Final. Louisiana 70, Troy 90

You will never have a fixed consistent game time across the season with a TV contract - it’s one or the other, correct?

Correct but you don't need a TV contract to be on TV. Just schedule tough.

Every road came can be on TV and every home game can be attended in person at a fixed time to maximize attendance.

Valdes knows how to play the game which is more than I can say for just about our entire team. He was crafty with the ball inside and knew how to get foul calls but was very good distributing the ball as well. Like I said, I was impressed. I will pull for them outside of the cajuns moving forward.

I agree. His court vision and basketball IQ was impressive

Since we're talking about TV exposure, UL needs to change its uniforms to LOUISIANA on the road and Ragin Cajuns at home. We do it ass-backwards and it makes no sense. We need the LOUISIANA name out there for greater exposure and lose a great opportunity when we wear Ragin Cajuns on the road.

From my perspective, the Cajuns played mostly good basketball. They stayed around the 50-percent mark shooting until the final 10 minutes or so. However, their lack of size killed them, especially on the rebounding front. Troy played as perfect of a game as you'll see this season. Hard to beat a team that executes everything as well as they do.

Attention to detail is what sticks out to me. Yeah Troy was big but we over pursue to one side on defense and quick ball reversal by the other team puts us completely out of position to guard AND THEN block out. STM for the most part is always a smaller team. You’ll never see them get out rebounded 42-19, 18 of those 42 being offensive rebounds for Troy. The Cajuns are playing hard but more times than not they are out of position and good ball moving teams like Troy will make us pay every time. It seems like when shots go up they are still running towards the opposing team instead of finding a middle ground and turning around to block out. Just my non expert opinion.

We struggle stopping penetration which causes another defender to help which leaves someone open. Teams drive on us, pass out, then we start chasing the ball--good teams such as Troy will make 2 - 3 additional passes and get wide open shots.

Like I said, we are not a smart team. However, Troy was no bigger than we were. We actually matched up really well. They crashed the offensive boards really well. They even sent one of the gingers to rebound on outside shots. Once they got that initial either switch on defense or the pick and roll they were off to the races and could collapse the defense all they wanted.

looks like an expert recitation to me - if Danny Broussard does it, it’s probably on point
