MBB Final: LA 76, GSU 72

Haven’t seen a made shot chart, but I promise a big blob for GAST on the right of the basket. Double digit layups.

Thank you Justin Miller the worst athlete to ever strap up for a UL b-ball team. Thank you bob for being mediocre and finally shutting Ron up. And thank you to the fans that made Demarcus Simonds their _____. ___k Georgia state!!

You're being a little hard on Justin.

This game was a tale of two Justin Miller's for sure. State isn't in the game if they don't take advantage of Justin as a defensive liability for stretches - there were a lot of uncontested shots where he just didn't make it out to defend - but we don't win the game without Justin's heart and gutty play to close it out with his late rebound and free throws. Nothing that happened tonight, not the good nor the bad, are totally on him. But to deny one exists while playing up the other is not being honest.

Justin is fine if he would avoid dribbling in traffic. That was a money rebound at the end.

And my goodness, Hunter was the dumb ars coach in the building tonight. Gant out game and he has his team play for the 3 and win instead of the tie. They were driving freely to the hoop all night, take the deuce and go OT. Maybe the crowd got in his head, don’t know, but he had the numbers in OT to win if he went that route.

No, actually he is not fine playing man defense on the parameter. Too many players just drive around him while he looks like he is standing in cement. But Coach Marlin doesn't like to play Zone, even if he has to expose Miller.

We overcame a 6:30 minute, 22-0 run and won. Not always productive but they did hustle. Where was this effort Wed night?

If that run had happened to start the game, I don't think they overcome. Fortunately they a measure of confidence from already showing they could produce against GSU.

Marlin's first comment is to call out the fans? Ok

First proof that Marlin's game is scripted.

After 3 straight double digit blowout losses, he never expected the fans that were there.

Got to watch most of the 2nd half on TV last night—Thank You to the PLAYERS for gutting out a nice win on National TV vs that POS Ron Hunter!! Crowd looked really into the game, and ESPN2 gave us good coverage, especially the announcers—I heard “Louisiana” so much that all of our other “friends” in the state and conference were probably having emotional breakdowns!! Amazing to watch Gant put forth such effort night after night, and hoping that this game is a sign of things to come from Wesley and Miller!
One game doesn’t make a season, but DAYUM, this one was SA—WEET!!

[Esqueleto]

It was a very fun atmosphere last night.

Those of you fans "boycotting" missed out on a gutsy performance by our boys, and Red Panda who wouldn't give up without nailing her grand finale.

Bring y'all asses to the next game.

Good win for the Cajuns on National TV. Gant was a beast! Hopefully the team can keep it going. Geaux Cajuns!
