Dillard vs Cajuns WBB

[CajunEXPRESS]

Again, basketball men or women isn't a decade rebuild. It's 2-3 years. This is year 6. Hell there’s a few on here who won’t give Napier a full year.

I just hate the fact that Cajun fans come on here and bash the woman's coach, or any coach that is part of cajun nation. Be positive and support. That's all folks

I like your school spirit, but at the same time, this isn't a charity. We invest money into these programs and expect returns.

Oh, and Dillard is a NAIA school; not Division 2. They aren't even part of the NCAA. So, that makes it two years in a row losing to a NAIA school.

I believe NAIA has no athletic schollys

Many NAIA schools give scholarships as none have football. Not sure if Dillard gives any though.

[ULvictory]

Yeah, that makes our loss even worse than it already was LOL

Wrong. Another one making stuff up to try and cast the situation in the worst possible light.

NAIA is essentially equivalent to NCAA D2. Most players are on partial athletic scholarships at these schools, including Dillard. A few get full rides, and a few walk on.

Yester day/year they were better than a D1.

[cajun4life]

Wrong. If you're gonna bash them, at least get your facts straight instead of just spouting unverified misinformation.

One is pregnant, two are hurt, and one is a transfer and will be eligible at the semester break.

None of them are academically ineligible.

Am I bashing them? Stating that losing to a program who is three levels in competition is bashing them?

They win games and that doesn’t mean we are where we need to be as a program. We need more length and athleticism in order to compete with the better regional programs. Am I wrong? Or did we all of a sudden become this championship level team?

The Sun Belt is a mediocre league and we are middle of the pack during our best runs. Or do I have my facts wrong again?

I have no doubt that those girls work hard and play hard. We just aren’t good enough to beat the better programs. Especially if we are losing to DILLARD!!!!

They can offer 6 scholarships which I bet they give out 12 particles and backfill with tops. Does not change the fact we are losing to lower division teams, Stockley losing to North bama is still a black eye on the football program 20 something years later.

I'm not excusing the loss(es) to Dillard. It's terrible, and I'm sure everyone in the program is properly embarrassed. I am saying that piling on with info you don't even know is true isn't really helpful.

[VObserver]

How many of you on hear that are making negative comments actually go to the games to see for your self? or do you just wait to see if they lose to make dumb _____ statements?

I go to most home games. I have not yet been to one this year; but losing to an NAIA school is totally unacceptable, this year or any other.

That being said; despite the number of wins Brodhead has, his teams cannot compete against the better teams in our conference. He either can't or doesn't recruit players who can compete at that level. We do not have and have not had long, athletic guards; the post players we have had who could play were also undersized and could not handle the larger girls that our better peers have.

Brodhead's girls play hard and they are fun to watch; but the fact is the team is not very good. Not that that is much of a surprise; except for Kelley Hall's last 2 or 3 teams, we have never been very good.

The new administration is expecting fans to pay more and be more committed. Coaches should be held to a higher standards than the previous administration as well.
