Louisiana vs. South Alabama

[Ragincajun07]

What was the turn out? I didn't go because of the recent ____ show they've put on and now they go and win...

One of the best games offensively....defensively, not so much. s.al had 90% of their FG's were layups. Anyone else at the game disagree?

The reason they lost the game was that they made, I recall, one of nineteen three point attempts. We are going to not let them get second chance points of most of those missed three points. There were indeed a lot of uncontested layups. They often made the defender look silly.

I'm very happy with the victory because I definitely did not think they were going to win three more before last night. Still a big mountain as I see 50/50 vs Tx St, and the road rest 40/60 chance. Don't think they can beat Arlington.

All I can say is Cajuns win, nuff said.

Team played much better defensively than recently. Stalcup and Brown playing more is reason. Someone asked why i have had few comments recently and reason is there has been little positive to say recently and others have pointed out problems that all see. Big question i have is why has Stalcup not played more before tonight. Miller knee issues limit him on defense and he has been playing too many minutes recently. He will do better on defense if he does not have to play as much

Mike, I think Stalcup had a great game. Someone had posted some time back that our losing started just after Scott Plaisance transferred out; the more I have seen us play the more I believe this is more than coincidence. Scotty would and could get into foul trouble but he was a big athletic guy that could have helped.

We need Stalcup getting some minutes; I hope Brown is able to lock down better defensively; he's got good hops and can help with the rebounding for sure.

Stalcup had his best game, by far. My favorite thing he did last night was provide presence on defense. Also a lot of activity on the offensive glass.

He had a couple of very nice passes as well.

He had a couple of very nice passes as well.

---AND-----I finally saw him get PIZZED OFF---after one call he kinda slammed the ball down on the court and as the guys in the hood of our section agreed ---he is now getting to be an intricate and much needed added part of the Ragin' Cajun basketball team!!!

There were few uncontested layups when Stalcup was in. In addition to four blocked shots, he altered several others. Other factor last night was Jay Wright holding Ken Williams to a 3 of 14 night. Williams is an all conference guard. Give Jay credit for doing this while playing with a hand injury. Jay does not always make the right decisions but the kid always plays as hard as anyone on the floor.

I'm very happy with the victory because I definitely did not think they were going to win three more before last night. Still a big mountain as I see 50/50 vs Tx St, and the road rest 40/60 chance. Don't think they can beat Arlington.

Defense was fine at rim with Stalcup in game. I bet he plays more going forward. Agree it will be tough to get three wins following Saturday game. At least we have one at this point.

Mike, I think Jay should avoid the lay ups. He is rejected far more often than being successful. Cleary he should do it sometimes, but really he simply should be sure he can get the shots. He really does not get fouled often enough to do it so regularly. His drive to the basket should be with the intention of passing to another player.

[Ragin' Caleb]

In referring to jay being unsuccessful driving and trying layups....he is far more successful when he has driven the lane and passed or pulled up for a mid ranger

[CajunEXPRESS]

exactly

[Cajunsmike]

I agree that Jay should shoot more mid range shots when he drives and pass to the wing when challenged inside. Still, you have to admit the kid plays hard.
