Ragin' Cajuns 67 - Denver Pioneers 65

[Cajunsmike]

I was actually lucky enough to catch the game on TV here in Houston. When I signed up for my cable, I took the Sports option, which added 5 off-the-wall sports channels that mostly play junk. I figured as much, but for an extra $4 a month, I figured what the heck.

As a long shot, I thought I might check those channels after I learned it was being broadcasted in the Denver area, and sure enough. Apparently I have Fox Sports Mountain West, which carried the game. They also show some Sun Belt games from time to time.

Not sure if the altitude had much to do with the fatigue of the Cajuns, but we slowed down significantly after an awesome, fast-paced start. We shot great from the outside, but need to take it to the hole more and get to the line. At the same time, the majority of Denver's points came from inside the paint. I would love to see that stat.

Great morale win, showing we can hold off a comeback. I look forward to the next 2 games and hopefully we can get to .500 on the year in conference play next Saturday night.

Coach Lee said that the refs told him they missed some foul calls when David Dees took it to the basket. Tough to shoot free throws when the ref swallows his whistle.

Agreed. They lost control of that game as far as calls go. Too many missed calls resulting in too many ticky-tack makeup calls makes for a bad game...
