They are playing much better so far today. Get used to the inconsistency

Yeah. I see us playing down to our opponents all season. When we play a big school or in a big game, we will play well. When we play a school we should crush, we look like crap.

Payton just schoolyard in bounds of the oponents back and picks it up and scores

Long is now just throwing up a bunch of shots that arent falling. Needs to clam down. Cajuns down 27-32 with 1 min left in the first half

Taking some unnecessary bad shots. Hanging tough though.

Good athleticism. Poor shot selection. I like what I see for our future though.

At half, Cajuns trail 27-33. Cajuns are hanging in there

Wish we could make free throws

Payton just had a nice steal and bucket on the fast break. Now down by 5. 36-41.

Cajuns playing some scrappy basketball. Down by only 5 with about 13:00 to go. And yeah, it would be nice if we could shoot free throws better.

Announcers are calling us Louisiana, fwiw.

down by 4 with 1:42 left.

Cajuns coming back!

down 2 with 56 seconds left!!

So dumb for Long to jack up that shot

Cajuns had a chance to tie it but Long missed his shot inside. rebounded by MSU and we fouled with 6 sec left. They made the first of their 1 and 1. MSU up by 3 and shooting one more FT.

Yep. He's been doing it all game too.

Damn

They missed their second FT. We get rebound with no TOs take it down the court, jack up a 3 and miss. game over

That's what happens when you rely on Freshman at the end of the game.

Man we play some good defense. How many fast breaks did we blow? How many free throws did we miss. We should have won this one.

Fun game to watch. Great defensive effort

Love the fight. They could have given up when down by ten but they fought back and had the chance to send it to OT. Damn free throws

Unless those Freshman go to Kentucky. Good effort today.

This team has potential.
