I believe 2008 will see an improvement similar to what occured in 1996. The difference between 2008 and what occured in 1996 is that we will bring in additional talent in 2008. Recall we have a transfer, an early signee, and four guys sitting out to earn eligibility already lined up for next year. Mouton will be our only significant loss.Quote:

THEN we would be able to consistently put up an average of 33.2 points per game. :ms08: :ms08: :ms08: :ms08:Quote:

The other thing that I told her was that I don't think that we ran one offensive play last night in which more than 3 people were moving. 3 people moving was the most I ever saw! How are you going to create open looks when no one is moving? USA constantly had open shots because they always had 4 and 5 guys moving at once. If Mouton wouldn't have been on fire last night, we would have lost by 30! I know what Lee can do when he has talent. I saw what we did against Louisville. I'know we don't have that level of talent this year, but we should still have more wins. It's almost as if our team gets tired running up and down court and they think that when they are on offense its their chance to take a breather. No!! You have to move to score!! Adam James is a senior, so he's about as developed as he's going to get. He's not going to turn the corner over night and he hasn't showed me much in the last 3 years. We're mid way through the season, it's time to play the players that will help you win, it's too late keep hoping players like James will have a breakout game.Quote:

If we feel we have to keep a big man in the game at all times then let Valentino play as much as possible, he's more athletic (jumps higher, and can move faster than James), he blocks shots, he actually holds on to rebounds!, and he contributes more points than James. The other thing I've noticed is that Val commits good fouls. He fouls when he has to unlike James. I think you've got to go with the guys that give you the best chance to win. You can't keep getting leads then taking those guys out and losing the lead.
I'm not ready to scream for Lee's head yet. But I need to see some better effort from the players, and some better play calling and more importantly, better execution of the plays called. This team needs some voluntary (mandatory) workouts and endurance conditioning.
Talk about a great game. Durant for Texas is amazing hard to believe he is only a freshman.Quote:

Something has to give tonight.
UL's men's basketball team hasn't won on the road this season, taking a string of 10 straight losses into today's 7 p.m. Sun Belt Conference battle at Middle Tennessee.
MT's Blue Raiders haven't won a league game at home, losing at the Murphy Center to UL Monroe, Western Kentucky, Troy and Arkansas State.
One of those streaks will end, and UL coach Robert Lee is hoping beyond hope that it's his team that finally breaks through.
"Any win gives you confidence," Lee said, "but we really need to win one away from home. We've had a couple of chances and let them get away."

UL (5-16, 3-8 Sun Belt) missed a tying shot at the buzzer Tuesday night in a 75-72 loss at Florida Atlantic, extending the road streak to 10 games since the start of this season. Prior to that, the Cajuns lost an 82-72 decision at Western Kentucky that was closer than that in the final two minutes, and had a David Dees 40-foot basket disallowed on video replay in a Jan. 11 loss at North Texas.
In fact, the last time the Cajuns won on a foreign floor came at Middle's Murphy Center, when Ross Mouton nailed a three-pointer with 0.8 seconds left to give UL a 62-59 overtime win over Troy in the quarterfinals of last year's Sun Belt Tournament.
UL lost the next night 80-72 to Western Kentucky in the semifinals, so it's actually been 11 games since the Cajuns won away from the Cajundome.
Middle could give the Cajuns some lessons on becoming road warriors. The Blue Raiders (9-11, 5-5 Sun Belt) had won a school-record six straight road contests against league opponents before falling 66-53 at North Texas on Thursday.
"We knew it had to end at some point," MT coach and former LSU assistant Kermit Davis said Friday. "But you would like for it to end when you have played well and the other team just beat you."
MT made only 19-of-51 shots against the Mean Green (37 percent) and had 11 of its 15 turnovers in the first half in falling behind by double figures. Senior forward Tim Blue came off the bench to score 16 points to lead the Raiders.
The Cajuns welcomed back David Dees against FAU, after a one-game absence with an ankle injury, and he made an immediate impact with a 30-point outing and a 9-of-14 shooting night against the Owls. Ross Mouton added 18 points and had the only three-pointer for a team that went 1-for-15 outside the arc.
"We took a lot of rushed shots," Lee said, "and defensively, we didn't have the overall intensity you need to compete on the road, especially at the beginning of the game."

This is bad, very bad!!!
I will be the first to say it!!!
Coach Lee is done.
How could he let Cajun Basketball get to this low!!!
I was just talking to my friend and he said remember when we could talk trash about our basketball team and how they go to the NCAA's or postseason every other year. Well we have nothing to talk about. The stands are empty, we have lost our tradition.
ULM's first year in the Belt and they are first in the west, which we usually dominant year in and year out.
This is bad very bad!!!
Time to start looking for a new coach.
Look guys I am a cajun fan until I die, But this coach is just not working out.
