I noticed. People need to get a grip.

I agree, ppl need to understand what they’re watching.. and that’s what I’m trying to help with.

A handful of games let you know who your team is..

Right now, we are a team that is very good at beating the hell out of bad teams. No debatable.

We’re a team that hasn’t really been tested but a handful of times. It’s a bad loss because it’s the first time this season we lost to someone we should’ve beaten. And it’s an ugly loss no doubt. But that’s all it is.

We’ve been tested 6 times. 5 if those games were winnable. We’re 1-5 with a loss average in the double digits. That’s not nothing.

How come we always talk about the large sample size until it tells us something we don’t want to believe?

We are 1 and 4 against top 150 RPI teams.....

I understand that it isn't the end of the world and the season isn't over yet. But how can you honestly say this team hasn't been tested that much? Again, we are 1-4 against Top 150 RPI teams. When we have been tested, we have won once and lost by double digits in the 4 losses. That is who this team is period. Luckily we have a shot a top seed, if not the top seed in the SBC Tournament. We still have a chance at the NCAA Dance, and that is why I haven't given up. But it is laughable at best to hear people deny this team hasn't played well against the Top 150 teams on the schedule. Tonight wasn't just tough, it was a total embarrassment for this program.

Bottom line is this is just one game. How many of us thought we'd really go undefeated the rest of the conference season?

It hurts to lose this badly to GaSt especially but this (type of) game was going to happen eventually. Let's flush this and get these guys back when it really counts.

p.s. I was talking about the women's game when I predicted a 15 point win earlier.

My god. One bad loss, and people here are ready to throw in the towel. That’s embarrassing.

Anyone remember what happened during Shawn Long’s senior season? We went to Atlanta and took them to the woodshed. Demolished them. Anyone remember what happened the next two times we played gast? In fact, I don’t think we’ve beaten them since.

It’s a loss. A bad loss. But that’s all that it is. Stop whining and let’s play next.

No one's throwing in the towel....telling the truth about our wins and losses is not throwing in the towel....I've been to every home game and will be at the rest of the games....facts are facts..

We are 1 and 4 against top 150 RPI teams.....

and thats the sobering fact that puts all kind of earned shade against 20-4 record. That's the point that has our fan base PO'ed.. Harsh reality sux

The Cajuns missed several layups, which had been a problem in previous games. We shot poorly from the charity stripe, which had been one of the teams strong points. We could not buy a rebound at times, which was out of character for this team. We shot well below our average from the 3 point line in the 2nd half and in the meantime GS was on fire from beyond the 3 point line. Defense played OK at times but the panthers would just step out and shoot a NBA 3 point shot.

Bottom line, this is just one game. The big question is how the team will respond to the loss. We are still in first place and still control our destiny. I am disappointed, but I really did not expect that the Cajuns would go undefeated in conference. Now it is time to beat the other GA team.
