Dillard vs Cajuns WBB

[leeman]

Did we REALLY just lose to Dillard in WBB? WOW

you think it's hard being a fan?..Can you imagine being a coach? I'm going to let it ride and give them a chance. they are a young team and I think they can get it together. Geaux Cajuns!

What I'm hoping is their play will improve as they get some experience playing with each other. They are playing with 8 players right now, and out of the top seven three are true freshmen, one is a red-shirt freshman, and three are sophomores. The eighth is a junior JUCO transfer.

It does not matter you are a D1 scholarship player and got beat by a team of walkons

Yep.....

I'm sure this is on Maggard's radar now. Cannot see why it would not be. Has had the full gambit of excuses, some very plausible, but there isn't one for being owned two years in a row by a D-2 program. Much less in your own building in front of potential future supporters. And on regional television just for extra style points

Youth? So in 4 years we can expect to beat a Dillard?

Why are we playing with 8 players? Women program gets 14 scholarships. Six too injured to play? That’s crazy.

Didn’t someone say the Gary made his own bed with only being able to free 8? Forgive me if I’m wrong. Just remember hearing or reading that. It’s bizzare.

I can assure you Dr. Maggard is very disappointed in the loss today. However, nothing can be done about this in the short term as Coach Brodhead signed an extension recently. Up to he and his staff to have the team work to improve so as things like today don't happen again.

Looked it up and see that WBB gets 15 scholarships. Why do we only have 12 players in the roster?

That's ridiculous man should be shipped the min the clock hit zero in your 2nd loss to a D2 school. We once again reward mediocrity.

Don't get it wrong I like Gary as a person I really do but as a coach he has no value at this university IMO.

.........I remember the last year my daughter played at Loyola....beat SLC, McN, almost Lamar and beat Dillard all on the road....Loyola went to the National tourney and there isn't that much difference.......but there should be and all the staff and team know it......however sometimes a Dillard can get kids that don't academically qualify that are better ball players than whom we sign! Now that is huge!

I was at much of game today. Biggest problem the team has is defensively. Way too many open looks given up. I think communication may have been an issue as rotations seemed late. Too many turnovers as well due to trying to force it into the top pf the key against the zone. Dillard hit four straight long threes at the beginning of the fourth quarter. That seemed to sap the confidence of the Cajuns and they played tight the rest of the way.
