Podcast: We're Talkin Ragin' Cajuns Basketball 01-10-2023

Totally agree with you #southalsucks. I am just saying I have watched Samuel play quite a bit this year and he can match up defensively against JB. I hope JB schools him, but I think USA will try to matchup man to man vs JB because Samuel is 7'0 260 and is a walking double double machine. The good news he does not have a ton of help and I think we are deeper and better as a team, but Samuel is strong enough and athletic enough to matchup with JB, meaning we are going to have to get scoring from somewhere else on the court, but since they will not be double teaming him often, our guys are going to have to create their own shots and we have not been great at that, with the exception of Lewis and Fulks.

This is however a game that Lewis can really shine. I don't think they will have a guy who can matchup well vs him and it should leave him open for a number of easy baskets.

South Alabama is also inconsistent on the defensive end. Some games they do well there while in others they seem to struggle stopping people. I guess you could say the same thing about the Cajuns however. In our case, it seems to be a home and away thing. It will be interesting to see how we do defensively this weekend. Tonight, we will have to play it for over 20 seconds on most possessions before the Warhawks take a shot. For a team that likes to control pace, they don't turn it over much. Therefore limiting them to one shot and keeping our turnovers down will be keys to victory. I know the discussion was somewhat on South Alabama. However, we don't play them until Saturday. Focus needs to be on ULM. I know you guys will say that is a comment for players and coaches. There is something to the collective mindset however.
