Change that "we" to Lee. He took them out of a good rhythm, and they took to standing around playing "footsie" waiting for a last shot before the shot clock expired.Quote:

Cajuns are going to have to stop having those 6-8 min runs where we do not move on offense, do not drive to the basket, only shoot from the outside. On D-Fense we seem to loose our intensity also for the same time frame.Quote:

Andrew Toney's jersey went for $1,500 and Bo Lamar called Andrew after the final bid and gave the phone to the guy who won the jersey and talked to him. It was really cool. Glad to see the Basketball team doing the auction thing.
I too must agree with you on McCoy. Played nearly 30 minutes tonight and he had NO turnovers. Daigle is out for now with a broken hand and is sorely needed, and Lago still has to cut down on turn overs(settle down Willie just settle down and let the game come to you)!!Quote:

Andrew's jerseys went for $600 and $1500. Lamars got $1200, $1200 then the winner donated the jersey back to put up for auction and it got another $1200. The Current players jerseys that they wore for the McNeese game went for about $200 or $300. All of the money goes to the UL Basketball program. So overall a very lucrative night for the Cajun Basketball program.Quote:

After we got a 17 point lead with 11 minutes to go, we had the ball in possession 17 times.
The shot clock got below ten four times and below five on three occasions.
On two of the four possessions we got to the free throw line.
On two of those possessions, McNeese had gone to a zone which makes it harder to get a shot early.
I'll respectfully disagree with you on this one.
No harm done in disagreeing with me, respectfully or not. My observation may not coincide with the written play by play, but I still feel that the "slowdown" was called from the bench. Just my opinion, which at times isn't worth two cents.Quote:
