MBB Final: Louisiana 80, App State 90

[zephyr]

After studying the team over the last few games, I am convinced that they will make a deep run in the sunbelt tourney; get an NCAA bid, and have a first round upset before falling to the eventual national champion. OK, maybe not but can't a man dream! As Jim Belushi said, we are Americans and Americans don't quit. As he said, we didn't quit after the german's bombed pearl harbor and we are not going to quit now. Seriously, while disappointed in the season, I must say the kids never quit. They played hard against Ap St, could have folded but didn't. A bunch of players gave it their all, including the kid, Christian Lafayette. Gant is one of the best players we have ever had. Hated to see him foul out on his last home game. What frustrates me is that Ap St was clearly the better equipped team and that should not be. What also frustrates me is that other teams come to the dome and shoot lights out and we can't seem to make anything but 2 out of 5 lay-ups. The only thing I know for sure is that I will renew my season tickets; supported the cajun basketball all my life. Too old to turn back now.

I think all of us will support the program, just maybe not with our wallets.

Good evaluation. And it was John Belushi BTW.

The APC?

You can pretty much apply that across the board. Completed it, football and baseball for sure. Basketball had an anomaly year last year.

What other kind of support is there? Speaking for our AD friend.

Well, I guess I need to specify with you here Vic. There are different types of support. It doesn't have to be financial support.

So, we are what now? 17-12 (8-8 in conference)?

If we can’t at least reach 20 wins by season’s end with this lackluster schedule and terrible conference that we are in, then we have problems. But who am I kidding? I’m just entitled and ask for too much lol.

To help out those who didn't live the life.

Bluto: What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...

It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on!...
