UL vs TAMCC

[Turbine]

It would be hard to put stats on paper because posts like this artificially inflate the count after the fact, but you don't even need to click on a game thread to see if we are winning or losing. <50 posts, win for the good guys. 20 pages, we lost and have the worst coaches/players/admin on the planet. Whatever the flavor of the week is.

So true.

Satisfaction is savored, dissatisfaction is spewed.

I think post count is more closely related to road vs home. Road game = more posts. Popular opinion to the contrary, most of the most disgruntled fans are at every home game; ergo, not posting.

In the case of last night's game, many people were at baseball or softball games, as well.

All I am asking is that if Marlin is not great at coaching players how to shoot that he hires someone to help in that area. Just as many have stated he needs to hire someone to help with recruiting.

So, we have a basketball coach that needs help recruiting and coaching players how to shoot jump shots.....

You going to play the didn't play/coach can't comment card? So what level did you play at, sir? Because I made it wayyy past getting schooled by Coach Broadhead's all girls teams in CSA!

You like the way the Cajuns have shot jump shots and 3 pointers this season?

I remember hearing a Cajun assistant coach nearly hollering on the radio when he was asked why his team continues to jack it up when they have proven that they can't hit the broad side of a barn. When someone reacts in that fashion it shows that they know they are in the wrong.

Register was a very good 3 point shooter coming out of Comeaux. Would you say that he has progressed as a shooter under Marlin?

So what about last night? The team hit 11 3 pointers while shooting 46%. I guess we shouldn't have shot so many since we have proven we CAN'T shoot it from the perimeter right?

Why are people are still chiming in about this team/sport/coach? Don't you know the season is over!?!?

NO!

So true.

There are fans that openly show dissatisfaction with athletic outcomes (early or late) on this forum. They are closely rivaled by other fans that show dissatisfaction with the fans that openly criticize. I see nothing but the pot calling the kettle black. I like pots and kettles.

Once they got the lead, it looked like the pressure was off and they just started playing loose like they would in practice. I think that our shooters just tighten up under pressure and in close games and can't hit shots.

Or possibly the Cajundome installed bigger rims on the goals last night! LOL!!!!

Shepherd, Wright, and Wronkowski all started making threes after making their first basket inside. Often times you only need to see the ball go in to get you going. Virtually all of the perimeter shots taken were nice clean looks. Good jobs by the big guys in making nice passes from the in and out half court game. Also, good job by all in looking up court for open guys in the transition game. I personally did not think our opponent was as poor as some thing. No way you win 25 games and play Wisconsin to the wire without some talent. Having their best player in foul trouble and eventually foul out hampered them. They simply caught us on a night when our outside shots were falling. When that happens, we can be formidable. Unfortunately, we were very inconsistent in that regard this season. As far as a shooting coach goes, last year we led our league in three point shooting. This year we were last. Same guys generally firing them up in both years. That is something I cannot explain. My only guess is that it became mental after a couple of rough outings. Maybe that is behind them here at the end. Kasey Shepherd is playing at a high level now. Recall he got us back in the game in the second half against Little Rock.

I thought the same thing, but have been following that aspect for a while now. Doesn't seem to be the case. I'm not saying it should be even but losses have tended to yield as many pages as wins have posts total. Just an observation.

A lot of things went right last night. Our ball movement was hugely better than I have seen it in any game this year, as was our floor spacing and movement away from the ball. This opened up driving lanes into the paint, and Wright, Stove and Shepherd did a good job of exploiting that, both in scoring and in dishing the ball to Long and Washington in the block.

Most of the three point shots were uncontested and our shooters were well squared to the goal; again, a product of better passing and ball movement creating defensive gaps. 44 points in the paint and Long and Washington being a combined 11 for 16 from the floor also contributed to the 3 being open.

I notice the same. When there are specific points in time that contribute to a loss, posts go up.
