MBB Home Finale: Louisiana 64, Arkansas State 83

Anyone know what the arky state coach said to garnett that caused a tech on coach z?

He told KG that he “wasn’t like that” after he missed a shot. Basically saying he sucked. He instigated it and then of course the refs always catch the retaliation. Zim was telling the refs that their coach started yapping at our players and when the refs refused to do anything about it he started yelling at state coach telling him don’t talk to his players.

When was the last time a team at UL did not play hard? We keep saying the team plays so hard. I think all college teams play hard every night. It comes down to how good your players really are and how well coached the team is. Our problem is we do not consistently execute set plays. We also have zero inside presence. This is the biggest downfall for the team when we lost Hosana. The best college basketball teams are at their best when the play inside out.

I personally say it b/c these guys have had every opportunity to throw in the towel this season. Coach gets relieved before the (conference) season starts, pre-season player of the year out before the season starts.

If these guys can get 1 or 2 solid players and a coaching staff who can get a solid system in place, I think their grit would be tough to play day in and day out in the SBC.

It is a no no in the coaching world to speak to an opposing team's players during the contest. That is something that is just not done. Pre and post game is something different. Most fans there applauded Coach Z standing up for his team. 7 technical fouls called is a little excessive. Officials had a rough night last evening. As far as actual game goes, Craig and I mentioned in our podcast Nelson (#35) is a guy we would struggle to control. Hated being right on that. He dominated the game on both ends. Obviously, we need that type of talent here.

I’m imagining the league gets continuous feedback from coaches on the pros/cons of playing on Wednesday.

If coaches/ADs think lessening the demands of travel is more important than the quality/experience of officiating, will just have to accept things like this and move on.
