Louisiana postgame

A tough way to end the regular season. We stuck with the Cajuns all the way, but just could not get over the hump at the finish. Playing smallball as we are, it is not surprising that we got KILLED on the boards 39 to 21, and that is a pretty big hole to dig for yourself, especially when you let the opponents shoot 43% from the arc. Really, looking at the stats, it is amazing that we hung with them as well as we did.

Good games by several players. Let's give the game ball to J. T. Thomas, who had 14 points on 5 of 11 from the field, and had 3 assists against one turnover. Nice efforts also by Roger Woods and Mareik Isom. Josh Hagins had12 points, but it took him 13 shots from the field to get them. However, he had 5 big assists against zero turnovers, so he had a good night except for shooting. We had 11 assists against only 5 turnovers, so we did an excellent job in that regard.

The bottom line of this game happened elsewhere. The teams lost that had to lose, and we are in the SBC tournament. So our season lasts at least another game. Go Trojans!
