MBB Final: Louisiana 80, ULM 72

[RaginScotsman]

The crowds really are a shame. These guys get after it and are a lot of fun to watch. Kitenge is a man on a mission every second on the floor. The players on this team surely deserve better. 5 game winning streak coming in, and if there were 2,000 people in the Dome, I’m the Dalai Lama.

These guys deserve better.

The winning streak is great. Beating the teams that record wise you're supposed to. Usually, a slip up could be expected, but they've been consistent. Albeit against what looks like teams they are better than.

Saturday's crowd will be interesting. I want people to show up. The atmosphere this year is kind of sad. It's so quiet most of the time. But, with a 6 game win streak let's see who shows up.

Social media marketing alone won't do it. We've known that is the case for some time. Does the admin get it?

Less than 2k at the dome.and this quote from Maggard in the Advocate."We’re really good in the creative space — video, graphics, social media, communications," Maggard said. "Those two areas right there can benefit both recruiting and revenue generation. It’s how you sell yourself to the public, to the masses, matters"

That wasn’t a good quote?

Why wasn't the game time changed to not conflict with the mess of traffic from the Rio parade about the same time the game will end. My daughter has season tickets but will probalby not attend because the only access to her street is Johnston along the parade route.

Post game we seemed to applaud holding USM below their league leading offensive rebound record. They shot 65% inside three. Not too many off rebounds available. They were only 25% from 3 which held their % down. I liked our rebounding but didn’t like that the game was not truly decided until they missed on two of their last three possessions and we got two critical off rebounds. Hope we can solve our 20 point lead swoons. But we won.

Kind of a weird game. We hit 10 3's and outrebounded ULM as well as shot over 80% from the FT line and won by 8 over a bad team. I'm trying to figure out how those guys shot over 50% from the field. I just remember watching saying how bad they were and they couldn't shoot.

What time do you believe they should have changed the time of the game to?

Oh crap. Parade starts at 6:30 and game starts at 7

I hate to say it but the crowd Saturday will likely be terrible because of this

It should rain alot Saturday Any chance the parade gets rescheduled?

Unfortunately, parades usually stay on schedule outside of an hour or two depending on the situation.

[CajunVic]

To the extent they can even get the weather right ahead of time, it’s pretty much 100% rain all day long on Saturday.

Question wasn't directed to me , but 4ish would be nice. Game would end right around the time parade starts. That wouldn't help the traffic issue but would allow people to attend both events

Oh, shoot. Sorry for Rio, but we have a nice covered, air-conditioned dome in which to watch a team on a 6 game heater play.

Just have to get 2 thousand there. Show us that it can be done. It's not asking for the moon.

The 2 options:

1) Stand in the pouring rain to watch a parade

2) Sit in a nice arena to watch a basketball game

I'll take option 2.

[CajunVic]

Game will end at 9 ish, a little before the time REO will reach Cajun Field.

Attending Cajun game is a good excuse to skip two hours in the rain on the parade route.

I'll be there. Its a shame that 2,000 is the goal on a Saturday night, but I'll be surprised if we get it

Our group of 6 will be there, cheering the Cajuns on to another win.
