2005-06 Basketball Preview

[RaginRash]

Nice jump shot.

Turbine, help us out by captioning the pics! I have no idea who this guy shooting is. Thanks for the great pics!

[CajunAmos]

Last jump shot (#5) is Lucian Pesoli, the transfer from Long Beach State.

[BeauCajun]

Is that Rhett Hebert covering the inbounds pass??

Yep Redbug, our very own.

For those who bump into Rhett, give him some encouragement. He had about 5 feet of water in his home in Henry and the family is trying to cope with the situation. His dad is also the school superintendent in Vermilion Parish and is trying to get our 7 affected schools up and running again.

Will this be good for the game? Check it out!

"The Sun Belt Conference announced today new divisions and a new format for the Sun Belt Tournament, starting in 2006-07. The tournament shuffle will award first-round byes to the top team in each division, and one "wild card" as the next-best team in the conference. The first rounds will be played at campus sites. The divisional alignment will feature Arkansas State, Arkansas-Little Rock, Denver, Louisiana-LOUISIANA -Monroe and New Orleans in one western division, and Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Middle Tennessee State, South Alabama, Troy and Western Kentucky in an eastern division, though the divisions haven't yet been named.

[CajunAmos]

For those interested, I've heard that the mens team will be scrimmaging against Southeastern this Saturday, November 5th, at 11am.

[weareLOUISIANA]

Scrimmage is CLOSED to the public. Only teams, coaches, basketball staff and referees are allowed.

[Turbine]

Scrimmage is CLOSED to the public. Only teams, coaches, basketball staff and referees are allowed.

Yep I tried to go take pictures the last 2 days and the doors are LOCKED

[CajunGuru]

Scrimmage is CLOSED to the public. Only teams, coaches, basketball staff and referees are allowed.

Why?This is not the beginning of conference play, there is no need to close the doors to the public.This would have been a great opportunity to build support in this community.Please don't suggest there is a concern of someone scouting or filming this scrimmage.There will be plenty of people scouting and filming the Cajuns the first week of the season.It will be no secret as to what the Cajuns plan to do on the court when the season starts.
