MBB Final: Louisiana 73, App State 85

Cajuns forced a turnover after the timeout. That has happened often lately. That had nothing to do with outcome. This is a game which App won more than CAjuns lost. There is a difference. Mountaineers played an outstanding game in all aspects. Some of the shots Marsh hit could not have been guarded any better. They have a team capable of winning an NCAA tournament game.

I still don't understand why Fields hardly played in the second half when others were not hitting and he was in the first half.

They’ll have to win the SBC tournament with a NET in the 80s to make the dance.

3 games in March. I’m watching the next 2 weeks what team is hot. App is hitting the road soon, we’ll see.

App did just make some stellar shots when they needed them.

I don’t care how good or bad the other team is 4 points in an 8 minute stretch of game time is pathetic

I will not argue with that. Wonder if fatigue was factor as we did not go up strong enough near basket and did not finish at basket well late in game. Of course having bodies like Spiller and Absom bang on you will wear most teams down. Regardless the Cajuns are unlikely to win if Julien and Garnett both go 0 for 4 from three. Despite what many basketball “experts” say, the game often comes down to shot making.

Yeah but this does not fit the anti-marlin narrative.

Marlin gonna Marlin. Hey, let's extend him again.

Coach said in post game that it was considered. They simply went with more experience. Julien did score some on drives during period. I think he should have kept doing that instead of settling for 3 while cold from outside. Still they may wish they had made a different decision. Did Cajuns shoot any free throws in second half.

Gotta factor in altitude as well. It’s different up there.

Kobe shot the only one. UL was 5-5 for the game. App was 15-17. Fouls were 8-15.

App did play good defense. Great when you consider they only committed 3 shooting fouls and 8 total in entire game. Cajuns never got close to being in bonus in either half. Obviously I am being slightly sarcastic when I talk about Great defense to commit so few fouls.

APP STATE with 6600 at the game tonight.

1900+ at the BC - OP high school game in the CajunDome tonight.

Did anyone take out a second mortgage so they could get concessions?

Oh, and let’s not forget limited talent on this team. Can’t figure out who’s responsible for that.
