MBB Final: Louisiana 81, Arkansas State 75

Having only 8 players available is risky. There maybe a game in which four guys foul out and you have to finish with 4 or burn a redshirt on someone. Hopefully Fields recovers from his illness before Sunday’s game and the foul issue will be less of a risk. Big difference with 9 available vs 8. Until the last couple of minutes, Charles and Kitenge did a good job of playing with 3 to 4 fouls. For 34 minutes the Cajuns played well. Last 6 minutes were a struggle. I give credit to the Red Wolves for fighting hard the entire game. I wonder if fatigue was a factor for Cajuns late in game as a couple of other guys played despite feeling under the weather. Strong mental toughness shown by Cajuns by knocking down critical free throws at game end. I did not realize spread was 5.5. There were some calling for Julien to purposely miss the 2nd of 2 free throws with 2 seconds left. Cajun gamblers who gave the points are happy he didn’t as final margin was 6.

Very True.

Beer will always be affordable otherwise the experience will just not be the experience.

People still go to the movies, right.

Vegas also hit the over/under number of 156 total points exactly. Crazy.

Vegas does not need to be good. They just need the perception of good for there to be equal book on both sides. Over the years, they have mastered that perception.
