Cajuns down 22 with 8 min left. I'm going to bed

We've got it down to 20. Might want to wake up.

Ugly night on the road for the SBC. Jacksonville St beats USA 70-52, Cajuns game and Texas is up early 25-4 on Texas State. Ooooof

Not unexpected. The SBC has been a bad basketball league for a long time.

They might come back.

They might come back.

Down 24!

Even Georgia State, the darling of the league in the 10’s, has fallen off.

With 14 teams now, it’s like poker. Does an AD raise the ante pushing money in a pot holding a hand with an <8% chance, and nobody is folding.

And the rail is rattling to be bold.

Why is Samford a better team. Why are they quicker and discipline.

Because we aren’t a good basketball program and haven’t been for 20 years. We had a flash in the pan season with an NBA talent to win a bad league last year. Previously, 8 years before, the same thing happened. We are bad.

Really??
Embarrassing loss to a small private school with approximately 5K student head count.
I’ve been attending Ragin Cajun basketball games for 35 years.
Unbelievable!

[ManAboutTown]

5k enrollment and their student participation dwarfed ours lol

We've established the ceiling for the Sunbelt..

Fall ass backwards into a March madness berth, and once a decade someone makes a buzzer beater to reach the Round of 32

Why bother following this crap?

UL loves mediocrity. In football and basketball. As long as we squeak out .500, we are golden.

And we extended the contract for Coach?
This program has two invitations to the NCAA tournament in 13 years and we didn’t win.
