MBB: JMU 68, UL 61

We got destroyed on the boards

Always

And Marlin is involved in an altercation at the end of the game. Good grief.

I didn't see it but I did see a JMU staffer taunting Marlin the whole game when Marlin would contest calls. He was on the second row and I saw it multiple times

It's really sad that we had a basketball game against a Top 20 conference team and this thread is only 4 pages.

Cut everybody some slack. They were all at the game! lol

I also saw the JMU assistant coach constantly taunting Marlin. I didn’t know what why he kept walking almost to Bob’s side and pointing and yelling at him. It was weird then I realized he was taunting our bench or Bob. Scrappy game that refs lost control of. There should have been at least 2 techs on JMU, but that’s not why we lost. Poor shooting in first half and missed Free Throws down the stretch.

This game was decided by rebounding which I've been critical of the cajuns this year for, namely, JMU's ability to ORB and efficiency. The game was cagey to say the least but the last 10 minutes, JMU was much more efficient. Namely, they can come down the court and run a nice double screen to get their best shooter a wide open 3 point shot which he makes and we are constantly struggling in our offense to get anything, much less a wide open shot for our best shooters.

Little late to the thread but, game thoughts:
-JMU is no where near #19
-why are we trapping the 3 pt line with Hosana
-defense was great, offense was abysmal
-did no one see the JMU player elbow our player in the ribs in the paint? Easy tech

That would be 3. He was throwing elbows off as the high offensive pick almost every time.

JMU will face the harsh realities of SBC basketball. They won’t run the table, but even if they did, the bottom of the league’s NET kills any at large hope. I hope they do run the table, yack in the tournament and sit home. League has only 4 teams above 200, rest stinking it up.

Refs holding a conference with 20 seconds left discussing where the throw in should be after a JMU TO call. SMH.

So are we still finishing the season with single digit losses?

What are the betting odds on that?

ball defense was solid but rebounding is a part of defense and we gave up WAY too many offensive rebounds

JMU is easily becoming the most hated program all around in this conference. Whiny ass fans, whiny coaches and dk head players. Basketball, baseball, football…it’s all the same.

when teams move up they have lots of players that couldn't get on other teams for grades or for being thuggish and it shows every time a team moves up divisions

The losses are always decided by refs. All 7 of them were all the refs fault. Not because our offense becomes stagnant
