MBB Final UL 86, UAB 98

[Cajunrunner]

. . . that’s all you needed to post . . . and don’t forget they hated Deggs a couple years ago when they thought he was not going to make the tournament, and some wanted to run Glasco out of here for not making it to the final 8 . . .

No, not everyone who is over Marlin after FIFTEEN YEARS has been on the "Deggs/Glasco was the wrong hire" train. Not even close. And you know that.

You're talking out of both sides of your neck. So I guess saying the basketball program needs to go in a different direction is different than saying fire Marlin? Wow! You said the same sentiment with different words! You're so far higher up than the rest of us. Careful not to get altitude sickness.

I guess I should clarify what I was trying to say. I read often on this board that Marlin is an awful in-game coach.

Yesterday was a game where one team’s players were better than the others, and Coach K, Bob Knight or whoever wasn’t flipping that result once UAB decided to guard/rebound.

As far as direction, I think UL (and most mid-majors) have to rethink how to build a championship team in this NIL world. That’s all.

I’m sorry if I gave a perception I’m more of an expert than any of you. I’m not.

Main point is I like to get on this board to get an idea of what is truly happening in UL sports. Don’t get much Cajuns here near Cincinnati.

When it comes to basketball, just gets old to read “fire Marlin” every game chat. I understand why it’s gotten there.

Have a good day everyone.

Think about what you just said. UAB just had better players. Their best player was a kid playing at LSU Alexandria. Marlin has put together the worst roster here in a long long time. He ran off Fulks, Julien, and Charles to put this roster together.

To the point of Bob as an in-game coach, keep in mind: we have been outscored in the 2H in every D1 game this season. Did all 6 teams just to decide to wake up at half? I don’t think so.

To the point of talent, when you ask why talent is at this dismal level in year 15 of Bob’s tenure, the reasons you will be given are injuries and transfers. The big losses in those regards were Hosanna, Julien, and Charles. Guess what? All 3 were here last year, and we still underperformed. 5th place finish in the Belt and a 27 point thrashing from the 4th place team in the Quarterfinals of the tournament.

Thanks.

Makes sense

Are we finally seeing rock bottom of the Marlin era?

ABSOLUTELY!

[CharlieK]

I hate when the coach has to play with players somebody else recruited. Oh, wait.

How about we all show up to the next home game and boo marlin and let him know how we feel?
