Hopefully we surpass 5000 next Saturday when Georgia Southern comes in. Students will be back so it is possible. As far as tonight goes, ULM controlled the tempo by making it a half court game. That is how they got back into in in the first part of the second half. You knew Richard would do that. Fortunately his guys struggled at the line while ours did well there after a slow start. I am sure their fans are bemoaning that stat. We really struggled finishing inside tonight and ULM's defense had something to do with that. Once again PJ Hardy shows that Bob Marlin may know a little more about recruiting than some of the experts on this site as he busted their zone in the first half with three triples and hit one at a critical time in the second half. Yes, I will remind people of that the entire season. If you want to know why, go back and look at some of the posts when we signed him back in April. I am sure those folks may come out of hiding next time he has a bad game.

I was there in my usual seat. Section 123, Row 9.

ULM had a good defensive game plan imo. Getting back quickly on D and really shutting down the lanes down low.

But as you say, our D is very good tonight

--Gotta penetrate that 1-3-1 and then the back guesses wrong and our back guy will get easy buckets--mixing it up pretty good with the 2-3 and then Man---I just think that ULM's coach has always been very tough to beat!!!

---Lost my program but the best player on the court I think could be their #5 what a vertical--can drive all the way, pull up, and hit the 3---very tough dude!!! Think our big boy off the bench has seen the light--getting tougher every time---maybe he pulled ahead of Scottie and that had some bearing on his leaving!!!

I agree. They have played good D since he's been there and I though they had a great D plan tonight. Luckily we hit some 3s (thanks, PJ) and hit our FTs

Bingo! Spot on...put another 15-20 pounds of muscle on the "big boy off the bench" and look out!
