Women Fall in Close Game to WKU, 68-63

[NewsCopy]

Sylvana Okde scored a team-high 16 points to register her six double-digit performance in the past seven games, but it was not enough as the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns dropped a tough 68-63 decision to WKU in a Sun Belt Conference game Saturday at the Cajundome.

If that picture is from yesterday, they need to play in EKL, where the game can have an atmosphere and the Ladies can have a home court advantage.

Brodhead making quicker advances with a program that was further down than their men counterparts. We need a coach like Brodhead for the mens team. Going into year five, half a decade, and still playing like a guy in his second season of the rebuild.

Clearly Coach Brodhead thinks playing in the dome is better for the program than the depression era EKL physical education building.

Playing in the Dome does make a difference in recruiting....from the horses mouth

That sounds about right.

I stayed and enjoyed the game. Looking much better.

I agree, looking better. I wish more people would stay to watch. The team hustles their buts off.

They do not need to be playing in EKL. It is a dump (I know, it is a historical dump ) and the players deserve better. Crowd or not, the Cajun Dome is a much better venue and I am glad they have moved the games.

I understand the lure of the biggest venue.

I just subscribe to J. Kelley Hall's view that even a crowd of 200 could create a home court advantage in EKL.

I am still concerned about the lack of size and athleticism. Generally I like Brodhead's in game coaching, but in the GaSt game, we were horrendous against full court pressure, trying to beat it with the dribble instead of the pass, and we dribble too much in the offense as well.
