Cajuns Basketball

Agree on the officiating, however, I disagree on finally playing a team with a pulse. The early season schedule has been surprisingly good competition with the exception of Centenary. However the next stretch of games are not very challenging.

Harvard Wins:
Morehouse
Elon
Northeastern
Siena
Loyola-Illinois (not chicago)

ETSU Wins:
Emory & Henry
Little Rock
Elon

LaTech Wins:
George Mason
Stetson
ULM
Arkie State (by 3)
Central Baptist College

SMU Wins:
Texas A&M Commerce
Evansville
Lamar

Drake Wins:
Tarleton State
Buffalo
Wyoming
Wofford
IUPUI
Louisiana

We have played nobody. I'm not sure how anyone can possibly think that. And I didn't even list the losses of these teams. There are a few doozies...

Does anyone know if the game against Loyola on Tuesday is considered exhibition? It doesn’t indicate this on our website, but on Loyola’s all D1 games are listed as exhibition.

It is an exhibition for Loyola (does not count for them). It is not an exhibition for us.

La Tech has also beaten Samford, favored to win their league. We play them soon. Harvard lost a close game to Fordham today. No doubt Drake is best team we have played. Hopefully this game helps prepares team for conference play. Having watched almost every second of all the games so far, the encouraging thing is the team keeps fighting and playing hard regardless of the circumstances. Room for improvement comes in minimizing damage that occurs in a lull almost every game. You are going to hit a cold spell almost every game but you can’t let that affect your defense. Generally that does not last too long when it does but it was a problem yesterday. That was not due to effort but getting caught in bad defensive position from poor execution on offense.

The Loyola team Tech beat was the one from Chicago according to schedule I saw. La Tech has also beaten Samford, favored to win their league. We play them soon. Harvard lost a close game to Fordham today. We do play Texas later which is ranked in Top 10. No doubt Drake is best team we have played. Hopefully this game helps prepares team for conference play.

Folks, C'mon.. Finally played a team with a pulse a got slapped around. I don't want to hear "refs." Officiating is awful, everywhere, around the sports world. The team lost by 12, not 2.

You didn’t watch the game. You can’t comment. But seriously as bad as we shot from 3 in the first half and for most of the game really, it was the refs who dictated the flow of the game. They made some pretty tough calls going in drakes favor. I believe they were in the double bonus with 10 plus minutes left in the second half and we never hit the bonus. I think drake played a better game and overall were the better more polished team. In no way did they slap us around. A good team would have slapped us around by 40

That makes no sense. Aren’t we the D1 team?

. The Non D1 team traveling usually does not have the game count officially. The reason it counts for the home team is to punish it in case of a loss. Although rare, it does happen. Loyola has played Southern Miss and Southeastern Louisiana. In both cases, games were close until late in first half. Not surprisingly, those contests got away from Wolfpack in second half and they lost by over 20. They will be a better test than Centenary was on opening night as evidenced by their strong first half play vs USM and SLU.

Don’t even have one of our starters on the team playing yet . Without injury this team is sweet 16 pre-built.

We are LOUISIANA

Also, great second-half adjustments by coach MARLIN against Drake , too bad the referees didn’t help too much

So, you're predicting the team is going to be in the sweet 16 this year?

You watched the game while also watching the UL-Texas State football game?

[Million$Mullet]

You watched the game while also watching the UL-Texas State football game?

Yes I have more than one TV. It’s not unheard of to watch two games at once. I concentrated more on the basketball game as the football game was never in doubt to me.

[RaginDave]

You watched the game while also watching the UL-Texas State football game?

I watched both. I had my main TV in my living room on the football game and had my laptop on the basketball game. I had the sound on the football game until halftime and than switched it over the other way around once the game was completely a non issue in football.
