Rest assured the team will respond.

I just don't think this team is built for winning on the road. We are frontrunners, when things are going good, we play defense, when we start missing shots, defense goes away.

Then we start making shots and call timeouts.

I will not argue with that. Wonder if fatigue was factor as we did not go up strong enough near basket and did not finish at basket well late in game. Of course having bodies like Spiller and Absom bang on you will wear most teams down. Regardless the Cajuns are unlikely to win if Julien and Garnett both go 0 for 4 from three. Despite what many basketball “experts” say, the game often comes down to shot making.

The game comes down to shot making. You are right. However, you'd be wrong if by shot making you are specifically referencing three point shots exclusively.

Gotta factor in altitude as well. It’s different up there.

All the more reason to work in your bench throughout the game. Obviously Fields played really well but we also got some good minutes from Ratliff and he deserved to play more himself. I am now convinced that we just wear our guys down during the course of most games which is why we've really had trouble executing down the stretch, particularly in our losses.

We will win the SB Tourney
The “ Mental “ and maybe altitude did us in yesterday, it definitely wasn’t referees or coaching..

When we were focused and locked down on the fence, they couldn’t do anything against us except hit some really tough contested shots like the one before half time. I guarantee you we won’t hold them in Pensacola if we face them.

Marlin will have a solid game plan with a twist in the tournament. I’ll tell you this and people may not know it but Hosana is one of the best three point shooters on the team.

Look for him to take a few in the Tourney opening up the game for us in other areas

Yes that correct “ Hosana “ can shoot the 3 !!! Believe Dat .

Time to move forward

Have Faith

Well coaching kept our hottest player on offense on the bench nearly the entire second half when we had trouble scoring. He also buried the bench and wore our guys down which led to being less effective in the last 10 minutes or so.

Frontrunners, thats catchy. How about RPCA frontrunners

We are definitely built for the road.

We are definitely built for the road.

Built for the road but below .500?

Built for the road but below .500?

We will show up at the conference tournament.

We are definitely built for the road.

How so? We play the starters massive minutes and for some reason left the hottest player we had in Fields, out the game for the entire second half.

App state couldn't have beat us at a neutral site. The refs were terrible and we have played in front of more hostile crowds in the past.
