I think Elfrid just had to make that win happen - huge game by that kid!

If the Cajuns can continue to play defense like tonight, they have a great chance to win. Let's hope it continues on the road. It was a better crowd than I would have expected after the last two home performances. Kudos to the crowd. And, nice touch by the choir singing the National Anthem!
Go Cajuns!

Yea but 90% of that choir left after they sang. So I'm not going to give them too much credit.

His first half performance single-handily won this game IMO.

On the negative side, that air-balled free throw was brutal.

Completely agree.

Yep. EP is definitely not NBA material.

Does not stand for Next On Train ?

I don't know the jury is still out. He can't shoot free throws but is one heck of a defensive player and was only 13 of 14 shooting tonight. The thing that impressed me was he put the team on his back and delivered. I also like his ability to go to the hole and he played down low a lot. I hope he's back next year but we have to finish the March this year.

I think it and many more similar to it(free throws missed) will keep him at UL next season. Believe me in a selfish way I hope Payton chooses to stay and develop a little more meat on his frame, some outside shooting, and better his Free Throw shooting to around 80%. Needs to work with Davenport!

UL also held Monroe to 50 points in 10 less minutes than in Monroe where UL gave up 103 points! Geaux Big Defense!!!

OK--I am ready to say that EP is the most exciting player I have ever seen in a UL uniform----When he came off the dribble with one hand, faked the dunk, and softed it off the glass i was amazed Please Douglas of somebody put together a 5 minute "SLASHER" video on the guy!!!! oh and yes what a free safety he could have been!!! Call the best FT teacher in the world and get him down here---it has now become just a mental thing on the FTs especially the air ball!!!

EP is awesome. Still not up to Andrew Toney yet, though...IMHO.

That's an awfully high standard, Red. We're talking about a player that's on Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson's top 5 list of best players they played against. That's one high standard.
