Final MBB Louisiana 65, Coastal Carolina 69

[RedBug58]

….Two (2) disastrous turnovers when we could have tied the game near the end…..pass out of bounds to a ghost….it happens! Love the offense, defense, attitude…..lWe can’t shoot free throws, 3 pointers, lay ups, or just short jumpers….like the direction of the program….9 Louisiana kids!

Coach Q is getting the most out of these kids. Playing great defense and hustle. Free throws much improved. Getting the most out of the talent we have. They are all much improved. Add this with the guys coming back & guys coming in next year; we win this game by 10. Should I say it??? Next year will be sweet!!!

The two teams combined had 8 assists. One of the keys to success the prior 4 games for UL was sharing the rock.

I’m a firm believer ONE play doesn’t determine the outcome of a 40 minute game. But this game had multiple moments that cumulative sealed the outcome.

Over the past four wins we were averaging roughly 14 assists per game and moving the ball. Yeah, this game we had less than half of that average. Now, I found we did move the ball and get good looks but we just couldn't hit anything, particularly in the first half.

We shot 9% from 3 in the first half but to coach's credit, you could tell there was an emphasis on getting in mid range or to the basket since we weren't shooting well from the perimeter.

I have no idea why Mejia is out there late in the game rather than Woodson and possibly even Ratliff. Woodson has been shooting lights out and we needed a 3 in the last couple of minutes and a guy that could hit the boards. We gave up a few critical offensive rebounds to CC down the stretch that allowed them to stretch possession and run time off the clock because we were running essentially 4 guards.

Overall tough game as we could have really moved up in the standings but this team will be tough in the conference tournament.

Shooting only 29% in the first half with many missed layups and makable shots put the Cajuns behind the eight ball early and they could not overcome it.

3 of 12 (three point) shooting in the first half could have changed the whole strategy to UL's favor at the end of the game.

ODU in two days we have to regroup.

Wanted to bring this up on game day and forgot. As I was coming back to my seat, I thought I heard them say that Bobby Paschal was in attendance?

He was there sitting at the baseline.

I'm right there with you; it was "announced" as if it was nothing. It should have been announced while there wasn't any background so we could have seen him and applauded.

Did get to see Elfrid up close.
