The goal of a combined 6-0 three-game Sun Belt Conference homestand for UL's men's and women's basketball teams may have been a bit much.

It certainly seemed logical at the time.

It was a foul night for the Ragin' Cajuns.

UL, the top-rebounding team in the Sun Belt Conference, got beat on the boards by two Saturday evening_by Georgia Southern, which gets usually out-rebounded more than any team in the league.

The Ragin’ Cajuns were just 3-of-18 from 3-point range, and over one stretch went more than 30 minutes between made treys.

The Cajun Basketball team is like a luxury cruise ship floating in the middle of the ocean with plenty of fuel and a first class crew but no captain. Without the captain to give the proper orders and give the ship direction they are simply guessing as to which way to go.

The Cajuns are a group of fine athletes. The losses this year are not on the players. They need a better game plan and that comes from the top.

I'd argue that the opponent last Saturday probably had better athletes.
