One in which our spacing was good, we had players moving without the ball, and we didnt clog the lane to let one defender guard two of our players. In other words, not the one bigfish runs.
I will freely admit that Jesse liked to score in transition, but we DID actually have a half court game when we needed it.
When was the last time we beat a top 10 team?
There is no reason why Louisiana should not have a good mid major basketball team that competes with top 25 teams. It happens all over the country. You need 5 good players and a good coach. I’ve seen it happen here before when I was in college. We used to compete with these teams not long ago. Most of you may not like Jessie Evans but that was the last time we would compete with top 25 teams. Just saying.
Jessie's teams could indeed compete. ANd had off court issues and other "issues". But they would handle any Marlin team any day. I'm not expecting to win this game against a potential sweet sixteen school. Just show up better after 8 years ..
IKR. Just would be nice to compete. Basketball is not like Football where you need a whole village. It’s just disappointing to get ___ whopping after ___ whopping by these so called P5 teams.
Guess I’m getting old.
The dome was rocking back in the late 90s early 2000s.
We lost to P5 teams back then too. I think people are overestimating how good Evan’s teams were. There were lots of meh years. And the years where we were exceptional our RPI was in the 60’s-80’s which is right where we finished last year.
I too miss the days where the dome was packed and loud. It’s not Marlin’s fault that the fans don’t show up and get loud like they used to. That’s on us.
