORKED, CLOSE YA LIL EYES AND BELIEVEEEEEE

I'm not buying the trip for one second.

He finds the money every four years when he knows he has a 20 win team, but can't find a dime to bring a quality team into the dome every four years.

This team got better and better as the season progressed and I think Marlin did a great job of coaching. But I don't think Puerto Rico had anything to do with winning the Sunbelt tournament.

Dang guys, we’re dancing.

No, we're fighting on RP, the tournament doesn't start for another little while
