I'll have my first chance to see the team in person tomorrow. Anybody else going to the game?

I graduated from Nicholls and was there when the Colonels made a trip to the NCAA tourney in the early 90's. When they are good, Stopher gets really loud and is a tough place to play. I remember an article written back then by Dick Vitale. He called Stopher gym the Bates motel of college basketball.

Probably similar to the old UNO Chamber of Horrors. I remember going to UNO games in that place where you could not hear yourself.

Or before renovations, the old Folgleman Arena on Tulane's Campus.

We're heading that way this afternoon. My first time on the Nicholls campus. Nice short road trip.

We'll have to play better than Tuesday night to get the W. Lots of talent on that Nicholls team. 9 seniors. Good size too.

Not to open up that whole can of worms again, but I can understand/accept that we play in-state schools, but I really don't get why we agree to go there. Except for baseball, not sure why we would do this.

Any word on Stroman?

Any word on Stroman?

according to the article in the DA today, he was shooting the ball well yesterday, better than Marlin expected and we "may" see him tonight.

That is good news. My hope is that we don't need him and he could rest tonight and vs Loyola and have him fully ready for December 12th vs La Tech.

Probably CajunMike can answer this better, but I think it was part of a home vs home with them.

[cajundiehard]

Thanks. That is good news. Certainly not worth playing him at this point if it would risk further injury...

But yet we want people to place us at home that are perceived above us.
