Alway prefer going out with a win ... or is it going in with a win.

For the 2nd year in a row, the Cajuns are limping into the tournament and again it is very unfortunate, because this team has/had the talent to win the conference regular season and tournament. But unfortunately they are now down 2 starters.

As I had mentioned previously Orial Filet Giminez who was 16-4 in singles last season has not played one match this season, he was projected to be the #2 or #3 starter this year and has been out all season. Now Alexandro Sanchez Gonzales who was 15-4 as a starter at #2 last season and has played #1 this year, but struggled at that position has not played the last 3 matches.

Had we had him I truly believe we would have won vs USM and Georgia State and finished 7-1 and probably had been the #1 or #2 seed.
