MBB Final: Louisiana 73, App State 85

[UL_Cajuns]

Can Marlin win a big one? This is a huge road test today and the App crowd will be packed and into it.

Geaux Cajuns!

I got a feeling

Would continue what’s shaping up to be a pretty good UL sports weekend. Counting the Thursday basketball games.

It’s a long shot. 17.5% chance, 7.5 road dog, 144.5 O/U, which translates UL scoring in the 60s for the under.

Would be nice, threes have to rain like crazy for the good guys.

WBB, ESPN has no odds, but they do have an AI driven article.

App blocks a bunch of shots per game, 3's better fall for UL...time to play some string music in the mountains...

Or attack the rim and get those guys in foul trouble.

It won't be easy to attack the rim against App. Their defense is predicated on building a wall so you can't get to rim. Threes can be open. If they fall, Cajuns could possibly pull the upset. That is something that can't be predicted. Other problem is rebounding. App has some mature and strong inside players. They get a few offensive boards per game. Look, App has a better overall team than the Cajuns. That does not mean the Cajuns can't win. They will have to play at a high level to do so of course.

Under 12 time out, 11:16 mark, tied at 16. Going OOP for a while.

Great to see some nice production from the bench, in particular Fields.

[Million$Mullet]

Fun first half. 39-37 Cajuns at half. Fields with 13

[zeppelincajun]

Guys came to play today. Cajuns up 2 at half. App gets a prayer answered or it would have been a 5 point lead at the half.

[RaginScotsman]

What a great game so far. App can ball. They’ve hit some stupid shots.

They have tremendous guard play. Big and physical as well. And yes they have hit some very tough shots.

Hope we can finish this thing off.

Bob Marlin timeout.

HK having his way...that's a real post player...
