I'll be there as well. I have heard commercials all week long for for the game on 96.5 as I'm driving to work (@ the ungodly hour of 6:30 AM). The commercials stated that it is Kids' Night. Kids get in free tonight (2 kids per paying adult).

cajuns win 76-68

That was scary! Down by 3 late in the game to Ouachita Baptist! Ouch! At least they didn't panic and lose the game. LOTS of turn-overs and missed free throws. The good news is this young team will improve dramatically as the season progresses. The bad news is we start hitting a seriously tough slate of opponents, starting with Ole Miss next. It will definitely get ugly before it starts to get better. I just hope they aren't too scarred from the beatings to make the kind of progress that I think they can make this season. Best of luck to Coach Lee and the team this season!

31 Turnovers! As coach Lee said about the next game, "the game will be over at the 10 minute mark if the guards don't improve"

You said it. Coach Lee has his work cut out for him, for sure.

A wise person said to me last night that Mouton and Dees will have to realize that they are the leaders and will have to carry this team to some extent. After thinking on it, I have to agree. Ross was able to create some shots for himself last night, and as the night wore on, Dees really got into all aspects of the game.

And this team is all over the place. They hit on all cylinders then tank out. That includes free throws. In the first half, we couldn't miss one. In the second half, we couldn't buy one until the very end when we needed them most. It's crazy to watch. Watching them last night, I felt that the faster the tempo was, the better they played. Being so young, I think it's a matter of not giving them too much time to think! lol To me when they "just play" and draw on their natural athletic ability, the offense seems to work much better. But goodness knows I ain't no coach, so I'll leave it up to Lee to get the best out of this young team.

My player of the game last night- Tyren Johnson. Played well, hustled ALL the way on both ends of the court (plus he dunked it, gotta love that ). My favorite player of the season so far- Willie Lago. I have no reason for this choice other than I love his name- "Lago my Eggo!"- and he's like a spastic bunny out there with his dreads flying everywhere. He's not doing much right yet, but I love to watch him.

Until I can make a game, I am going to keep an eye out for your postgame color commentary. I like the "Lago my Eggo". I think we are going to need some upbeat views this season as Coach Lee formulates a team. I want to win every time, but I am patient enough to support Coach Lee as he creates "his" program. Off to Lafayette for the UL/NT game.
