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

  1. Default Ragin’ Cajuns demolish North Texas

    Advertiser

    DENTON, Texas — Louisiana's men’s basketball team opened Thursday’s game with a 10-0 run and never looked back in dominating North Texas’ Mean Green 89-58 in a Sun Belt Conference contest here Thursday night.

    The win was the Cajuns’ third straight overall and fourth straight in SBC play, and kept UL Lafayette (13-6, 5-1) in sole possession of first place in the West Division. It also avenged a 78-59 loss to UNT last season and was the largest margin of victory in a Sun Belt game since a 112-66 win over Texas-Pan American in 1998. North Texas, meanwhile, dropped its sixth straight conference game and remained winless at home in Sun Belt play.

    Six players scored in double figures for the Cajuns led by Anthony Johnson’s 18 points off the bench. Michael Southall had 15 points, Robert Jupiter 12, Brad Boyd and Laurie Bridges 11 and Cedric Williams 10. Southall also had eight rebounds and four blocks.

  8. UL Basketball Cajuns take command of SBC West

    Advertiser-Dan McDonald

    LAFAYETTE — It’s an enviable position that Louisiana's men’s basketball squad finds itself at the halfway point of the Sun Belt Conference season.

    The Ragin’ Cajuns have played more road games than home games through seven league outings, yet still find themselves three games ahead in the loss column on every team in the Sun Belt’s West Division.

    And, the Cajuns open a home stretch in the Cajundome this week, one that will eventually include three games in a six-day period.

    “You have to like the position we’re in,” Cajun coach Jessie Evans said. “But we’ve been in this position before. We have to keep taking care of business.”

    Louisiana showed that it meant business in a weekend road trip to North Texas and Denver, winning those two games by a combined 46 points. A shockingly easy 89-58 win over UNT on Thursday came two days before the Cajuns led Denver by 23 points in the closing stages on the way to a 95-80 win.

    Cajuns hold off Privateers to run streak to 19

    LAFAYETTE — This streaking business is getting harder all the time, but it’s worth the effort.

    Louisiana needed overtime to hold off the New Orleans Privateers 79-75 Saturday night before a season-high 8,121 fans at the Cajundome, running its homecourt victory streak to 19 in a row.

    Brad Boyd didn’t score until 10:05 remained in regulation, but he finished with 15 including a clinching 5-of-6 free throws at the end of the extra period as the Ragin’ Cajuns improved to 16-6 overall and 8-1 in the Sun Belt Conference.

    Sophomore center Michael Southall was a tower of power in the win, playing just short of the full 45 minutes and finishing with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

    New Orleans (12-10, 5-6) was led by 2002 Sun Belt Player of the Year Hector Romero, who had 20 points and 10 rebounds but failed to score in overtime.

    “The crowd was excellent,” Cajun coach Jessie Evans said. “We fed off of them a lot in the second half, and they played a huge part in this win.

    “We weren’t quite sure they were getting their money’s worth, so we played an extra five minutes.”

  14. UL Basketball Home WINS: 19-Straight

    A chance to witness 19 straight wins at home will get you 8,121 fans at the Cajundome.

    This is an all-time top-10 attendance figure at the Stump. In fact it ranks at #10.

    It is however only the 4th highest attendance vs. UNO.

    Does anyone one know our record against UNO in those well-attended games?

    Louisiana is now 9-11 all-time vs. UNO at the CajunDome.

    Cajuns hold off Privateers to run streak to 19.

    LAFAYETTE — This streaking business is getting harder all the time, but it’s worth the effort.

    UL Lafayette needed overtime to hold off the New Orleans Privateers 79-75 Saturday night before a season-high 8,121 fans at the Cajundome, running its homecourt victory streak to 19 in a row.

    Brad Boyd didn’t score until 10:05 remained in regulation, but he finished with 15 including a clinching 5-of-6 free throws at the end of the extra period as the Ragin’ Cajuns improved to 16-6 overall and 8-1 in the Sun Belt Conference.

    Sophomore center Michael Southall was a tower of power in the win, playing just short of the full 45 minutes and finishing with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

    New Orleans (12-10, 5-6) was led by 2002 Sun Belt Player of the Year Hector Romero, who had 20 points and 10 rebounds but failed to score in overtime.

    “The crowd was excellent,” Cajun coach Jessie Evans said. “We fed off of them a lot in the second half, and they played a huge part in this win.

    “We weren’t quite sure they were getting their money’s worth, so we played an extra five minutes.”

    Southall appeared to clinch it for the Cajuns at the end of regulation, blocking a Romero shot and appearing to seal a 65-63 triumph. But his rejection was ruled goaltending and the two teams headed for supplemental action.

    “I’m really impressed with Lafayette, always have been,” UNO coach Monte Towe said. “We came in here and played nose-to-nose against what I consider the best team in the conference, and maybe that will give us confidence for the Sun Belt Tournament.”

    Towe said the clear difference was Southall.

    “I think Southall is a wonderful player,” Towe said. “He’s a factor all over the floor, defensively and offensively. He’s also a wonderful passer. And, he likes to win.”

    Southall’s desire to win was evidenced by his play in overtime. After getting his blocked shot disallowed to prompt OT, Southall scored 7 of the Cajuns’ first 9 points in the frame and dished off to freshman Cedric Williams for the other bucket.

    “I was really upset that we had to go to overtime,” Southall said. “My teammates kept telling me over and over that they (the Privateers) can’t stop me, and they kept getting me the ball.”

    There were plenty of nervous moments for the Cajuns. The Privateers broke a 29-all tie and mounted a 36-29 advantage at halftime. Then, midway through the second half, a 3-point bomb by Kyle Buggs put UNO ahead by 9 at 52-43.

    That’s when Boyd finally came alive with a 3-pointer of his own, serving as the flashpoint for a 14-1 Cajun surge that put them ahead 57-53. Boyd’s trey off a Southall screen tied the game at 53, Southall got a tip-in and then a Southall steal led to an Immanuel Washington layup.

    Three-pointers by Romero and A.J. Meredith produced a 59-57 UNO lead, but a breakaway drive by Laurie Bridges, coming after Williams forced Romero into a costly turnover, put the Cajuns ahead by 63-59.

    A tap-in and 12-footer in the lane by Buggs then knotted it again. Southall slipped the ball to Williams for a 65-63 edge, before the call at the end of regulation.

    “At the half,” Anthony Johnson said, “they had the lead and we were playing their game. Once we started playing our game, we picked up the tempo on defense and started running the floor. Then they fell into our hands.”

    “Worried?” Southall said. “Worried, no. Concerned, yes. You’ve got to get a little nervous edge to you.”

    “We tried to slow the game up a little bit,” Towe said. “I’d like to run more, but we have trouble in transition (UNO finished with 19 turnovers). The game went pretty much the way I wanted it to, until they hit that spurt in the second half.

    “I think Southall was the difference, that and our turnovers. Their defense was good. They’re athletic. Part of our turnover problem was probably their defense.”

    The Cajuns’ ability to come at the Privateers in waves eventually spelled the difference.

    “Nineteen in a row is a lot,” Johnson said. “When we got down by 9, that was a wake-up call for us. You still have to go out and play hard. Ain’t no game given to you.”

    Never was that more true than Saturday night.
