They will go nowhere if they do not learn how to play defense real soon!

The defense looked good in the 1st. The stretch of about 5 possessions midway through the 2nd did us in. It looked like we went to sleep and couldnt wake up.

Tough to play defense in a 3 on 1 situation after a turnover. Cajuns have not turned it over an unusual amount much this year. When they do however the opponents sure make them pay. There were four in a row on Saturday that allowed Tech to stretch the lead out. For them to be successful, they have to do a better job of handling the ball. That goes for dribbling and passing. If you are cold that is one thing as you can get back to set the defense. Poor ball handling is as responsible for our road problems as much as anything. If you want to see that is attributed to inconsistent guard play, I will not argue.

I have to agree.The Cajun point guard thew it right to the LaTech player in front of him twice in a row.
