Cajuns lost third straight Thursday, try to right the ship Saturday

Not saying he deserves to be 1st rounder or even drafted. But for a sophomore playing out of position to be 24th in the country in ppg, 8th in rpg and 16th in total blocks isn't too shabby.

If I'm being politically correct here I'm saying he deserved to be sat for whatever happened off the court. If I'm not being politically correct, I'm saying play the guy no matter what. Long is one of the main cogs of this team. How can you really expect to win a conference game without him, with the way this team has been playing? Can't afford to let this hole in the season open up too much. We can still stop the bleeding if we end the season hot going into the conference tourney. Never know what can happen once there.

Anyway, those are just two ways to think. If you get my drift.

Leaders lead when needed....

I hope you are referring to Marlin. I wouldn't categorize Long as a leader although he should be

-------------Very interesting post---kinda like don't cut off your nose to spite your face-----when the kid doesn't play everybody loses in my opinion (can't wait for the feedback on this) 1) the team loses as they know they can't win without him and their record gets worse in the conference race 2) the coach loses as his record goes South. 3) the fans lose cause their team gets beaten. 4) the kid gets a rep of being not dependable---Let him play and run his ___ and punish him physically and with other punishments------One of my friends really screwed up and it was decided that he wold stay on the team and play but had to run 25 stadiums every day for a year---at a teammate's wedding in his Tux after a few pops he was at the local HS stadium doing his penance!!!! Surly every crime has a different result but it is something to think about!!!

He pretty much gets shut down when he plays guys like himself. He struggled big time with WKU and GaSt even though his final numbers were OK, they came after the game was pretty much lost.
