For those that are local and can go to every game, what should we expect from this years team? The game I saw on TV, I saw a Cajun team a bit short on talent but they had grit and heart. How far do you guys think we can go?

I'll bite, these could go to the semi's of the tourney depending on matchups in the conference tourney. With the early valley I see the only of getting to the dance is getting good draws in the Conference Tourney and then outplaying the hell out of Western in the finals.Originally Posted by RCAJUN90
Of course come March I may look very smart or then again, How do you like my skirt. Needless to say this team has shown signs of playing with some big boys. I am hoping that Milsap and Gray can come and offer the help we need somewhat. If Hart continues playing the way he can. Ross get's hot at the right time we will be alright. Adam James needs to smart up on the court, I have been dissappointed about him thus far because he is better than he has been playing lately. D. Dees is impressive but I notice against Tech he had a Dwayne Mitchell sleeve on hopefully this is not going to become a problem as the season progresses. I have said this is another post, I have never been more proud of a Ragin Cajun Basketball team even in a 1-3 Home Stand. I thought we beat Cal State, Tenn was good against us. They had our offense defended, the press. Nevada I really thought we played them that will be a game in the end that could get them a better seed.
I feel that Saturday night at SFA is going to be a big game to judge how we are going to be. I can't make the SFA trip but entrust Jay to handle things for me. I am going to try like hell to go to UNO.

You nailed it on the grit and heart. Before the season began, I didn't think this team had a snowball's chance in hell of winning more than 11-13 games the entire season. After the first exhibition, I was convinced of it. Then, at the next game, they were a little better..then better at the next one...then better at the next one. You get the idea. I feel that the steady improvement combined with the "grit and heart" component will take this team much further than I originally predicted. It's a shame more people didn't get to see the Tennessee and Nevada games. They were really fun and convinced me of this team's potential to shake things up in the SunBelt this year. If I'm not mistaken, you live in Mandeville, so why not head over for the upcoming UNO game and check them out yourself? Bet you'll be glad you did!Originally Posted by RCAJUN90

Did anyone watch the Tenn vs. Memphis game the other night. The Vols beat the #17 ranked memphis team by 18 points, that is 8 more than they beat us by. Their guy Lofton (#5) is the real deal, he can shoot lights out. Just goes to show me that our team can play with anyone, and with the addition of Milsaps and Gray we will be getting some much needed depth. I see us having a good season in conference. Dees is very good, and if milsap is as good as advertised it will be hard to defend. With Hart and Wallace giving quality minutes playing physically under the boards, I'm excited to see what we do this seasonl. We are playing as a team, and with confidence which I believe lends its self to winning. Everyone in the area needs to come to the home games and cheer the team on.
I will be there.Originally Posted by CajunKate

Jay Walker where do you sit in the UNO Lakefront arena? I don't think they will let me get down on the floor yet I don't expect there will be a huge crowd.Originally Posted by BirdofParadise
The game will not be at the Lakefront because of Katrina damage. The game is on campus at the old HP Center, also known as the Chamber of Horrors.Originally Posted by RCAJUN90
It's like a high school gym. I'll be courtside. You shouldn't have any trouble getting over to say hello.
I'm upset that this will be the first year in 4 that I miss the UNO game in New Orleans. I recently moved to Houston, so the 5 hour drive just isn't feasible anymore, especially mid-week.
I'll be listening!
