The Book: Lady Cajuns 2006-07 basketball

[NewsCopy]

UL's women's basketball team established its early-season reputation on defense and on the boards. In Thursday's Sun Belt Conference opener, the Ragin' Cajuns proved they can also run the transition offense. UL got 18 of its first-half points in transition, and at the same time held New Orleans without a field goal for seven minutes in building a 45-18 halftime lead. The Cajuns then extended that lead to 39 points midway through the second half and coasted to a 77-51 victory over the host Privateers at UNO's Human Performance Center. The Cajuns (8-3, 1-0 Sun Belt) got two early three-pointers, and the rest of their baskets in the first half's opening 14 minutes either came from the running game or on offensive rebound put backs.

I was able to watch most of the game last night and I must say that the Lady Cajuns are very talented. Coach Hall and his staff have done a tremendous job with this program. If the Lady Cajuns continue on the current path for the next couple of years, Coach Hall should be named the coach of the decade.

[El Sidonio]

Coach Hall's catch-phrase should be: "The best offense is a good defense, and defense wins championships". I am very impressed with their 8-3 record on this 11 game road swing. If we can do this well on the road, how much better will we do at home? And if we can do this good on the road, that bids very well for our postseason travels (knock on wood).

God Bless

We appreciate all the support. The kids played well and were very focused last night. We have a quick turn around for Ark. State.

Was wondering, did anybody tape the game last night? We would like to get a copy to show the team if anybody has a copy. Thanks.

Let it be known that I'm skipping a christmas party to go to the Lady Cajuns game on Saturday night. Why do I say this? Because for me that has no life, to skip a party and thus negate a chance at a social life, means that nobody has an excuse.

GET TO THE GAME SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUPPORT THIS TEAM!!!!! THEY ARE ON A ROLL AND THEY NEED AND DESERVE OUR SUPPORT!!!! LET'S PACK THE EARL TO THE RAFTERS!!!!!

God Bless

Sid, you are making me feel bad. There is no way I can get to that game. My youngest one, Byron, is receiving his Master's degree late Saturday. I guess I could skip it, but in turn I would be homeless. Rest assured that I will be there supporting them, as I have for the past three years, for the rest of their home games. Might even try a road trip if it isn't too far.

Coach Hall has done wonders for this program. Future success is almost assured. The Lady's give us some bragging rights.

[Tripple Threat]

I wonder if Coach Hall and Coach Lee ever ever talk shop...just wondering...Coach Lee is now at the baseline for the men's team. Coach Hall has exceeded the baseline and will bring this team beyond anyone's expectations. Little ole' Lafayette...Wow! I'm very happy for everyone involved.

UL's women's basketball team led virtually all of regulation, but Arkansas State rallied to force overtime and ran away in the extra period to a 65-58 victory over the Cajuns Saturday night at Long Gym. The Cajuns, falling to 8-4 overall and 1-1 in Sun Belt Conference play, led by as many as nine points early in the second half and never trailed after the first four minutes of regulation. However, ASU scored the final three points in regulation to tie the game at 50, and then scored the first eight points in overtime. The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com
