Cardinals steamroll Cajuns

[RaginFan2]

This team has been up and down all year but I'm not concerned. We should be ready for conference with everyone healthy and more chemistry. Sun Belt will be a little tougher this year, Middle Tennesse and Denver seem to have VERY good squads so we are going to have to step it up a notch.

Side note:
I really like what I saw from AMT in his limited playing time against McNeese. Any reason why he is not playing more. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of him.

My understanding is that is due to his defensive play.

I often have to wonder... Are we just a bad basketball state? I know schools in Louisiana have had good programs here and there, but with this being a football state it seems that basketball just takes a back seat... Some would say even to baseball.

We should improve once we get into conference. It does not get much easier than playing in the SBC.

Louisiana has had success in the world of college basketball. LSU, Cajuns, Tulane, Louisiana Tech have all won before. Pistol Pete, Bo Lamar and Shaq are a few of the stud college players to play in the state.

The biggest difference lately: The top players from the state (Monroe, Carter, Dunn, etc.) have left to play in the Big East, Big 12 and other conferences. Plus, the caliber of players has dipped recently. All factors in the state's struggles in college basketball for the past few years.

Like I say... there have been runs, but nothing ever consistent. As they say, Football is King.

I think you're right. But it is interesting that the 3 studs you named were all from out of state. That means we have to get some more top players from out of state!
