Basketball (Men) 1991-92

You are right. He may have been sitting out. I didn't remember him playing.

Three of my favorite underrated players of all time were on this team. The late Tony/Antoine Moore, C-Mack, Cedric Mackeyon and "The Thief of Bahgdad" Shawn Griggs. Tony Moore had one of the quickest first steps and sweetest 10-15 foot jumpers we have had. C-Mack was a beast underneath the basket, mostly picking up rebounds and easy baskets off of missed shots. He was a great complement to Marcus Stokes down low. Shawn Griggs, was a transfer from LSU that had some of the quickest hands I have ever saw. He led the team in steals that year and was fantastic at doing it. But every fan's favorite on that team was "WE WANT RUSS, WE WANT RUSS" Harris.

We all remember, Michael Allen, Carroll Boudreaux, Todd Hill, Eric Mouton, Byron Starks and Marcus Stokes, but this team was deeper than that. We had a number of roll players that really were fun to watch, one of my favorite teams ever at UL.

Once play an intramural game against Russ Harris after he exhausted his eligibility. Dude could stroke it! Made me realize just how good a D1 benchwarmer is. Asked him why he never got any playing time and he basically said the players were just a little too quick or too big for him to defend. Seemed like a great guy.

Jacob Broussard is a current Ragin Cajun walk on. During the summer he plays pick up ball at Red Lerille's. He easily has one of the best perimeter shots of all the guys who play in the city. His range exceeds just about anyone in the area other than Sydney Grider. Of course his physical build limits him defensively at the D1 level Metry is right in that most do not understand how good a player you have to be to be on a D1 roster, even at the walk on level.

---Wasn't he inserted in a game earlier in the year for a last second type shot---maybe at the end of the first half???

Jacob has played in a few games this year and his hit a couple of shots. If the Cajuns play to their potential, there may be some more he gets into as they may have big leads late in some.

In case anyone has an hour to blow today, here is the game:

Cajuns take an early 6-0 lead!

[CajunNation]

C-Mack.

Best defensive player in history of school.


Todd Hill

Sometimes got ridiculous hang time due to 6'9", bus length wingspan, 100 lb frame sometimes being caught in Cajundome air conditioning up draft.

Seeing that graphic only reminds me that we should have made it to the Sweet 16 had we played well against New Mexico State.

Who can name the key guys off the 1992 team. I can tell you Eric Mouton and Marcus Stokes were senior co captains. The team started off so-so but got hot right when conference play started. Apparently some guys got in shape over the Christmas break. A Super Bowl Sunday OT win at South Alabama was a key win in conference play. Finally getting past UNO was also a highlight that year. Lots of good memories in that season.

Unsung key guy was Carroll Boudreaux.

Elfrid Payton would like a word with you.

C Mack was a leaper as well, right?

Unsung key guy was Carroll Boudreaux.

Boudreaux had come from a JC. He started slow but got in shape over the Christmas break. Cajun coaches pushed the guys really hard during those few days. When they won the conference opener in a blowout at Jacksonville, it was obvious something had changed. Jay Walker has a good recap of that entire season on the Sports Radio ESPN 1420 website. Regarding Cedric Mackeyon, he was a very good defensive player and was one of the reasons the Cajuns improved over the previous season. However, I do not think he was at the level of Elfrid Payton. Elfrid was the NATIONAL defensive player of the year his junior season (last year here). CMack did hit two critical free throws in the SBC tournament final against La Tech that year. I remember holding my breath in Biloxi that night when he went to the stripe as his FT % was in the mid 60's. He was tough as nails though as both hit nothing but net.
