The Book: 2002-2003 Basketball (Ragin'Cajuns)

[CajunRebel]

I agree with that NMSU game. That was a hell of a game. But I still don't think it compares to last night.

cajun express -- Im sorry, take your time. These posts aren't going anywhere. Baby steps.

One more thing. Why don't they fold down the bleachers behind the student section? There would'nt be much of a problem filling them. The only reason I can see is that they are too lazy to pick up the hockey wall. Is there an "insider" with some "insights" on this?

Forget the NCAAs, the Ragin' Cajuns should be able to crash the Bracket Buster in two weeks. The Sun Belt's best team all year avenged only conference loss with victory over South Alabama -- their 18th straight victory in the Cajundome and fifth straight win overall. Western Kentucky got the preseason nod as team to beat, but injuries have left the Hilltoppers vulnerable even at home in the Sun Belt tournament. The Cajuns lost to WKU in the conference tourney final last year. Michael Southall is playing his best basketball of the season, scoring a career-high 24 against South Alabama, while senior guard Brad Boyd averages over 17 a game.

LAFAYETTE — There are no guarantees.

When Louisiana met the New Orleans Privateers at Lakefront Arena on Jan. 11, the Ragin’ Cajuns figured they’d have Brad Boyd on hand as they tried to rebound from a Jan. 9 road loss at South Alabama.

But coach Jessie Evans’ squad discovered on game day that Boyd had been injured in an automobile accident and would be out of action until he healed.

The Cajuns won 78-71, anyway, and still have yet to lose another Sun Belt Conference contest.

When the Cajuns hosted UNO last Saturday before a season-high 8,121 fans in the Cajundome, they had every reason to expect Boyd would be a big part of protecting a homecourt winning streak that had reached 18 straight games.

They had just dusted off South Alabama 67-60 on Thursday to avenge their lone conference loss, and it was time to keep the momentum going.

This time, Boyd was on the court, but absent from the scoreboard until midway through the second half.

They keep them folded in because of the temporary seats that the pull up right to the baseline. I think that's a better setup because the students are much closer to the court that way.

Ice Thugs on the death watch, next year we can have those seats removed, add about 200 sideline seats, and in addition pull out the stands for our students.

Jesse thanks for the memories.

Can't wait, that will be great!

Yeah, I like how they are closer too. However, if you look at it (and if you removed the wall), you can still fold the bleachers down at least most of the way behind the other temporary ones. I dont know, I don't think thats TOO much to ask is it?

LAFAYETTE — UL’s Ragin’ Cajun basketball squad will be looking to finish up a highly-successful homestand tonight.

How successful?

If the Cajuns win tonight’s 7:05 p.m. Sun Belt Conference contest against Denver at the Cajundome, they’ll lock up no worse than a number two seed for the postseason league tournament — three weeks in advance.

They’ll also put themselves one win away from possibly locking up the West Division title, something that could happen as early as Saturday when Louisiana travels to meet New Mexico State.

The Cajuns (16-6, 8-1) are comfortably ahead of the rest of the West, with only NMSU (6-4) within shouting distance. The rest of the West all have at least six losses, including the Pioneer squad (12-12, 4-6) that limps into the ‘Dome tonight on a six-game losing streak.
