If you were planning on catching the men’s game on ESPN+ just know that the women’s game is on there as well. Women are about to double up TAMU Kingsville.

Yeah I know. I would watch it but I don't have ESPN+ anymore, unfortunately. I've talked to my parents about getting it again, but they don't want it (they're not diehard Cajuns fans like me). Appreciate you letting me know though.

That starting lineup suggested by Cajuns80 is as good a guess as any. With Kobe out, not sure who replaces him in the starting lineup. It may be Jalen Dalcourt as he has shot the ball well in pre season camp. When everyone is available, he could move to the role of providing perimeter shooting off the bench, similar to what Devin Butts did a year ago. Dou Gueye could be a starter as well since he started at Alabama. However as Coach said this morning, having three bigs on the floor makes it hard to guard out on the perimeter. Dou can do that for short periods. However his best feature is getting rebounds and that is tough to do from the perimeter at times. Durey Cadwell has not played as much as I expected he would in the two scrimmage games. After not playing in two years, he may be having a tough time being mentally ready for competition. When he does play, he could be asked to deal with a hot offensive player. I do expect some sloppy play early due to all the guys who will get an opportunity. Coach said this morning one goal is to get the rotation down to 9 players by the time conference play starts. Lots of guys will get opportunities prior to then. Hopefully Kobe is well enough to play by Friday night at USM. That will be a conference type game.

That’s true we were shooting wide open shots. Still would rather see then drive for a short jumper but they see the NBA shoot threes like crazy. And it’s hard to get them to understand the higher percentage shot when they’re beating the snot out of teams.

The teams unable to get those open 12’ shots. Our inside game is mostly rebounding and put back. Our outside game doesn’t have enough movement for many open shots or inside feeds. Bobby wants to out athlete the opponents. When he’s can’t it’s a push.

Maybe things change this year because it’s the deepest team in years.

WBB team wins by 30. Lets do it again! GEAUX CAJUNS .~. .~.

Found something funny checking out the websites. West Florida has this listed as an exhibition for them while we have it listed as a regular season game.

That’s pretty common for non div I schools. Bobby never misses an opportunity for a cheap win. Don’t know why the games can be counted differently by the opponents.

No problem. I did the $13.99 bundle with ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+. It’s a pretty good deal considering how much content is available on the three platforms. Those, along with Netflix, are the only services I pay for, no cable bill. So I get by pretty cheap! Just convince your parents to cut the cord, problem solved!

I want to do what you did. That is an incredible deal.

I'm almost there, but paying individually without ESPN+

Trying to figure out if I should cancel first, use a different email and what not.

Yes he is here, Best AD around!!!

We should have a winning record and try and make a playoff run. Be a lot better if I could recruit my own kids, but for now I guess Feeder school programs will have to work!!!

You need to get in those junior high schools and get the coaches on the same page with you.

Brad, listen to JMV, he will tell you how to do your job.
