MBB Final: Louisiana 105, Nicholls 80

[Cajunsmike]

UL should not do more than a 2-Home and 1-Away with schools like Nicholls.

At the same time UL should be doing as many 2-Away, 1-Home games as possible with P5 (basketball focused) schools. 3-1 if that is what it takes to get the ball rolling.

This approach is the only way to get back to Home-Home with peers from around the country.

Good idea there Turbine about possibly trying to get more attractive names for non conference to our place. It may need to go to 3 and 1 in order to do so and we may not get paid for any of the away games in some instances. As far as 2 and 1 for Nicholls, they would not do that unless we paid them for the 2nd visit here. I found out recently we paid 50 grand for Savannah State to come here and that is the first time in probably 20 years we paid a D1 school to come to our place. Making things more difficult is the fact that Nicholls will likely have one of their better teams this year due to all the graduate transfers. Tonight's game will be a challenge. That does not mean I will use that as an excuse if the team does not perform well. I will also not use the Stroman injury as an excuse. You simply have to win games like this.

Wasn't the Savannah St. game tied to the Cayman Island Classic? They played Cincinnati as well and both games are listed on their schedule as part of the Tournament.

Having a quality point guard is important to anyone. Beating Nicholls without this point guard should be expected if the team is going to be top tier.

Indirectly it was but we still had to pay them.

With a 3-1 vs a P5 basketball focused school with 1 free, 1 medium, and 1 large payday, UL could bring in 4 Savanna States.

1 per year with a single 3-1 arrangement.
