MBB Final: Louisiana 59, ULM 69

[JamesTheJeweler]

Basketball was the King of UL sports back in late 60's, 70's and even 80's. We were ranked in the top 20. It is hard to believe that this basketball program has digressed this much. The older fans have given up on this program.

It's not just the older fans. It's fans in general have given up on this program. But thank God we locked him up to that extension. Lord knows the big boys were beating down our door to lure away the Big Fish.

Should have been given a one year extension for the tourney appearance. If he did it back to back, give a longer one.

Losing to ULM the way we did is unacceptable. No other way to put it.

It may have been a tough loss. At least Marlin still has the fan bases support !

When you average 20+ wins a season against tough schedules, support tends to follow. Couple that kind of success with a likable personality (which Marlin has in spades) and you get the packed out arena we see for every home game.

His name is Gary ok

Really sad to see Fulks playing like he is. He was so important to us last year. He can't beat anyone off the dribble and his shot has gone overboard. It's basically time to think about Thomas ahead of him or at least bring in Thomas sooner. Garnett is the same. The entire league knows the scouting report on this guy and they are just running him off the 3 point line and he doesn't know how to finish at the rim or even shoot a mid range shot.

We missed so many open shots last night it was shocking. I know Marlin will say something about sometimes the shots just don't fall but he screwed up big time when in the first half, we were running the press with some of our subs and we got it going. He should have stuck to that and then used it more throughout the game. They clearly had problems with our pressure. And when you're not hitting shots very well, getting open looks from pressure is exactly what you need.

This season shouldn't surprise anyone. We're doing barely OK, but same old regression following a good year. Par for the course of CBM tenure. If the Cajuns don't win the SBC Tournament, Dr. Maggard should ask CBM to resign/retire whatever after this season.

Both WBB and MBB lost to ULMost this year.

Both WBB and MBB lost to ULMost this year.

I'm letting that sink in ... any year.

[Sonsissymia]

but there's always softball...

[Jacob81]

I figured this team would be below .500 this year with what we lost. But the addition and play of HK and Julien being healthy has made us competitive.

Let’s be honest. This team can’t make a run in the conference tourney. If they do and go to the dance as a 14-15 seed. They get blown out. Just not much to excite anyone. And Bob, while he has seemed to calm down a lot is still a pain in the ass sometimes.

But, he is the all time winning coach with the most wins vs NAIA competition.

I don't know what yall are complaining about. Marlin is killin' it right now.

The program, I mean......he's killing the program.
