The Book: Lady Cajuns 2006-07 basketball

[Turbine]

By every account the crowd was very good Wednesday.

Sunday all non Saints/football fans should go watch the Lady Cajuns play. They are going head to head in the time slot against he Saints.

ps I won't be able to make it myself.

Looks like the Lady Cajuns are holding up their end of an undefeated 2007

Yes, their tipoff time is the same as the NFC Championship Game. Many fans' attentions will be divided between the on-court happenings and their portable radios/TV's, those tuned to the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears. That is, those fans that show up. In fact, UL's women's basketball team won't even have a radio broadcast, with its regular station carrying the Saints' first-ever title game. All that doesn't matter to Cajun coach J. Kelley Hall and his players. All they want is sole possession of first place in the Sun Belt Conference's Western Division, which will happen if the Cajuns top Troy's Trojans in today's 2 p.m. contest at Long Gym. UL (15-5) is on a five-game win streak, the second-longest in the Sun Belt behind only nationally-ranked Middle Tennessee (13 straight), and the Cajuns enter today's game tied with Arkansas State at 7-2 in league play. But ASU holds a tiebreaker advantage over the Cajuns right now courtesy of a head-up overtime win back on Dec. 16. "We have no room for error," Hall said, "and the team we're playing Sunday is scary. When they get going, they're one of the best shooting teams in the league." The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

It's too bad that the game is going to be at the same time the Saints game is, I'd really love to go watch the girls play.

UL's women's basketball team may have been ahead at halftime, but Yolanda Jones knew both she and her team could do better Sunday afternoon. "We were taking too many outside shots," Jones said after the Cajuns' 89-66 Sun Belt Conference victory over Troy. "At halftime, we figured the posts needed to bang it inside." That's what Jones and Sonora Edwards did in the second half, abusing the visiting Trojans' inside players and helping UL (16-5, 8-2) roll up its biggest point total in over a year. Jones and Edwards teamed for 33 points by themselves in the second half, only two less than the Trojans (10-9, 3-6) had as a team. As a unit, the Cajuns hit on 22-of-32 shots after taking a 37-31 halftime lead, and had an impressive 50 points in the paint. "That was our adjustment in the second half," said Cajun coach J. Kelley Hall. "We were going to pound it inside and make them play post defense. Sonora and Yoli both had big halves." The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com
