Check this out: Cajuns are 5-30 FG in the first half. Thats 16.7%. And 3-15 from 3 pt land. Wow over half the cajuns shots are 3's. We only made 5 FG the first half. USM wasn't much better though. This is just pitiful.
Score is 29-17 USM

Halftime
USM aint playin much better. Another Great Coached game by Robert Lee. Man we came out firing.
At least the season is half way over. Only a few more months of the Robert Lee era remain.
who hoo up to 8 field goals so far
Not good...
We are 8-40 with 12 min to geaux. LOL. This is just pitiful. Robert Lee should be fired after this performance.
Geez Louise
Just got call from my Bro at game (he lives in Petal). He and his wife are two of three in red shirts. He wishes he wasn't there. Worse performance he has ever seen. He was here in 60s. Says a lot. USM bangs inside, makes shot or gets fouled. We shoot 3s, miss and don't bother about rebounds. They hit FTs, we can't. One sorry team. Gave my two next home game tickets away. Will have to see if I bother with rest. Interestingly, he commented on an/some ass't coach(es) and their demeaner at game. Wondering where the head coach is perhaps?? Guess they are the first to know. Why not make move now and try one of the ass't coaches. See what happens and then make final decision at end of season. Or just write this one off. At least we might be able to handle UNO; glad we aren't playing Nichols.
I am beginning to wonder if Coach Lee has done to basketball as Coach Baldwin did to football a while back. He has run this program from a once proud mid major that would make the NIT/NCAA year in and year out to an embarrassment.
I think this has been posted in every post. LEE CAN'T BE FIRED. WE WILL LOSE TOO MANY POINTS IN THE APR AND NOT REGAIN THE LOST SCHOLARSHIPS. However, I am sure he will not be retained at the end of the season. We will just have to suffer through the season.Quote:

There is no value in the stock so no one buys it. We are losing more and more fans daily. Why should fans care when the university exhibits no caring at all. People have better things to do, have better ways to spend their entertainment dollars, and have lost all caring for UL because UL gives them nothing to care about. What will it take for UL to get off of its a** and take some action, any action to restore UL athletics to some level of prominance and get its alumni and fans enthused about athletics again? If 12,000 for a football game and 1,500 for a basketball game aren't enough incentives to take action, then things just maybe hopeless.
Are you suggesting a coaching change be made prior to the season ending? I am not sure what that would accomplish when we have only played one conference game? Perhaps it would give some indications of coming changes to the fan base.Quote:

Just as the 64% vs Sam Houston was an anomaly, the 16% in the first half last night was also an anomaly. I suspect the norm will return and we will win a few more than some believe. I am not predicting a winning season or anything close to it. When it is over, I believe we will have a slightly better record than last season. I recognize for that to happen, Wallace and Gary may need to be healthy in order for us to improve rebounding which is a major shortcoming.Quote:

The Men's team is lost right now and in chaos. Things will only get worse. Name either Coach LeBato or Dixon as interim head coach for the remainder of this year and do a national search following the season.
Take action and show that UL is concerned about the direction and status of our programs. To sit idly by and watch this debacle worsen week after week is cancerous.
If this is true and the Hall's are available, I would offer the job today.Quote:

Not saying we could get him to come in at no salary for the rest of the year, but... Cincinnati bought him out, so he is still being paid by them right now.Quote:
