TCU -18 vs Louisiana Basketball

[cajuns80]

Was Dou and Brock a package deal? I think we got the wool pulled over our eyes with that one. Juco ball is not D1. This guy is not a good team player right now.

Well it was Dou and the Caldwell kid who tore his ACL as the package deal with Morris

The direction of the program feels more like year 1 than year 10

Gueye was playing his first game against that level of competition and it showed, remember this guy has only been playing basketball a couple of years. Coaches can use that game film as a teaching moment, if we are still seeing that type of play mid to late season then there is something to gripe about. He didn’t come out of nowhere with Morris. There was plenty of game film, he was around #60 in JUCO rankings last year, had offers from Texas Tech, OK St., Arkansas, and St. John’s.

Thank God we got him. So, what your saying is, he will dominate the SBC.

I’m saying that as I have watched the level of his competition progress from Loyola to McNeese to TCU I have seen his game exposed more and that is almost somewhat to be expected with his background and quick development. He has talent and I hope to see him progress. As far as your comment about him not being a team player he did try to do way too much on his own last night but as poorly as he played he still led the team in assists.

I really don't think we have been watching the sames games. If he has to play significant minutes for us, we are real trouble. Once again, Marlin swings and misses with inside players. Between Lafayette and Gueyue, we are in for some long nights in the rebounding department. Let's all hope Tirus Smith is as good as some people think he is.

[SlickRick]

So....what is the timetable to get our hurt guys back? Will it be before conference play?

[CajunFan3406]

What does starts have to do with it? He's been hurt several times since he's been here.

A lot actually. Considering he was only behind Gant and Stroman in that department last year. Which is also why I posted his total minutes played as well as the amount of games he played as a freshman (all of them). An "injury prone" player would not be able to do that. If you would have said that he gets dinged up occasionally, I could see your point. But let's not make this guy out to be like AD during his Pelicans tenure, THAT was injury prone.

[CajunNation]

I just wanna give respect to KJ for taking one for the team last night.

Ya know, the propaganda BS really p(i)ssed me off. I said what I had to say about it.
But now, I'm just sad. Disappointed in where we are. Regardless of circumstances, we're just in a major rut. Injuries, roster overhaul, scheduling struggles... It's just bad.

Perpetual purgatory. I don't care whose fault it is at this point. I'm just sick and tired of it.

It does feel like we're on a purgatory roll in basketball. Told my wife I'm thankful for her company after the McNeese game. It's kind of like baseball last year...injuries and fought trying to get over the .500 hump for the longest. Basketball however, .500 may be a dream with the 8 we have. Smith can be great, but he's one player.

We'll keep going to the games. My disappointment in UL hoops is no longer gender specific.

Look at the bright side, anything can happen in the SBC tournament. Sadly, that’s the underdog’s view.

I know these guys are playing a much lower level, but a heads up about a few former Cajuns:

Kadavion Evans is averaging 17.8 points 6.4 rebounds and 4 assists a game at LSU Shreveport

Jordan Adebutu is averaging 6 points per game 2 rebounds and 1.25 assist per game at LSU Alexandria

Jeremy Hayes, I can't find any stats on him at Angelo State a ___ school

Jerekus Davis--Averaging 13 points, 6 rebounds for UT-Tyler Basketball

Eli Mounton--Can't find any stats on him for LSU-E basketball

RJ Gladney--Can not find any stats for RJ at Angelo State

Roydell Brown--Averaging 7.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game at McNeese

Justin Miller--Averaging 9 points and 3 rebounds per game at Detroit Mercy

Elijah McCoy--Can not find any statistics for him at Cal Poly Pomona

I know these guys were at best roll players at UL, but man we could use some bodies right now.

Thought K. Evans had a substantial back injury that caused him to not be able to play basketball anymore???
