MBB Final: Louisiana 66, Texas State 46

Hit two 3’s and Bob took the timeout killing the momentum. Why on earth does he continue to do that?

It is mind boggling because basketball is a momentum game.

You can’t watch a Cajuns basketball game without experiencing the Bob Marlin Special.

Some people need to take a timeout from posting

LOL. This is rich

Would hate anyone to make a post when it’s supposed to be a timeout. Good lawd save their soul.

If the guys had executed the time out would have been forgotten. Turned the ball over on an alley oop attempt. Other time outs made sense. Guys were getting sloppy. At times didn’t have great ball handling on the court.

There was one concerning stat. Mike Thomas’ shot clock buzzer beater 3 in the second half, only bench points.


Texas State is flat out bad.

Yes the Bobcats are struggling this season. The Cajuns turned the ball over too much and did not finish at the rim with enough efficiency. However there are a few positives as that is usually the case when you win by 20. The only team that held the Bobcats to fewer points this season is Houston. Cajuns defense and effort on glass was strong all day. You can win a lot of games if you do that consistently as shots don’t fall every game.
I did not realize Themus Fulks had ZERO assists. Part of that is because Bobcats took away his passing angles as he drove which forced him to shoot. He had good body control and used glass well which helped him score over 20. IF the Cajuns continue to play well, game vs Troy here could be one that decides if CAjuns finish in top 4. Notice I capitalized the word IF. Each opponent requires proper preparation and respect.

Maybe that is a good thing. It indicates the team is making at least one positive run in a game. I have noticed this does not occur as frequently when Cajuns are playing from behind.

Hell, IF we play, we have a chance to win with this team.

1st trip to the dome this year. I like the way these guys play. Easy to say because they are winning, I know.

Pretty muted win that was never really in doubt. Crowd was in church mode on a Sunday. You could hear a pin drop at times.

Maybe news of this win streak will create a little buzz. The schedule is really kind coming up. Could rattle off a few more.

ULM won their 3rd conference game in a row today. They beat Arkansas State 85 to 82 in OT. Warhawks were down 16 at one point. ULM banked in a three with a few seconds remaining. Shot was complete luck. Regardless Warhawks playing with confidence now and Cajuns need to be well prepared for Wednesday night.

can't wait for the UL/USM game, it would be nice to see some pay back for last year.

Same night as the LSU/UL baseball game in Houston. Might be more USM fans in the dome.

Oh man, that's rough. We already made plans to be in Houston.

Yep, you, me, and a bunch of others. Unfortunate conflict.
