The Book: Lady Cajuns 2006-07 basketball

[NewsCopy]

To hear J. Kelley Hall talk, the Sun Belt Conference basketball tournament must be right around the corner. Hall's already figuring on where his UL women's squad needs to finish in order to have the best shot at success in the league tournament. "There's three byes," Hall said Monday, "and obviously the first thing you want to do is get one of those byes so that you don't have to play four games in the tournament." The Cajuns are in position to compete for one of those byes, with UL currently leading the Sun Belt's Western Division by one-half game. The winners of the West and East and the second-place team with the best overall record won't have to play in the campus-site first round games and automatically advance to the quarterfinals at the Cajundome. But to Hall, playing one less game isn't the biggest benefit to the bye. It would be the likelihood of avoiding Eastern Division leader Middle Tennessee, generally regarded as the league's best team, until the tournament finals.

WE ARE DEATHLY AFRAID OF THE LADY CAJUNS!!

By the way, where will the women's tourney be held......the Cajun Dome, or Earl K. Long?

Also, where is "Long" Arena?

I know where Blackham is, but I have no clue where EKL is.

Hope to see some Cajuns in Tennessee this weekend.

I'm glad to see we've got you where we want you now... Deathly Afraid! LOL I'm sure the Lady Raiders will be all we can handle and then some. I'm not sure where the tourney will be held. My guess is the Cajundome, but I don't know. EKL is located right in the middle of campus on St. Mary Blvd., just down from Dupre Library. It is a small relic of the olden days. I think it still may have a "Southwestern" sign on the front! That was THE gym before Blackham. The women's program has resurrected the old place and it has been refurbished into a nice, small arena. I hope we are able to at least be competitive with you guys, but I don't think we have much of a chance against the vaunted (and nationally ranked! Way to go!) Lady Blue Raiders.

Both Mens and Womens tournament games will be held in the Cajundome.

Two upcoming road games will likely determine UL's chances to win the Sun Belt Conference's Western Division women's basketball title. One comes this weekend at Middle Tennessee, and the other comes 10 days later when the Ragin' Cajuns travel to Arkansas State. That makes UL's contest at Florida Atlantic tonight a "trap" game - one the Cajuns could easily overlook, especially since the host Owls are 4-17 overall and winless at 0-9 in Sun Belt play. The biggest fear for the Cajuns (16-5, 8-2 Sun Belt) in tonight's 6 p.m. (CST) game at FAU Arena may be looking ahead to Sunday's contest against MT's 19th-ranked Blue Raiders. But UL coach J. Kelley Hall said he's not overly concerned about that. "Nobody's even mentioned Middle Tennessee," Hall said. "What they're focused on is FAU. Our players know what we can't afford to do is go someplace and lose because we were looking down the road." The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com
