Geaux Cajuns!
I got a feeling
Would continue what’s shaping up to be a pretty good UL sports weekend. Counting the Thursday basketball games.
It’s a long shot. 17.5% chance, 7.5 road dog, 144.5 O/U, which translates UL scoring in the 60s for the under.

Would be nice, threes have to rain like crazy for the good guys.
WBB, ESPN has no odds, but they do have an AI driven article.
App blocks a bunch of shots per game, 3's better fall for UL...time to play some string music in the mountains...
Or attack the rim and get those guys in foul trouble.Quote:

Look, App has a better overall team than the Cajuns. That does not mean the Cajuns can't win. They will have to play at a high level to do so of course.Quote:

Great to see some nice production from the bench, in particular Fields.
Fun first half. 39-37 Cajuns at half. Fields with 13
Guys came to play today. Cajuns up 2 at half. App gets a prayer answered or it would have been a 5 point lead at the half.
What a great game so far. App can ball. They’ve hit some stupid shots.
They have tremendous guard play. Big and physical as well. And yes they have hit some very tough shots.Quote:

HK having his way...that's a real post player...
And I jinxed him...
Marlin with the usual 2nd half timeout after we score, only 1 left in a tight game.Quote:

Good. Jay said he only had 1 left.Quote:

Hope that's right. BTW, with 7:30 left in the game, a total of 7 fouls have been called on App in the entire game???Quote:

And a question to coach Marlin but your biggest boost off the bench (Fields) has 13 points at half and is clearly in a rhythm and you don't play him in the second half? Or barely if you do? That's not reading the game and your personnel very well.
BOB MARLIN IS A ____ING MORON
Fields was very hot and hardly plays in the 2nd half. We were up by 9 and now down by 9. Bobby ball again.Quote:
