Here' A Big Shout Out

[DestinCajun]

I saw glorified street ball! The second half we just knocked down shots whereas in the first half we didn't! We still do not have a well run offense and that points to coaching.

It was a great game though and a fun trip to BR. My Izzo's was delicious after the game as well!

In the first half we truned the ball over too much. In the second half we did not, played much better defense and got the ball to our shooters who made some big shots. In case you didn't notice LState made some great shots too.
I am encouraged we will only get better and better, especially with Randal Daigle capable of taking teams out of zone defenses.

I watched the replay on TheStateSportsNetwork a/k/a CST and listening to Len Rollins' play by play is as painful as suffering a severe toothache. WTH is "grad-Nuggo"?

I give "color guy" Collis Temple III credit for knowing quite a bit about our players' background. One of his brothers played a little football for UL and he is no doubt familiar with our instate kids. Anyway thanks Collis.

This is the first time all year that Gradnigo, Daigle, and Bureau have played together and they are our three best shooters. Destin is right in that Gradnigo is still in a slump. Perhaps the couple of shots he knocked down in the second half will get him going. Main thing I saw today was the leadership Daigle provided. When he started getting on guys, they played harder which is why we were able to come back. We have been lacking a team leader all season and we may now have one. Making free throws and doing better on the boards than we did against Tennessee were also positives Destin is also right in that the turnovers in the first half which caused us to get too far behind is the main reason we cam up a little short. That has to get corrected. We won't make 11 threes every game. Turnovers keep happening and the frustration will continue. I am disappointed but slightly encouraged from what I saw today. I also thought the uniforms looked fine, especially since there was no Lafayette on them.

Did you notice a lot of the TOs involved getting the ball just ripped away from us or taken away inside the arc. Maybe we need a few guys to spend a little extra time in the weight room. Seeing Daigle on the court and doing what Randal does best makes it easier to see what we've been missing. With him as a serious outside threat, we may not see opponents in zone defenses as much. Looking back, he could well have been the difference in the LaTex and North Denton games. They had big success against us playing zone.

Didn't McNeese almost beat this team? One of LSU best? LOL! Yea our unis would have looked better if we would have won.

McNeese/LSU game was similar to ours with LSU leading most of the way and McNeese having a chance late. We did beat McNeese earlier in the year. We did that without Randell Daigle who is our team leader.

I have no doubt we would have won both the Tech and Sam Houston games with Randell. You may be right in that we would have done better against UNT as well.
