Z, I know one thing you don't miss is your friend Tony Mitchell continuing to struggle against the Cajuns. I can't explain how we are able to contain that great talent. However, he has not been much of a factor in three of the four games he has played against us. Tonight he more turnovers and more fouls than points.

Also, both wins today are on the road against teams leaving the league which had disappointing attendance. I know our basketball attendance has dropped substantially but we have had seven virtual losing seasons in a row while UNT has been successful in recent years. In addition, we have had one home game on a Sunday, another on the night before Thanksgiving, and one on an evening the Saints played. Home schedule has not exactly been fan friendly. If we do well in Lake Charles next Saturday night, maybe a few more folks will show up at the next home game which is a week from Tuesday. I doubt it as too many folks have gotten out of the habit of going to basketball. It will take a winning streak to get folks to come back.

Excellent win tonight against a tough opponent ... on the road.

Maybe AMT and moss were out. Steve said we were 4 short tonight due to illness and injury but I never heard specifics

[Boomer]

OK thanks!!!

AMT was suspended for Thursday's game and last night's game. All the other guys who sat out were missing due to injury or illness. Barnett had some dental surgery but I don't recall the medical issues with the other guys. That is why Leblanc played 10 minutes. He hit a big three. Had to be a thrill for a walk on to make a big shot in a road conference game.

Bad news:
Coach Marlin said on his radio show tonight that Kevin Jones is out for the season.
Tough loss for the Cajuns. He was contributing.
He broke a bone in his foot and will have to undergo surgery.
