Cajuns Fall, 52-51 in Final Minutes at Houston

Look back on the men and women games and you will see that many was lost at the line. When you shoot 50-53% and walk away with a 3-4 point lost. Well you get the point.

Houston isn't that awful. They took #24 George Washington to the wire and fell by 4. Still a game we should have won, but it isn't like we lost to a SWAC team. They've got a great chance to show how well they recover against Arkansas today.

Great point. Someone commented earlier that Houston must be terrible because they were terrible last year. Neither a bad team nor a bad program.

Cajuns drop the hogs. We're fine.

I agree that our sub-par [and uncharacteristic] performance at the charity stripe and behind the arc is what lost us this game. Houston is a very bad team.

We have a team that is fun to watch. They hustle their butts off on both ends of the court and never quit on themselves or us. They also [usually] do all the little things right.

That being said, we are not a really good team. We are badly undersized at every position, even in the Sun Belt. Even Ole Miss, which is a short group for the SEC, towered over us. The successful teams in the Sun Belt are both bigger than Ole Miss and substantially better.

I attend as many women's games as I can, because they are a great group of hard working, blue collar, overachievers, who are a joy to watch. But I don't deceive myself into thinking that we have a very good team. We are 3-8 against the two Arkansas SBC teams since Brodhead arrived. Much better than before, but still not very good.

Never look to the past only for future performance. 2-0 against the SEC this season may have more relevance.
