Final: Louisiana (94) vs La. Tech (86)

[Zeebart21]

Z, we may make a run at post season play, particularly if Wright continues to improve at point. However, do not be surprised if McNeese challenges for the Southland title. The two guys named Guidry and Hardy who did well against us can play for a lot of teams. Granted, I would like to play them with Wright available. He may have made the difference. Not having a point guard who stops penetration and is your best ball handler always is a bigger factor than most realize.

So you are saying it's not a bad loss?

Wow! That was old fashioned ___ kicking. Hopefully a big wake up call for our team. Shawning us a stud..we had no answer. I guess everybody has a bad game know & then but I can't believe this sand UL squad lost to McNeese St by 10 last week.

Read up...apparently McNeese will challenge for the Southland title this year. Not as bad of a loss as we thought.

Wow! Louisiana sweeps Tech in both Mens & Women's basketball. And they are the best in CUSA?

They won the CUSA regular season title last year and are favored again this year. They were upset in the CUA tournament but did well in the NIT. Sports Illustrated picked them to go the NCAA tourney. WKU is in their league now so they do have another school with basketball tradtion to go against now.

No, the loss at McNeese was bad as the guys we did have available did not play to their potential. From what I understand, Coach Marlin was as disappointed in that effort as much as in any contest since he has been here. I was just giving credit to the Cowbos for outplaying us on Saturday and pointing out they do have some talent.

[Cajunsmike]

You measure good by being consistent against good teams, and bad teams. We have not yet been consistent. You cannot erase Brokeback U in one game.

No doubt we have not been consistent and I attribute some of that to injury. We now have two non D1 games coming up which will give us an opportunity to continue to work out kinks. Next D1 game is at Northwestern State the night of the bowl game. I will pay particular attention to that one as we need to have some road success prior to conference play beginning at the end of the month.

Will they have to play at WKU every year also, just because they are from the same state as us?

LA Tech was 63-16 the last two seasons plus before tonight. They won 29 games last year and have four of their five starters back.

Make no mistake about it. We beat a VERY good club tonight.

Cry over the spilled milk in Lake Charles all you like. Cajun fans should be savoring this one.

BTW Tech is 37-1 over their last 38 home games. Guess who the loss was to?
