M. Basketball. Bulldogs Fall on the Road to Ragin' Cajuns

This is my concern as well. This is NOT a new problem for us. We had the same issues when we lost the WAC Tournament title game to a bigger and more physical NMSU team in Las Vegas 2 years ago. And again, when we lost to a more physical USM team in Hattiesburg last year.

White has had 3 years to fix this, and he hasn't.

True. This has been a perennial issue. Kinda tired of it.

What the hell is our problem with in-state schools? ! This is ridiculous.

Not good. ULL just lost to McNeese by 10 this past weekend.

What is the final score?

ULL - 94, Tech - 86

[gabzooks]

Very disappointing loss..... lowers my expectations for the season considerably.

Surprised that we're getting absolutely nothing from the jucos and freshmen. Would've thought at least 1 would shine. Got to be crazy disappointing for White.

I think we will be okay come conference play, but I think we can kiss any thoughts of a top 25 ranking goodbye.

This loss makes me laugh.

We may not be okay in conference play either. But, we shouldn't panic yet.

I always tell anyone that will listen, there's a big difference between college basketball in early December, and college basketball in February. It's still very early.

Please translate. I fail to see the humor.

Pieces still coming together. We had high expectations with only 4 starters coming back. We all know White can put it together. We lost to this same team last year. We will hit our stride again about mid-season and roll....... That is what we have done the last couple of years. The key this year is if we can continue to roll through the CUSA tournament. I have no doubts that we will be at the top of the conference.

ULL gets WAY up for Tech, but this does not and has never determined our season.

Mine too. That defensive effort was atrocious. Apart from our ball pressure, we got nothing.

If we're going to try to outscore people, we need to run the entire game. That bi-polar stuff is screwy!

But I'd freaking like to beat them once in a while.

Wow! We are gonna get absolutely housed!

We got PANTSED

Again, did MW recruits any guys with size and not get them or does he just go for lanky guys that he hopes run the floor well. I thought he had recruited someone that was a legit big. Maybe I misheard, but I thought we found a 6'10" 250 type guy.
