---So Mel--I guess we played the entire group tonight??? If we did and they in a tough double ot loss will be to our advantage I think!!!

We can hope. But remember we have a 2 hour bus ride tonight and a flight tomorrow to Baton Rouge then bus to Lafayette. They sleep in their bed and have a direct flight from Atlanta to Lafayette. Hopefully they are very, very tired.

I saw where RJ Hunter of Ga. State had a very poor game last night and is in somewhat of a slump. I guarantee you he will break out of at some point. Just hope it is not Thursday night. Odds are that it will be soon and I expect he will have a good game Thursday. Even if he does, that does not mean we cannot win. We just need to do the things we have done the last few games. That is limit turnovers, make free throws, and force the opponent to shoot "tough twos". Even though we have won the last two games handily, I still think we have not played to our potential. Last night we let App State have too many second shots and we were not able to finish around the basket on some plays. We also let Troy get too much penetration into the lane by the guards and although that was better last night it could still improve. We do the things I mentioned earler and make the improvements I just listed, we could have a special conference season.

The Huckster (Ron Hunter) and his spawn come to town.** Awesome time for a beat down!

In league play, Hunter is 10-35 from the field, 3-21 from three point range (including 0-10 last night).

He could get well at any time, but he strikes me as the type that would get down after three games like he's had.

We need to make sure he starts slowly.

Harrow is the toughest matchup. We couldn't guard him last year no matter who was on him.

Jay Wright is going to have his hands full.

I think the bottom line is, if we don't let both of them have big nights we have a good chance to win.

They aren't deep. They'll play that 2-3 and 1-3-1 zone the entire game just like they did last year.

This is going to be fun.

Looking forward to Jay. Geaux Cajuns!

------Hell Jay this is great reporting---can you give us who you think will play on whom----I have been so impressed with Wright's defense as well as offense and what a motor----have been waiting for a PG that could shoot for many years now!!!

The travel is not an issue.(see other thread) Bob complaining about it was ill advised. He will be getting a visit from the little general this afternoon. He must comply with boss mans wishes.after all.we should be comfortable in the Belt.

I said the same thing when the Trailblazers came to play the Pelicans during the Nola bowl weekend. They played a 2 or 3 OT game the night before and had to travel to NOLA to play and they demolished the Pelicans and looked sharp doing it. While I'd like to believe this would play to our advantage, you never know. The moral is we will have to come ready to play.
