I'm reluctant to comment on anything related to UL Basketball, since I gave up 30+ years of season tickets two years ago and really don't keep up with the team like I used too. But from the outside looking in, it appears to me that this era of UL basketball is equivalent to the Baldwin years in football. It doesn't get any worse than that!
Sunbelt basketball is meaningless
Will there be a single at-large bid out of the Sunbelt? If not, then the entire season is basically pointless, and boils down to who can get hot or catch a couple breaks in the conference tournament. That's not worth $13 a beer and $7 popcorn
If by some random chance we steal the tournament and win the auto-bid, everyone expects us to be a #13 seed who tries reeeeaaaalll hard but ultimately hangs another banner in the "almost big win" trophy case
Finally figured that out? Don’t forget the league’s rep is a proverbial blind squirrel finding a nut, the last case being when Scooter, Jr was playing for dad at Georgia State (2015). And yet we watch JMU fans crying they deserve an at large if they fall short, but with a NET solidly in the 50’s. Ain’t happening, same NET situation in Lake Chuck.
The only people who don't want or refuse to see it are the ones who attack anyone who criticizes the program, coaches, admin, etc.
UL sports will continue to wither on the vine until you get rid of the people who still believe that Acadiana should support the Cajuns merely because they exist here in Lafayette..
