Cajuns vs Red Wolves

[SlappyCajun]

We gave up 45 second half points had at least 10 second half turnovers. And Kadeem Coleby does not get one defensive rebound.

The box score looks weird.

This team still needs more talent. I'm confident that he's the guy to bring us back, but it isn't going to happen quick enough for most of our liking. The way last years team put it together had me hoping that it was the start of something big. We're still a couple of players away, in my humble opinion.

...but if we can't stop the other guys from scoring more, we still lose.

Check that....Offense was order of the am!....unfortunately, not also the pm!
I really didn't expect to them to keep up a 60% pace, but I thought they would shoot well enough in the second half to win the game. They shared the ball in the first half...6 assists.
Disappointing loss...thought this one was one they could have had...more so than the MTSU game.

Kadeem Coleby is a good player. But I think he may be allergic to rebounding.

If we would have won the USA game this game wouldn't be so important, but we have to make up a home loss on the road somewhere.

He was a strong rebounder in junior college. I think he's still adjusting to playing at a higher level when it comes to rebounding. He'll get the ones in his area but won't go get them. That's a shame because he's actually a quality defender most nights. Just too much inconsistency.

Agree. He did not have a single defensive rebound tnight.

Just too much inconsistency.

Pretty much defines this team. Look at players in UALR and ASU game and only one seems to hold steady. Strange. TOs in 2nd half sad, and at key times. And missed layups!! What's with that? Been bad most of the year.

This reminds me of the football team in 2010 falling apart in the second half. Could it be a conditioning problem?!? Just asking

any road split is good, take this as positve, we lost by 5 on the road, IMO means we can beat them at home and probably on neutral site... The CONF tourney will be a crap shoot, whoever can put 3 or 4 win streak together will go dancing...

I agree. I assume if I was watching this game I'd feel slightly different with the huge breakdown in the second half but splitting on the road is not bad
