MBB Final: Louisiana 88, USA 79

[CajunVic]

Fun game. Don’t think we win this one earlier in year. Hosanna, in his own way, is impacting our game as Lewis contributed last year. Fun to watch him. I still get nervous when he dribbles. But he is a presence in the paint now.

H is a presence and a present everywhere he goes.

Nicely played funny stuff right there.

Three in a row on the road

Next six at home?

I could have said Bo Lamar range, but some of the youngsters are more likely to know Clark. Was several feet off the arc, to the right of center. Nobody expected it.

Yeah, 6 at home, 5 conference and the MAC challenge game on a Sunday PM.

I must give kudos to the staff and Hosanna. Hosanna today isn’t the same guy we saw at the start of the season. The work put in is obvious.

I believe this is only the 3rd game all year that we out rebounded an opponent. When we stop giving them second and third chances we become kinda dangerous.

USA ranked 13th in the league in rebounding. At least twice we picked up 3 offensive boards on one trip. One of their guys is called “Smurf”, might not be a coincidence.

Really helps our shooters when they have to worry about the big man inside. Good to see Kitenge play 35 minutes.

He got 35 minutes?! Wow. Good.
Now we just need Carencro Joe to find some consistency.

Good win. 4 in double figures. Joe and Koby over 20. Fulks had a rough game(2/8 shooting 4 assists 6 turnovers) and we still won on the road.

The threat of the Fulks drive helps keep the defense spread out. Helps shooters and Ketenge. Nice win for the Fightin Jens

[CajunVic]

Pound for pound, Fulks may be one of the most productive contributor on this team.

MAT made me look. Carencro Joe with a quiet 22/9 game.
Four guys in double figures.

Yea, had 21 in the second half.

But he’s up and down from game to game, half to half. Need to know we can rely on him. When he’s making shots, the offense is totally different. Energy on the team as well.

Agree.

The last few games the guys are playing defense well when the opposition makes their run.

Granted, Texas State cut a 30+ lead to under 20 at the horn. But up 30 something and under 5, that can be a case of let’s go home, this is done. So not that concerning.

He is .6 of a rebound from averaging a double/double.

You may be right. Dude is fearless taking it to the rack too.

[ManAboutTown]

He is .6 of a rebound from averaging a double/double. Focus on Facebook stalking the coach's wife.

Averages have nothing to do with consistency.

Next six at home?

The next six are at home, 5 of them conference games. Being at home is no guarantee of success however. Road wins become more common at this time of year. The team still needs to play well in order to have success. Ark State is next opponent. Cajuns took away their 3 ball last game. They will adjust for Thursday’s game. Today was a significant victory. Although the Cajuns are one of several teams tied for fifth place, the Cajuns are only one of 2 teams with 3 road victories in league play. The other is App State and they are in first place. Note the Cajuns are shown in fifth place in league standings despite being tied with several other clubs. That is because they have the best overall record. That is not solely due to 2 non D1 games. Most of the teams in the league have done the same and some have played 3 non D1 opponents.
