Keep that rumor going and the dome will be packed Saturday night. Just have MAT put it out that a private plane from College Station is scheduled to land in Lafayette Saturday night with a limo scheduled to the Cajundome.

I like that. They should really plan on and make it public that they are announcing the new coach at halftime of the basketball game! Keep it a secret until then.

We go there a beat a good team on the road, one of which we absolutely hate and recruit against and this is all you can say about the game? You crack me up man.

I made the comment long before the game was over. Obviously a good win. The name battle is never ending, especially with Tech.

[Cajunsmike]

They call us Louisiana Lafayette and ULL and we wear a road uniform with Ragin Cajuns instead of Louisiana. Who the hell makes these decisions? Sometimes we are our own worse enemy.

Coaches make these decisions and they don't think about the name as much as you do. They liked these uniforms because they are throwbacks to the Andrew Toney days when we played Tech regularly. By the way, Andrew Toney's point guard sat next to our group last night. He was not pleased with the late game officiating.

Good Win on the road. Let’s Continue our dominance of in state schools this year.
This team is good y’all. Let’s enjoy the ride. It has been way too long!!!

Cajuns have not lost a game in state since the lost in Ruston in December of 2015. Now the next two games are against opponents likely not as talented as Tech in UNO and SLU. However, both those teams will view this game as their biggest game of the year and we have to be ready to play. Otherwise we will end up like Georgia State after they played Prairie View-egg on the face. We do have lots of experience on the team so I suspect we won't take these opponents lightly.

Can’t believe we gave up that big lead...nice to get out with the W

You know this would happen as you were on the road against a quality opponent. They made some NBA threes at times and their guards could get into the lane. Add that to the fact they got every break in the last five minutes and you get the game you expect. In a way being able to hang on and handle adversity is more rewarding than coasting. When things got tight, the staff kept their cool which led to guys on the floor also keeping composure. Very satisfying win.

End of semester. No band. Christmas parties. Small crowd

Went cruise barfs and bytes since the EL Aye Tech trolls are absent. The usual Name game crap, nothing worth anyone’s time.

I had planned to go there for amusement but may not now. I bet they did not mention that when the game was over we were called something they were not "WINNER". That being said, the Tech fans we interacted with could not have been more gracious to the group I was with. What you read on social media does not always represent the fan base as a group.

Don't sleep on SLU, they gave a good UCF team all they could handle last night.

Well, that's 3 of the last 4. Guess they will stop playing us now.

It is actually 4 of 5. We have won both home games and 2 of 3 in Ruston since series has been renewed. All of the games have been exciting which is what you expect. One thing that deserves mention that I have not seen yet is the defense of Marquetti. He guarded Boykin the whole night and held him to eight points. Boykin is the guy who had seven threes against us in the Dome last year. Marquetti is turning out to be a key guy for us on both ends of the floor.

I was 1 the last time polly tech went to the dance ... But that game is our Superbowl

People that went to the game know the Tech guys wanted this one bad. After all we had beaten them last season. Tech players were gracious in post game hand shakes but you could tell on their face that they were very disappointed.

Loved the way we battled through some adversity at the end (officials/no Stroman). Stroman is key to this team but Marquetti may turn out to be something extra special. Have been very impressed with his play the last few weeks. What can you say about Gant? Smooth as silk and dominant at the same time. Looking forward to Saturday and here’s to hoping for a special season.

Wow, Congrats Cajuns! Now that was a good ole fashioned ___ kicking. Y’all dominated from tip...Dawgs we’re simply outplayed, out hustled & had no sense of urgency. Was hoping Lady Techster coach would take over 2nd half. Good finish for Cajuns as Dawgs started to battle back...great sign for your squad

Good effort by the Techsters in coming back at the end.

Meh, beat a average team we should have beaten even worse. NBD.

[CajunRebel]

This was such a big win for us. We always talk about how hard it is to win away games in college basketball. LaTech is something like 91-6 at home over the past few years. And for us to go in there, dominate a solid team from the start, and fight off a late rally + bad officiating is huge.

Time to get excited about this team. We have the best basketball team in Louisiana. Time for Cajun Nation to wake up and start giving this team the support it deserves. This Saturday, show up and be loud.
