Troy will attempt to straighten the ship tonight against Louisiana. The Ragin’ Cajuns (13-11, 7-3) come into the matchup fresh off a 72-71 overtime win over Denver. “They have a good team,” head coach Don Maestri said. “I think that’s ...

"Troy’s 12.7 turnovers per game ranks second best in the league. The team’s plus +2.33 turnover margin is best in the Sun Belt and Troy is one of just four conference teams with more assists than turnovers."

That last stat causes great concern. They have the best turnover margin in the Sun Belt and we lead the league in turnovers!
Something has to give. I hope they don't come out and press us too much. If they do, I hope we handle it better than we have in recent home games. Otherwise, well, lest just say it could make for a long night. If we can keep our turnovers to a minimum I think we can win this game. We should win the rebound battle and with enough second chance attempts and points that should get us a win.
Good luck Cajuns!
It sure will be nice to play for 1st place next Thursday!

What a weird game.
We turn over the ball 23 times!
And Mbamalu scores 27 points!
No need to worry!
Cajuns win!
