Basketball Strong Point Poll

[Cajun_RH]

This team plays basketball the way it should be played. They play hard on both ends of the court, they share the ball, they have depth, they play with poise and confidence, but most importantly they look like they're having a lot of fun. Its easy to go out and play at a high level when you have fin doing it.

Haha! I had the same thought...

Other thoughts: Coach Marlin. Momma.

Malik's answer was Coach Marlin. However, on the floor Bryce is an extension of the staff.

Jay also asked him: “Fill in the bank. ‘I like to BLANK a lot.’ “

Malik was like “mmm-naw I can’t answer that.” Lol.

I was thinking what a dumb question for a 20-yr old dude.

Defense and chemistry.

[Cajunsmike]

Looks like chemistry won the poll with defense a close second.

Perhaps instead of chemistry, which is subjective, we should have listed free throws. Tonight on the Big Fish show Jay said the Cajuns are 7-8 points ahead of most of their opponents because of exceptional free throwing by the team.

Interesting tidbit from the coach's show was the story of the 3 point shot at the halftime buzzer on Saturday. Apparently Bryce and the staff talked about what play to run while the Troy player was setting up for his FT. Gant was the trailer and received a handoff pass after the ball was quickly brought up court. Even though the shot was banked in, everyone being on the same page resulted in him getting an open look. That had to be satisfying to the coaches and the team.
