The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball team returns to action on Thursday when it travels to Arlington, Texas to face Sun Belt Conference rival UT Arlington in the nightcap of a doubleheader at College Park Center.
This road trip is huge. We're 5-0 in conference but 4 of our wins are against the last 4 place teams in conference. These next two games will tell us a lot about our chances to win the regular season championship this year.
That's a fact. The next two contests are going to put the Cajuns to the test.
for real or fraud test coming up.. Bobby big fish gotta prevail
The way this team has been preparing for this test I think they will be ready!Quote:

Hope JaKeenan stays his consistent self (which only 1 other player in the nation can match!).
• JaKeenan Gant is one of two Division I players currently averaging 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and shooting over 60 percent from the floor joining Ajdin Peneva of Marshall.
Both games are on ESPN3.
Washington needs to bring the boss on the road.
This is excellent news. I would much rather watch than only listen on radio. Its just too sad that CST can let you catch any Grand Canyon U game you want but we just can't watch the cajuns.Quote:

Unrelated.. but I have a technical question.
For some reason my ESPN3 App on my Samsung television doens't play sound. Its been like this for years. I can play it on the Ipad fine.. but not on my TV. I can't figure out what the problem is. Netflix, Amazon Prime, all other aps are fine.. but not ESPN3.
Anyone have any ideas?
Has Saturday's game been confirmed for ESPN3. I thought it was just tonight's game.Quote:

That being said, I expect our guys to prepare well and play hard. You just never know when a bad shooting night will come and that can change any game. Make no mistake, UTA has lots of talent. They have had some chemistry issues on the road but they have blown several people out at home and their last game at Ark State was a blowout. I recall we struggled there. A win tonight would be impressive.Quote:

With both teams at the top of the standings and students back in school, it should be electric tonight.
I'm much happier it being on ESPN3 than having Len Rollins ULL is to death on Cox.Quote:

Would people quit talking about the travel? These guys are in college, they sleep on couches and eat Taco Bell they aren’t 60 years old. They were on a bus not a crawfish skiff. In fact being 6’6 I’d imagine being on a bus is more comfortable than a plane. I drive to Arlington all the time, it’s not that bad and you know they can pull over and stop right? If they lay an egg it’s bebause they laid an egg..not because of a damn 7 hour bus ride.
Long bus rides are no joke.
ANY road win is a good win. Cajuns can't start like they did Saturday.
And Arlington isn’t a long bus ride. Colorado is a long bus ride.Quote:

And we want to play in the AAC. LOL! Can't complain about any bus ride under 8 hours.Quote:
