Mason Aucoin while being a Walkon is probably light years ahead of Lafayette and Spenkuch right now. While I would much rather have other players than Aucoin, the fact that he is available is good news. He is a player that won't hurt the team. He has improved year after year as a walkon. As a Freshman he played 8 games and only 23 minutes averaging 2.9 PPG, as a Sophomore he increased that to 12 games and 38 total minutes and averaged 3.2 PPG and finally as a Junior he played in 12 games and 50 minutes and averaged 4.2 PPG. He is a career 32% 3 point shooter and a career 70% FT shooter. To me depending on the situation (big vs big, where Lafayette makes more sense), I would much rather have Aucoin in the game right now vs either Lafayette or Spenkuch.

Just my opinion.

Thanks . As I stated before I am the casual basketball fan. To put it in perspective my interst is, football/baseball (same ) then softball and mens basketball. Info is good. Thanks

Hardy is dressing out, he may not play though

Awesome to hear, his addressing of the team must have gone a long way.

If we can get Hardy, Wesley and Aucoin back, it only helps the team, with Smith getting healthy soon.

I know they aren't going to be great, but we need all the healthy bodies we can get.

[CajunGrad16]

Wesley is in.

[RaginDave]

Lafayette is playing really well tonight. Very good rebounding and has 1 basket already so far. I think he has 3 boards.

Wilson/Temple and Julien are good young players.

[Million$Mullet]

This is really bad basketball by both teams

[Million$Mullet]

Youngstown state is 10-34 from the field and is up by 3 at the half. Turrible

Are you sure he’s getting healthy soon. I thought he was getting a ‘procedure ‘. Never a sign of soon IMO.

[RaginDave]

I thought I heard Smith was going to be available soon, I could be wrong?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Yeah I heard that then I thought I read about a procedure. Hope he’s back asap for sure

[RaginDave]

You probably know more than I do, so you are probably right.

[CajunEXPRESS]

All I know is we need to a better job of running our offense.

[RaginDave]

I'm glad to see Calvin Temple has his name on his jersey......LOL.

Finally

[RaginDave]

The good news is they can't shoot.
