Game Time: Louisiana vs. Alabama

[SlickRick]

I do.

[ManAboutTown]

I do.

Neither game was close. Neither game was ever in doubt. 3s or not.

I fully expect to dominate our conference. That's why I keep using the term "relative". You really believe that with a 40% clip from 3 from either one of the schools we just played that the games would have been close?

I don't.

While I believe there is more to it, the simple math of your question says yes. If bama shoots 40% (10/25), they score 15 points less, only giving them 90. Different game. Same with Miami, although we would have needed to hit 35% to their 40% to match.

This.
Boom--Register is there to shoot. He is there to stretch the floor. His job is to shoot the deep ball.

I think that includes making a few...which has become rare.

I, and most of the basketball world, will take 40%. Also seems like his defense has improved slightly.

More perspective. ~30 game season. Tough to win a basketball game on the road. Biggest home advantage in sports. I choose to believe UL will be fine. If one judges a team based on 2 road games against ACC and SEC schools, they are courting worry.

Well said.

so our offense can be good enough, but we still need to improve on shot selection and situational awareness. our defense is very weak. these teams are getting wide open looks most of the game. we still turn the ball over way too much, and free throws need to improve. but we have great fight and heart. now just need to get our head to follow.

-----Why does it seem to me that in both football and basketball---the opponents get better separation----Didn't see the game but have seen many open looks--and in football all our receivers seem pretty well covered while opponents seem to have well opened receivers!!!

[jllanclos]

I didn't see the game either Boom but Dayum those dudes were wide open!!!!!

I have been asking this same question for the past two years now, Boomer.

It's not only in the games that the Cajuns play in, either. Watch other college football games and you very rarely see recievers streaking across the field without a defender within 10 yards of them as you see almost every drive when the Cajus are on Defense.

However, you DO see recievers run routes that give them 2-3 yards of room, enough for a QB to have a window to throw into. Which neither Haack nor Nixon has seen much of this season.

Maybe it's because of the bias I have while watching my Cajuns play....but I don't think so.
