Time to shock the world.

He’s right. How the hell are you down double digits forcing twelve turnovers in a half

We're shooting 29% from the field and 0% on 3 pointers. We also have a total of 12 rebounds.

[zephyr]

True, but what has Marlin done to adjust to the zone?

We missed point blank range shots in that zone. They didn't play it that long.

[zephyr]

To have any chance in the second half we are going to have to hit some 3's. Our guards will need to get hot or we will be done.

Again, true.

Hard to rebound when turnovers are like Oprah giving out free books and point blank shots are missed.

[RaginCajun309]

Look man, I get that notion but you can't make these guys play better. They were prepared as our defense has been spot on. At some point, the players have to go out and execute. A lot of mental errors out there.

He can't make Dalcourt see Brown cutting on the baseline for a dunk and Fulks miss Charles on two wide open shooting opportunities or Lewis bumbling the ball and passing to nobody.

Every play out of a timeout we suck, that’s coaching. He’s literally telling them what to do.

This situation isn’t on Marlin. You can’t miss wide open shots all night against a good team. And that’s exactly what is happening.

Cajuns are playing hard and they’ve gotten open looks. But 0-6 from 3 and at least 2 missed from point blank range under the basket.

That’s the difference in the game. Marlin ain’t out there missing shots

Ok

[JMV JustMyView]

And he is getting hacked with no calls.

Come on man. Stop with the excuses.

[zephyr]

Look, everyone step away from the keyboard. DaBoot says we can still go to the sweet 16! We have a shot!

You're right. Give that man a 5 year extension!

[sportsfanatic21]

Make 2 of 6 from 3 instead of 0-6 and make one of the 2 right at the basket and it’s 30-27.

Just can’t miss the way they are missing

[zephyr]

You're right. Give that man a 5 year extension!

Uh, no. But that doesn't mean that first half is on Marlin. The players had poor decision making and execution. At some point you have to say they didn't play well.

[RaginCajun309]

Ok

Show me the stats that we are good out of a to. We suck. Coach is gonna coach them up or he isn’t.

[sportsfanatic21]

You're right. Give that man a 5 year extension!

Never said he’s great or needs an extension. But blaming the coach when the players are missing wide open shots is ridiculous.
