ul vs mcneese

[CajunCharlie]

_ Switching to a slower offense with about 10 minutes left and up by about 15 was the big killer of our large lead. _

My thoughts exactly! Race horses like to run. They do not like to trot!!!

[CajunCharlie]

_ We suck at playing with a lead. _

Change that "we" to Lee. He took them out of a good rhythm, and they took to standing around playing "footsie" waiting for a last shot before the shot clock expired.

Goodness gracious we had a 15-20 point lead. Why do you want to slow down? Turn them loose. Run up the score. McNeese would have had they held such a lead.

_ Cowboys just went on a 10 point run...
UL 64
Neese 57 _

Cajuns are going to have to stop having those 6-8 min runs where we do not move on offense, do not drive to the basket, only shoot from the outside. On D-Fense we seem to loose our intensity also for the same time frame.

If we play with the same intensity and style this Saturday against Alabama for the whole 40 minutes instead of 29 like J-Bird stated after the game tonight, UL will have a very good chance to WIN!!!

_ We looked MUCH more fluid with McCoy running the point and got much easier baskets with his dribble penetration and dish offs. He is THE PG for this team. _

AGREED!!!!!

I got a chance to meet the players at the Jersey auction after the game and I must say they are all really cool guys and were very appreciative for all of their jerseys being bought. If you've never been to one of the jersey auctions (my first was tonight) I suggest you go to one even if you're not bidding. It was alot of fun.

Andrew Toney's jersey went for $1,500 and Bo Lamar called Andrew after the final bid and gave the phone to the guy who won the jersey and talked to him. It was really cool. Glad to see the Basketball team doing the auction thing.

I too must agree with you on McCoy. Played nearly 30 minutes tonight and he had NO turnovers. Daigle is out for now with a broken hand and is sorely needed, and Lago still has to cut down on turn overs(settle down Willie just settle down and let the game come to you)!!

Correction: the game was moved to Sunday due to Bama's SEC championship game against Florida on Saturday.

School night for the kids had to get back home a wife was not at the game having worked late. Anyone know what the final tally of the auction was?

_ I would have liked to have seen more D tonight. Everytime we shot they showed the replay at three different angles and missed about 20 sec. of cajun Defence. The last two procession's by McNeese was not shown because of the replay......they even showed replays on missed shots. I guess the replay guy wanted some air time. _

Totally agree about the replay. Missed entire possessions watching a replay.

Crowd was 4200.

They had about "throwback" player jerseys (Eric Mouton, Kevin Brooks, Byron Starks, etc...) those went from $200-600. They had 2 Lamar Jerseys (that he stayed to sign) and 2 Toney Jerseys. Andrew's jerseys went for $600 and $1500. Lamars got $1200, $1200 then the winner donated the jersey back to put up for auction and it got another $1200. The Current players jerseys that they wore for the McNeese game went for about $200 or $300. All of the money goes to the UL Basketball program. So overall a very lucrative night for the Cajun Basketball program.

Just for the sake of accuracy:

I didn't remember this, so I went back to the play by play (written) of the game.

After we got a 17 point lead with 11 minutes to go, we had the ball in possession 17 times.

The shot clock got below ten four times and below five on three occasions.
On two of the four possessions we got to the free throw line.

On two of those possessions, McNeese had gone to a zone which makes it harder to get a shot early.

I'll respectfully disagree with you on this one.

No harm done in disagreeing with me, respectfully or not. My observation may not coincide with the written play by play, but I still feel that the "slowdown" was called from the bench. Just my opinion, which at times isn't worth two cents.

See ya at the Krewe site? Hopefully!!
