Yes, the Cajuns did fall apart in the last few minutes. Sad thing is we led 65 to 64 with four minutes to go and did not score again. We won't win many games if we don't get mentally tougher. Face it, this team does not have the talent needed to be a consistent winner. Therefore the mistakes must be minimized.

Tim Floyd is 4-1 at UTEP right now if anyone is wondering.

He is also up by 12 against New Mexico St. as I type.

I still like Marlin, but Floyd was my first choice!

We're gonna get there. We just don't have a winner's mentality yet. Cleveland State and Houston aren't that much better than us. They just know how to win.

Floyd also took over a program who's former coach left for auburn and has a team that was in the tournament and lost to butler who should have won the national championship. I'd say their situations are a little different, in case you were wondering

Coach Marlin was upset with both his team and the refs in post game. Major comment was "We don't do what we are supposed to do when we are supposed to do it". He also said "I am used to winning games like this" Some of this is due to the results of the past few years. At crunch time, our guys are not mentally strong enough. They (like us) have become mentally conditioned to expect these results as a consequence of all the tough road outcomes from the past few years. Our guys need to learn how to "win". That is different than learning how to "play". Getting over this mental hump is the major challenge Coach Marlin and his staff have now.

Do you honestly think he would have been that successful regardless of where he went or the talent he took over?
