Is Marlin the guy for the program?

Anyone know how our attendance has been from 2010 to 2023? Pretty stagnant?

This year was 3170 per game, that ranked 5th of 14 teams in the SBC. I don't know what previous years were.

I will agree with the statement comparing them to Wright, Stove, Barkley or Stroman, but those were some special players you are comparing them to. That said as a spot up shooter Garnett is really good.

Richard will never be a starter on this team, but I like him for 5-10 minutes a game as a backup big man. He needs a ton of work and is very raw, but he does clog the middle and gets some rebounds.

Yes, they were special but they could affect the game in a number of ways while Thomas and Garnett cannot. A set shooter has its usefulness off the bench.

When is the dead line for JB to decide if he will stay one more year at UL or declare for draft?

I think he's staying...NBA scouts will advise it, and he could see his value increase after another full year on the court. Remember his first 2 years, he was a reserve if I'm not mistaken...And, he's such a competitor...you know not getting the SBC MVP chapped his azz, and the fact that UL didn't win the regular season is probably rubbing him wrong as well. Guys like this take this stuff personal...I think he wants to leave his time here as an all time great, and better than his dad...

Scott Cross, considered a good coach. Has a career winning record. TWELVE years at UTA, won the conference tournament in his second year, NIT appearance twice, finishing first in the regular season but couldn’t seal the tournament deal.

Four years at Troy, finishing 4th, 5th, 6th and 11th, average finish 6.5 at Troy.

16 years, 1 NCAA, 2 NITs. .560 career winning %.

Just sayin’

AFA JB, discussion during the game was he has to be able to play facing the basket at the next level. That’s a reason to return.

Unfortunately, the NBA doesn't value older prospects. They prefer prospects that are younger and projectable by age 25. He has nothing to gain by returning and would be better off in the NBA Developmental League. If he is a free agent prospect, then it won't make much of a difference if he returns. His evaluation will help him make a decision.

However, reading the rest of your post it sounds as though there should be a lot of enthusiasm for the future of Cajuns basketball. When will Marley begin this sales process to the people who buy tickets? You are the most positively positive optimist the UL fan base has. However, I would appreciate this coach selling his team as if he buys them himself & him be willing to take accountability if these guys underperform. And schedule someone decent for the love of Molly would you please?

Schedule calls for a MAC team to come here. We will likely have to buy 3 D1 games to meet conference requirement. Don’t know who those will be. This past season support in Dome was better than expected mostly due to team themselves drumming up support from student body. I did give reasons to be optimistic in previous post. Here is cause for concern. Kobe Julien could be main guy and who knows if he will stay healthy. Also, I don’t expect any key guys to leave but in the portal and transfer era you never know. That goes to my point I don’t automatically assume success nor failure. That is why I suggest you as well don’t automatically assume we can’t have a successful year

According to article they actually have 8 total, but all 5 starters off of a very good basketball team this year. That hurts, many of those 8 could end up at APU where the coach will be heading next year.

I watched a few of Nw State's games this year, they were a good team.

They beat southern miss.

Also, everyone I spoke to who attended a game this season enjoyed it. Many people did say the reason they did not go to more has nothing to do with staff. It was mostly about cost due to excessive ticket master fees and Dome concessions cost. That situation is definitely impacting support and I hope those contracts can be renegotiated soon

Buy season tickets, no Ticket Master fees. Have a couple of drinks at home, or your favorite tavern beforehand.
