Long Scores 21 But Cajuns Fall To Middle Tennessee, 82-60

We may be not too far from being good.....but very good , not too sure

OK, I'm and old guy. I've been going to the UL basketball games with my dad since 1965 (we had only been USL for 5 years at that time). Back when we had the "great teams" we started Seniors and Juniors. Some Sophmores would come off of the bench every once in a while, while good freshmen would get a chance at mop up duty at the end when we had a big lead. There were a few exceptions over the last 50 years, but not that many.
Our experience mix this year is backwards. We're heavy loaded with Freshmen and Sophmores.....STARTING. Unless we have the "Fab Five", we are not going to win many games. If fact, I'm suprised that we have won as many as we have.
In the meantime, the guys that are starting as freshman will have a huge amount of experience by the time that they are Sophmores. Our record will stink this year, but next year will be hugely better. The key is getting another handful of great recruits for next year and developing them right behind the current young group. Every good recruit is not an Anthony Davis or a Bo Lamar. For the vast majority, it takes a full year with the team before they can even start to make any kind of positive contribution.
I'm an impatient person, but I do understand where we are right now. I know we've got a few good recruits for next year and i hear the kid from Comeaux is the real deal.

Not too far behind you. First attended a game in the 70-71 season.
