The Book: Lady Cajuns 2006-07 basketball

[TillmansNumber1]

Apparently, Cajuns have already moved up to #46..........

Not sure how that RPI is calculated. Every other site, excluding rpirealtime, the website quoted, has the Lady Cajuns in the low 60s. The Cajuns have the second highest RPI in the Sun Belt, second only to MTSU, who is ranked 23rd in national polls. Not sure if this is enough for an at large bid, but the closer to 51/50 then the chances of the Cajuns going to the NCAAs increase. Expect the RPI to take a hit as the Cajuns begin playing poor RPI teams in the Sun Belt.

RPIRatings.com -- 62nd
CollegeRPI.com -- 61st

The men's RPI, according to Rpirealtime, is around 301st. Ken Pomeroy lists the Cajuns at 298; they bumped up after the loss to WKU, who is ranked 62nd. Sadly, there are four teams with two wins (Wofford, NC Asheville, Idaho and Nicholls) who are statistically superior to the Cajuns in the RPI. The Cajuns have just three division one wins, and have the second worst RPI out of teams in Louisiana. Only Southern is worse (305).

I listened to the game on the radio and I was very impressed. They dominated from start to finish with very little exception. Let's hope everybody notices and gets out there more to the lady cajun basketball games. Good job Coaches Hall and team!!!!!

God Bless

GEAUX UL RAGIN CAJUNS!!!!!!!!!!

Eventually, one of UL’s women’s basketball opponents is going to give the Ragin’ Cajun defense a little credit. After 14 wins, it can’t be just a continual series of cold shooting nights. Virtually every time the UL women have won this year, opposing coaches and players bemoan the fact that their team didn’t shoot well. It happened again Sunday when the Cajuns took a surprisingly easy 77-64 road win at established Sun Belt power Western Kentucky. The host Toppers made only 35.7 percent of their shots in Sunday’s loss, and only went 3-of-21 outside the three-point arc. That’s happened to a lot of teams, last Thursday’s 85-76 win over North Texas notwithstanding. UNT hit 45.9 percent in that game and scored 73 points, the most UL has allowed all year, but in 11 of UL’s 14 wins this year opponents have shot under 40 percent. So far this year, UL opponents are shooting 34.3 percent from the field in 19 games. The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

It's amazing what good things can happen when your team wins four straight games. UL senior Yolanda Jones was honored as the Sun Belt Conference's women's basketball Player of the Week Monday, after leading the Ragin' Cajuns to road wins at North Texas and Western Kentucky - the latter a first-ever UL win in Bowling Green. Jones scored 20 of her game-high 30 points in the second half in Thursday's 85-76 comeback win at UNT to go with 10 rebounds, six assists and three steals. On Sunday, she had 16 points and a game-high 13 rebounds along with five assists in the Cajuns' surprisingly easy 77-64 win over the Lady Toppers. She had 11 of her points in the first half in helping UL take a double-digit lead. The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

Congratulations Yolanda! I read the news release on the Sunbelt Sports website and couldn't have been more proud if it were my own daughter. The Lady Cajuns work hard everyday and deserve all the credit they can get. The whole team is awesome. Keep up the great work.

You make us proud!

I hate the fact that I missed my opportunity to see the women's team when they played North Texas on the 11th.

These ladies can play. I watched the game when they played Texas (in Austin). We weren't at full strength and Yolanda was dealing with an ankle injury but there is no doubt in my mind we would have won that game handily if everyone had been healthy and available. This team deserves all the accolades it gets.

You make us proud. Keep up the great work!

There's ample opportunity for a letdown for UL's women's basketball team today, and that's a dangerous thing. The Ragin' Cajuns, riding a four-game winning streak and coming off one of the most significant wins in the program's recent history, host a hot South Alabama club at 7 p.m. at Long Gym. The visiting Jaguars (9-8, 3-4 Sun Belt Conference) have won three straight league games after starting the conference season 0-4. "They've always been tough for us," said Cajun coach J. Kelley Hall of USA, which has handed UL a loss in each of the last two seasons when the Cajuns totaled 40 wins. A dragon that had been even tougher on the Cajuns was slayed Sunday when UL (14-5, 6-2) went to Bowling Green, Ky., and took a 77-64 victory over perennial Sun Belt power Western Kentucky. The Cajuns had never won at WKU and had only one victory over the Lady Toppers in 30 series games. The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

Hey, Daddy C, I believe VBmom resides in Ft. Worth, TX. That's why she has a hard time getting to games. I live in Mandeville and have a tough time getting 2 hours west my own self. I try to get to more games, but work (sometimes on weekends) seems to get in the way too often! Dang it!

[cajunvbmom]

Believe me, if i lived in Lafayette there isn't a volleyball match or basketball game I wouldn't attend. Give an extra yell for me Daddycajun!

Know that I am there in spirit and will definetly hit the Athletic Network website to get the results, box score and story!
