Basketball game Monday vs. UT Tyler

[Esqueleto]

Embrace the young roster and start Fulks, Hardy, Fields, Julien, Charles and run run run run. Kitenge will not help.

Agreed. You could try the 40 minutes of hell and sub out every 5 minutes or so

Hosanna had limitations but one he doesn’t have it getting knocked away from his position. He fell on one Tyler player last night. The kid was squashed.

We didn't watch the same game last night then. I thought he looked extremely soft against a very small team. He has no hands and didn't look to fight for rebounding position much at all.

Yep different game. Once he blocked out no one moved him. He cannot jump but has pretty quick feet. I would have not liked to play inside against him. Unless he continues to put ball on the floor. He’s bad at that like most bigs we’ve had. We’ll see how he develops. I think he has potential. Just my opinion.

IDK why, but that seems awfully close considering we were playing a D2 school. Is that just me, or did the Cajuns really not play that well?

We had a 25 point lead at half and a 34 point lead at one point in the second half. None of our top 6 guys played more than 19 minutes. We played 12 people and 11 of them scored. Therefore, my recommendation is to draw zero conclusions from the exhibition game. That is not to say some things could not be improved upon. Rebounding being one of them. Personally, I don't think this result is a reason to panic. I would also say not to have optimism had we won by 40 plus. It is an exhibition game which is approached completely different than a regular season game. Note, both St. John's and Louisville lost exhibtion games to lower division opponents in recent days. My guess is they would have won those in the regular season. Tough to draw conclusions from that affair last night.

Mullet, please check your PM's.

. . . If rebounding is the issue, adjustments can be taught . . . just block out . . . surely not much should be taken (positive or negative) from a game where all on the roster have played substantive minutes against a D2 school other than a good learning opportunity for players and coaches

When it comes to dribbling, he makes Justin Miller look like Curley Neal…

[CajunVic]

. . . Justin Miller has never been given the good wrap that he earned . . .

Fulks, Garnett, Charles, Julien, Kitenge

Really wish Richards wouldn't have left
