MBB NCAA Final: Louisiana 55, Tennessee 58

[Policarp]

Absolute Horrible 1st half did us in. Bob did not have them prepared.
No way that Tenn team should have won that game. They are not good.

Proud of our players for fighting until the end.

Bob did fine......we had open shots in 1st half. Klanked to many

[Bandwagon King]

This team was special because they showed what this program is truly capable of. Couldn’t be prouder of these guys.

To say this team was special is to say how tragically the emphasis on men's basketball at UL has fallen off the cliff since the beginning of this century. The only thing special about this team is their never say die attitude. It sure as hell wasn't great coaching, or magnificent talent. I can remember when this team had talent, coaching & a great attitude, but the fans were never satisfied.

Proud of the effort in the second half.

First half shooting woes were a killer.

Congrats to the team for a good season, they were fun to watch all year. There’s not much more the fans can ask for as far as the team playing hard goes. They left it all out there and should be commended for their efforts.

On to next year.

I'm too old for moral victories

I’m trying to explain that to my bride. I haven’t broken anything…yet.

I’m not being nasty, just a funny observation.

Put Dez’s first half team with Marlin’s second half team, then you’ve got a great team in something.

I get it and kinda funny, even now.

Watching a 7 seed, aTm, getting smoked by. 22 at the moment is bittersweet. UL had a chance to curb stomp UT in the first half and didn’t. The staff settled the guys down and made a run. Bottom line, the collective group did not quit. It doesn’t change the fact my dog is hiding under the bed because I’m still ____ed.

Imagine if we had a healthy Greg Willliams for the game. He was obviously hampered by the injury. He is our 2nd leading scorer and he did not score in the game in limited action.

[ragin50]

Atrocious guard play for the first 30 minutes did us in. Guards basically stood around in that span, that's on the staff to not correct it.

No points for Greg Williams really hurt. Gotta believe he might still be injured.

[Big Buds]

Imagine facing Duke for a Sweet 16 trip on the line. Too many what ifs.

[RaginCajun309]

Dude, just stated a fact. Never said a thing about moral victory. Some folks made coin.

Made coin or won, who’s the fan?

[ZoomZoom]

Made coin or won, who’s the fan?

Me for one…took the points on a one one bet. Not happy about outcome but 10.5 was too much to pass.

But it’s no moral victory.

[LifeTimeCajun]

You make 1 three point fg in first half and its a diff ballgame.

[ragincajun97]

Coach doesn’t get called for a tech to offset them and it’s a different gane

[sportsfanatic21]

Just remembered UT banking in a 3 from the wing in the first half.

And a 3 point difference in the final.

Ugh
