MBB Podcast Notes

[Cajunsmike]

Craig and I decided not to record a podcast this week as there was little pertinent analysis to provide. Shown below are comments I would make in regards to last week's game and tomorrow's contest

Ark State Game Notes
1) Nelson dominated game from start to finish. Cajuns could not stop him driving to rim, keep him off the glass, or attack the basket without him protecting it. He had 21 rebounds to Cajuns 24 overall. Also, 30 pts/2 blocks
2) Kobe Julien had poor game, perhaps due to nerves. His tough night had little impact on out come.
3) Officials lost control of game. Coach Z felt we were disrespected and was tossed. Mo had decent offensive game for us.

USA Game
1) Cajuns could not solve Jags zone. Hit a few threes but after being down 16 to 2, game never in doubt
2) Turned it over a few times trying to get it in middle of zone. Tried to get it too close to basket. Needed to get ball near free throw line more frequently. White scored in that scenario.
3) Did OK stopping 3’s but poor at defending rim. Jags hit
18 of 27 2 point shots. Ormiston and Dunning had good games for Jags as predicted

ULM Game
Contest is tomorrow night at 7:30. A victory allows Cajuns to play ODU Wednesday night at 7:30. Malik Willis, (No. 13) is the top inside guy and Tyrese Watson (No. 10) is their best guard. They have a limited bench and rarely play more than 7 guys. Their advantage against the Cajuns the first 2 games was their inside play. Rebounding may be key to game. Cajuns 3 guard offense with Thomas, Wright, and Garnett starting is something which may be new for the Warhawks to see.

Hopefully the season continues after tomorrow night. We all recognize the tough task beyond that. We also recognize the focus is moving to speculation on who our new head coach will be. In the event, we hire an assistant from a major program, an announcement could occur withing days after our season ends.

Love the notes

Thanks for the calming voice of dedication Mike.

Curious who you think wins this tournament. Know there isn’t a clear favorite, but have to believe USA and JMU have the advantage w/ the extra bye.

I still think ASU is the “best” team, but the whole league’s inconsistency seems to make it a coin flip.

I pick Troy simply because when I look at the contenders they have been slightly better on the road

Who have we interviewed?

Who have we interviewed?

I have heard some names but I don't know how accurate the information is. In deference to the process and Dr. Maggard, I will not share them. Others can provide any information they have in this regard.

I am taking Arkansas State. I think they can handle three games vs the two games the two top seeds have. I think the Red Wolves have the best team therefore they are my choice.

Only 4 SBC teams had winning records on the road. South Alabama, Arkansas State, Troy, and…your Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns.


Who had that on the Bingo card?

[Million$Mullet]

I think Troy or JMU will win. After that Arkansas state.

[RedTails]

Major kudos to y'all sticking with MBB talk throughout this season.

[ZoomZoom]

Due to circumstances, pulling for Troy. JMU is one of two SBC programs that have Rustonian type fan bases. Arkansas State, Kobi is finishing his career as a Dead Wolf. They spent good money getting players, hope they crash and burn.

USA, meh. Lost to ULM twice, won the ugly contest with UL Saturday.
