UL vs WKU

[ragin50]

_ Biggest bummer is that with the great run they had, they couldn't end the season with at least a .500 record. I wish they would have had to play in the 1st round. I have to believe they would have beaten any team that wasn't named WKU. _

Not with the way they played in the 2nd half. We got killed on the boards, didn't block out and gave up way too many offensive rebounds. And Thomas picked the wrong time to have his worst game.

well, 2 months ago I just wanted to see something in the 2nd half of the year to build on for next year. jj thomas, josh brown, andrews, mbamalu, bob marlin and another recruiting class, and I'd say we have plenty to build on and look forward to. cajun basketball in no doubt headed in the right direction.

Why is it that Western always wins vs. the Cajuns when it counts! At least if feels that way! I just hope WKU does not win out!

We did win a championship against them in Diddle...

So right,all of us on this board are true Cajun fans.We all have to admit the second half of the season was a very special ride.Especially living thru the Robert Lee era. Thank You Boyz!!

Bob Marlin thank you look forward to you bringing in your type of players.

I agree with you that we played really poorly, but WKU probably had something to do with that. We just seem to always have sub-par games against Western when they really count. They seem to bring out the worst in us most times we play them.

We won 11 straight games but went 0-1 when the season was truly on the line. This one hurt REAAALLLY bad. I am proud of the team and I do look forward to next season, but this one stings. With that said, on a serious note, when was the last time we won a game in the SBC tourny, I know it has been a VERY long time.

I do not think the Cajuns played terribly. Obviously they did not play their best game as they did not win. However the final margin was five points and this came against one of the most talented teams in the league, that does not indicate a very poor performance. Of course in no way was it good enough but after 11 in a row the breaks were bound to go against us at some point. The fouls on JJ and the shot that Josh Brown had go in and out were examples of the breaks going against us. Another frustrating part of the game was the Cajuns twice blocking shots with the ball deflecting right to a Topper near the goal. In my view it was not so much that the Cajuns were that bad but that WKU played that well in the 2nd half. As much as we don't like WKU, you have to respect them for their basketball accomplishments. I soon want to be hated by the rest of the league the way they are. By the way, assistant Coach Neil Hardin thanked the fans for the support in his post game comments. You can tell he meant those words and they will use that support on the recruiting trail.
