Wow!
What a win. Any win on the road is a good win!
How wrong I was, Coastal only had 28 points in the paint.
Way to go Cajuns!
That's a nice win!
Bartley deserves lots of credit for those two as he had struggled from the line all day. He had just missed a one in one a little earlier. Yet, when the pressure was the greatest he came through unlike the Coastal Carolina guy who did not look confident at the end. Even though I appreciate the win I do feel for young men in those situations as that has to eat at them for a few days. I know that is three in a row and it looks like we may have ended the slump. However, Coach Marlin often says things are never as good as they seem or as bad as they seem. Things are definitely not all peachy for the Cajuns team yet. I say that due to the fact missed free throws by our opponents in the last two road games were a big factor in the outcome. That indicates we have had a little luck which contributed to the result almost as much as the Cajuns play. That is not to say our guys don't deserve credit for making enough plays to win the game and keeping poise at crunch time.. For example Stove had two old fashioned three point plays and made a conventional three in the second half to keep the team in the lead. I am sure he hated not being in there at the end due to fouling out. By the way, today's win matches my pre-season prediction of 17 wins. I realize that the pre-conference schedule was a little weaker than expected which has affected the win total.
Nice to see them hold on and win a close one.
