MBB Final: Cajuns 75, Dogs 71

[ZoomZoom]

First Saturday night game of the year. Hopefully we have a big crowd. This team deserves it.

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.

Didn’t win FG, 3 PT, or FT % and still won... on the road.

We did hit more 3's overall though and hit the offensive boards hard to get back some of those misses to create second chance points. Outrebounding a team with less turnovers and more assists shows me that we likely controlled the game.

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

[CajunEXPRESS]

Yeah that’s it our final 4.

Oh wait they’ve been not getting a chance for a final 4 shot for how many decades

[ZoomZoom]

Lord, they must have gotten in the vet's drug cabinet. You know, the vet that takes care of...oh wait, never mind

Meth n mobile home more likely option.

Back when several state universities renovated or built arenas, a few _____d themselves with multiple road games for one with LSU at home to open their arenas. El Aye Tech (they like that as much as we like Lafayette) opened the Thomas Assembly center with a double header loss...women lost to the Cheryl Miller lead USC, then the men lost to the Cajuns. Oh what joy that was to see first hand. But we're not part of their history or important. Hug a nut mutts.

Maybe Maggard will introduce the new fb head coach at halftime Saturday night

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.

4 of last 5. 2-1 on road; 2-0 @ home

Correctomundo!

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.
