Not arguing that, just think his job is easier than other UL coaches.Quote:

Sorry to derail this thread. Nice win for the Cajuns! This should help recruiting instate talent.
Cannot hurt. We've still got UNeaux, SLU, LATURD, Brokebacks among others to beat.
Down the road it should. As far as this year goes, we already beat Tulane on the state top's player. Malik Wilson was recruited by Tulane.Quote:

Toledo leads the Anteaters 67 - 60 with 9 seconds to go.

You have to do a whole bunch of things well when you shoot in the 30's. All of them are effort and focus plays. You have to minimize turnovers, play great defense, go to the glass hard, and make your free throws. We only had 7 turnovers which is excellent for a 40 minute game. We held Tulane to a percentage in the 30's as well, only allowed 27 second half points and forced 15 turnovers. We outrebounded a much bigger team and we shot just under 80 percent from the line. Still, you can't expect to win many games the way we have shot the ball recently. We have to find someone who can consistently knock down some perimeter shots. I keep hoping that will be Russell but he has yet to find his stroke although he hit two crucial ones today. He did have an injury over the summer which required surgery so maybe he has not fully recovered there. Going forward, it would not surprise me if we started shooting the ball a little better. Sometimes when you prove to yourself you can win without shooting well a few more drop in. Finally, this is the first time in my life I recall beating Tulane in basketball. That makes it a good day regardless of how much we struggled shooting the ball. Props to the guys one more time for finding a way to pull out a gritty win.Quote:
