Colorado State was a good matchup for us. We had the significant athletic advantage. Kudos for making the most of it by the coaching staff and players.
Glad Tulane won and want to face them in two days !!!

May be our only chance to play the Wave for a while as there doesn't appear to be anything in the works for a home & home. When was the last time we played them in basketball?Quote:

Opponent?
Tomorrow at6:30pm vs Toledo/FGCU winner, probably Toledo.
Yes, looking like Toledo. They're up 73-50 with 7:36 to play in the game.Quote:

Last time we played Tulane was in December of 2010 which was Coach Marlin's first year. We lost to them in New Orleans. Year before we lost to them in Lafayette after having a lead in the second half. That was Coach Lee's last year in Lafayette. They signed the home and home in Coach Lee's tenure. I imagine they felt our program was in a decline at that point so they felt safe signing the deal. They have not had any interest in renewing the series regardless of their coach since Coach Marlin has been here. Both Louisiana schools have tough games tomorrow so no guarantee Cajuns and Wave match up here.Quote:

Colorado State Rams were 3 and 0 prior to today so it was a good win. Tomorrow will be a challenge as Toledo was in the NCAA tournament a year ago. The MAC is also in the basketball portion of the country so the sport means something there.Quote:

All men's games will be on HOT. Only a dozen or so will be on 1420.
And, HOT is 100,000 watts and you can get it well past Baton Rouge going east and to LC going west.
Vegas has the Cajuns as a 2 1/2 point favorite tonight and honestly, I don't see it. Toledo is VERY good. They shoot lights out (.429 from 3, 81% FT, .495 overall) and are big and can rebound.
I personally view us as an underdog in this game.
Boomer has trouble catching 107.9 clearly because he lives at the foot of the 105.1 tower. For some reason 105.1 interfers.Quote:

Last year was really good in those aspects. Frank Bartley made a living with his cutting to the basket and getting to the rim as a result.Quote:

It is simply "With Great Challenge comes Great Opportunity".Quote:

Final CSU 82 - 74 over Florida Gulf Coast.
In spite of my critique of the Big Fish, Cajuns are always expected to win by me. Cajuns outdo these Yankee snowbirdsQuote:

Would be a nice victory. Just warning people it will not be easy. How we respond at crunch time if the game is tight will be interesting to follow. How mentally tough are the Cajuns is a question we are waiting to find out. That determines how successful you are.Quote:

On the SBC board a Toledo fan gave an analysis of their team as well. It pretty much agrees with this, but he is concerned because he feels their defense is soft and/or lacking in toughness.Quote:
