Final: Louisiana 75, Samford 58

[UL_Cajuns]

Barely 1000 fans at the game on a Saturday night… 9-1

It is going to take a while to get them back after years of bad basketball. This team is really good and fun to watch. Let’s Spread the word!
Announced attendance 2643

Just a quick comment. We played Samford last night and there was close to the 2600 announced in attendance. This team is coming along much better than I expected. Handled the full court pressure very well. Nice to see we don’t have to depend on JB to be successful.

Not a true statement

You were impressed watching odu last night squeak by 2-7 Gardner webb by 44-43?

I was impressed with their athleticism. Did you watch the game, or just looked at the box score? I noticed you didn't mention Southern Miss, you know the team sitting at the top of the standings. I mentioned them as well. I said we are not good defensively, although the second half the Cajuns played better. My comments are supported by the fact the Cajuns are second to last in the SBC in scoring defense.

2600+ announced.

Yep no doubt, But it seemed like a lot less. The team will be 10-2 going into CONF… The fans gotta come out and support. #GeauxCajuns

It was a lot less than 2600. Probably closer to 1k in actual attendance. No students at all.

SAMFORD def did some good things… This years team has a shot to go dancing… Chemistry is key, and they play with it. Shooters and the best big in the CONF, and 2022 BRIAN HAMILTON in LEWIS. #GeauxCAJUNS

They are definitely a good shooting team. My comments were concerning are lack of awareness at times defensively and that we need to improve to have a shot at winning the conference. There is a reason we sit second to last in conference in scoring defense.

Hey man all I’m saying is they could have all the talent in the world. Doesn’t make them a good team. Agreed our defense played a lot better in the second half. A lot of the defensive breakdowns in the first half had more to do with the type of team Samford is. They are tough to defend regardless of talent. We made halftime adjustments and shut down their offensive flow in the second. And to answer your question, no I didn’t watch the odu game as it was played as the same time as ours. So did you just look at our boxscore and look at our stats since you watched the odu game?

[Cajunsmike]

I watched it Mike, and I'm not disputing anything you have stated. Samford may be a good shooting team, but outside of 3 or 4 players they are not very athletic in comparison to the top of the SBC. I watched a little ODU and USM tonight. Samford isn't close to either in talent.

Those will be two of our toughest opponents in conference. Note USM is our first conference opponent at home on January 5. I wish that game were a little later so as students could be back in school. Students helped create the positive atmosphere against La Tech and it would be good to have that against a tough opponent.

[Cajunsmike]

When will the Cajuns play a good team? These pad the stats games are gonna keep Marlin around.

Conference play will determine the future of the program. Non conference at our level is to help us prepare for that. I think La Tech and Drake are good teams we have played to date. On December 21 we play at Texas.
