Louisiana vs Troy

[basinbear]

We are not a very good team....but the least we should expect is a well officiated game...

[mahtoo]

For you old timers like me.....this was Mike Taanko/Mac Chauvin bad tonight.....

Chauvin? That name brings back bad memories.

[ZoomZoom]

Chauvin...it's bad when you know the ref's name.

Visual for younger fans...think white dude with hair that looked like a Lego man.

Coach, don't bother calling the conference. If was a close game, but it really wasn't. I understand fighting for your players but not in this case. It's been "look in the mirror time" for the whole team weeks ago.

We were picked to finish 7th, which seems generous tonight.

Come on man, 40 FT to 15 for the good guys.....40-50 and 15-20 at the line. There is a major discrepancy here.

No defense.
No win.
One would think 88 points would be enough to win a game! Some wondered how we would replace Shawn Long's offense this year. The real problem was we don't have a way to replace his presence in the paint and his defense. Teams appear to have more energy than us and we are to slow on defense and too late to re-act and/or adjust. Marlin loves to play a man-to-man defense. Maybe we need to play more zone.

Is it just me or do we look tired on defense? Seems like everyone we play has the first step on us. Idk maybe the uptempo style is running the guys ragged and they don't have the energy reserves to play hard on the defensive end. Just thinking...

Blame the APC

IMO the team is cheating left or right and the other team simply outquicks them to the side we're giving them. Happened last year too except Long was there to fix things. That's why he got in foul trouble so often, trying to fix another players defensive shortcomings.

BINGO!!!

Yes there was a few bad calls last night...both ways. CE is right, speed kills. We're in a guard league where we've been slower and/or shorter in most games. In the real ugly losses, always a big guard or small forward on Jay.

Can coach all day, but can't coach speed or height.

----I have to say however that our kids are really putting forth the effort---Wright and Handy diving for balls--Stove and Bartly bring it along with Brown and Bryce and Miller do well on the boards----but HOW MANY TIMES do we penetrate and miss layups (sometimes getting to the FT line and missing )--how many times do we charge--how many times do we get stuffed??? See everybody at the Lakefront--we are playing there --correct???
