Nice shot nice win. Keep it going. 1 more is a winning streak
Dou Gueye bails out Bob Marlin. The Cajuns were held to just 27 points in the second half before the last "Christian Laettner-esque" Dou Gueye 3 pt shot at the buzzer. It was a game where the Cajuns were making their three point shots in the first half and not in the second: 6-14 vs 2-12.
Tyrus Smith still needs to be coached up. He does not know how to defend the ball screen. He puts his arms down like he is trying to steal the ball from the guard and gives him a clear view of the basket. He should use his long arms and height to his advantage and force the guard to shoot over him. Then he goal tends on UTA's last shot with 2.7 seconds left. Once the ball hits the backboard you can't touch it. Hardy made a perfect throw and Dou caught it, turned, and fired the game winner. The Cajuns had 16 offensive rebounds to their 10 and out-rebounded them for the game 57-36. Cajuns had 17 second chance points to their 8. Cajuns had only 9 turnovers for the game.
As hard as they fought to get rebounds it would have been a shame if they had lost the game.
Nice two game win streak! Let's make it 3 come Saturday.
Leaving the corner threes open more frequently than in the first half is how UTA got back into the game. I actually don’t think the team played that bad, they just shot poorly. Evidence of their efforts are the rebounding numbers. We beat them by 10 I believe in that stat. We also had only 9 turnovers. It would have been unfortunate to lose the game on a questionable goal tending call. Of course there was an element of luck to win a game in such a fashion. However preparation also came into it here. The last play was similar to what was run late in the Little Rock game. In that one Dou passed it to Russell on the wing. Cedric had a shot that was a little flat vs the Trojans. Tonight they took Cedric away so Dou let it fly. He also had good form on the shot so skill and practice came into play to determine the outcome. Great for Dou in that he did not play in the first game against UTA due to the flu. Although he struggled with his shot tonight it is worth noting the team has won four straight wins Malik Wilson on the floor.
IberiaCajun and I must have been composing our posts at the same time as they are similar. I think a video of the winning shot is found below. https://twitter.com/ragincajunsmbb/s...948469249?s=21
