LAFAYETTE — There were two similar plays from the Arkansas State game that stood out to Louisiana-Lafayette men’s basketball coach Bob Marlin, mainly because of their unfortunately familiar results.
In a span of three possessions, the Cajuns set themselves up for two great looks for shooters they trust to knock down 3-point shots. Both Jay Wright and Kasey Shepherd missed. Arkansas State tied the game up on the next possession each time, and the Red Wolves completed a rally from a 13-point deficit to pull out a 71-69 win.
Marlin isn’t so sure Arkansas State would have been able to complete the comeback if the Cajuns could have just gotten one of those 3-pointers to fall.
