Final: Louisiana 75, Samford 58

It’s a sad day in Cajun land when one comes on this board an says they are pulling against athletes wearing Louisiana cross their chest. That’s just not right.

Let’s clarify…a former athlete pulling against a current coaching staff. Because this staff has become a detriment to the overall health of the basketball program.

It's bad when MBB is 5th on the importance chart at a university.

I was most impressed with how we consistently handled Furmans pressure when inbounding the ball. Don’t remember one oops. I know we prepared for it. It worked. Also liked hitting some pressure threes. At critical times.
Also impressed with our conditioning and depth. Furman pressured for 57 minutes. Our team last year would have lost to Furman. This was a good test for us. McNeese and the really big test await.

When did they play Furman? Was this a secret game that nobody knew about?

The current players don't think so. They play hard for each other and their coaches. Granted they don't always play well. Note there has been quite a turnover on the staff in recent months. The lead assistant is in his second year as is the strength and conditioning coach. Two other assistants are in their first year. There is also a new video coordinator. I don't know if this turnover is responsible for what appears to be improved play to date but the new guys do bring things from Alabama, Texas, and Texas Tech.

5th? GTFOH. Football, baseball, basketball. I count 3rd. Basketball has more season tickets and eyes than softball no matter what you think.

If one pulls for Bob Marlin (or any coach) to fail, their failure happens when the team fails.

Some will still try to polish the “it’s separate” turd.

Makes little to no sense to be pulling against the current team in the regular season. Dr. Maggard clearly established this past season that those few games in March are all that matters. 8th place finish in a 1 bid 16 seed league. I could see it if there was a standard to be met, and one terrible season could get us out of purgatory. There are zero standards with this program. Schedule a bunch of non D1s. Decimate them. Tweet out some "Believe the Hype" nonsense. Boost the winning percentage. When it's still not what it should be, just lie about it.

Two choices: stay home or show up for Louisiana. I'm doing the latter...with less and less enthusiasm every year. Our athletic department doesn't seem to care. Not sure why I should at this point. Have to continuously remind myself that the university is bigger than any one player, coach, or administrator. They'll all be gone eventually.

Agreed. No one is bigger than the program.

Football, baseball, softball, and volleyball are out drawing MBB. Less than a 1000 folks at a MBB D1 game is weak. No way to sugar coat this.
