MBB Final: Louisiana 66, USM 45

[Cajunsmike]

That’s correct we beat a CUSA team. Colleges United Saving their Ars.

Cajuns played very poorly on offense most of the night in my view. Encouraging in that a road blowout against a CUSA team still happens despite that. Too many missed shots near goal, granted probably more fouls occurred than were called. Still, too many turnovers and missed free throws to be successful against a quality opponent. Having said all that the Cajuns defense was OUTSTANDING. Rebounding was a positive as well. Virtually all the loose balls wound up in Cajun hands. Those things will travel and lead to lots of victories.

CBS Sports preseason
212. Southern Miss: Jaron Pierre could well sneak onto C-USA's second team by March. It's easy to fall prey to the idea that teams that finished 310th or 280th or 172nd in a predictive metric will be within 10-20 spots of that year over year, but it's important to shake up expectations. So I'll ride with this (272 at Torvik last season) team making a hop.

FWIW...
Ohio State played tonight. Used 11 players, Cedric wasn’t one of them.
Wilson started and scored 4 points for TTU in a blowout of Grambling.

[UL_Cajuns]

This team is good very good.

[Million$Mullet]

This team is good very good.

We have the potential to be very good. USM is very bad though.

[CajunEXPRESS]

USM isn’t it very good team based on their past few years. Single digit win totals over the last few years. I’m fine taking some candy from the USM baby eaglets.

[HOUCajun]

We were 1 point favorites going in? 21 points is a bunch

[ZoomZoom]

Hard to $#$&* about a 21 point win on the road. We all feel it should of been more, but 21 is a solid number.

[BeauCajun]

Nice. 1-0 in CUSA. Wait…

Actually USM is 0-1 in SBC.

Death in Cedric’s family. He was not available

Condolences to the family. Tough start for Cedric, but he can handle it.

[NOCajun]

Ok, I'm going to ask the question: Are the CAJUNS that good, or is usm that BAD??

[TravlnCajun]

General opinion, Golden Eagles bad, Cajuns can probably play better on offense. But will they?

[NewsCopy]

The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns used a late run to blow open a competitive game against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles to improve to 2-0 this season.
