Cajuns exhibition 11/11 vs. UT Tyler

[BirdofParadise]

_ Right now Ryan McCoy does not seem to be the answer at point gaurd. In both games he seemed to really struggle at every phase of the game. Both Daigle and Lego played much better.

La'Ryan Gary seems to be the most improved player this year and as we expected Tyren Johnson continues to improve and is turning into a fine player. Corey Bloom seems to have more confidence with the ball in his hands and he has a very nice shot. If Bloom can be a threat off the bench in shooting 3's he can be a add plus.

Barr and Batiste both played better in the second game and I will hold judgement until they play D1 competition.

Injuries seems to be the knife in our side right now. If we get healthy and when we get the transfers at the end of the fall semester we will be a very solid team that has the chance to make a post season run. _

Actually, I thought McCoy looked much more comfortable in the second half. Don't see how anyone could make a judgment on Daigle, since he got hurt about six minutes into the game and didn't play again.

They were taking him for X-rays on his hand after the game.

We need a uniform thread for basketball, so I'll start it. Why do our basketball uniforms have Louisiana Lafayette on them? Football, baseball, and softball use only Louisiana. Women's basketball used to use Louisiana Lafayette, but now uses Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns. Better, but it doesn't look good on the uniform, too much lettering and too close together.

Just another inconsistency in our athletic department. It sure is frustrating. I know, I know ... just win and it doesn't matter. But, why can't we win with the right name and establish the Louisiana identity that we want? Why are we so inconsistent in this?

_ I'm watching the broadcast on Ragin Station, and that's working fine for me. It's a little hard to follow without audio, but it works for an exhibition.

The Cajuns were up 36-26 at the half. The first 12-13 minutes were lackluster at best. However, they started playing MUCH better on both sides of the ball after that. Their intensity and hustle increased exponentially. They caused a lot of turnovers, pressured the other guys, and created several fast breaks. There were also some nice blocked shots.

Somebody needs to get these guys some Dwayne Mitchell film. Gary had a breakaway and had a clean run to the basket, and it was one of the most anti-climatic dunks I've ever witnessed. There were also a couple other fast breaks where they could have thrown up an alley-oop or something, but it looked like they were too afraid to mess it up, so they went conservative. This team's got the talent, it seems, to do some crazy stuff like the 03-05 teams used to do. Hopefully, they'll learn to be a little more creative with their fast break opportunities and light up the Dome like those other guys did.

I don't care how fancy they are at putting the ball in the basket. I am more concerned that the ball goes in. I am disappointed in the rebouding last night. Our reaction time was slow. I am also concerned about injuries. We may not have either Daigle or Gradnigo for the season opener on Saturday.

I agree with you Jay about McCoy. He did struggle with his shooting. However the shots he took were good ones, he handled the ball well, and had four assists. In summary he made good decisions. He will need to hit a couple of shots to be effective. Once he makes a couple of jumpers his confidence will return and he will be fine. One thing I do believe we can anticipate is Jeremy Barr will often have foul trouble. He is so large people bounce off of him. He is one of those guys the refs will always pick on.

La'Ryan Gary has impressed me more than anyone in the 2 preseason games. I don't think I am the only one being impressed either. He reminds me so much of Brian Hamilton it is almost scary. Another thing that I noticed in the limited time he played last night was that Willie Lago's offense game has improved a lot.

Lago my Eggo clutch, I look good in HD

I think that Gary and Daigle looked great in the first two exhibition games....Gary especially.

McCoy looked bad in the first exhibition game (nervous), but showed some improvement last night. Bloom has a good shot, but his defense is lackluster. Barr wants to play well, but I think he is too slow in his reaction times. Batiste is a very nice surprise (is he a walk-on?) as he always seems have his motor running. Bureau still has a great shot, but I think this year he will play better defense (as evident with the 5 block game last night). Also got to see a little mop up duties with Minor, who impressed me so far.

I was at the game last night, and I remember seeing Daigle play throughout the game, and I definitely saw him at the warmups before the second half, his hair is very recognizable. He was still there for the post game fight song and he sure didn't look hurt.

Thats not Daigle. Your thinking of Willie Lago...Daigle didn't touch the court in the 2nd half.
