I'm watching it in bits and pieces as I type t his.....hope its still on by the time I'm able to finish it.

Quality is superb and I wish we could get more like this. What would it take for UNO to get an ESPN3 deal?

A 2nd rounder? :lol:

I was particularly impressed with the defensive effort. Quite a few of those turnovers were forced by Privateers stepping into passing lanes, etc. Good stuff.

Yep -- we still give up a pretty high FG% but are creating turnovers all over the place this season. I've long bellyached about our assist/turnover ratio and it is under 1:1 again this year, but the difference this year is that our opponents' ratio is worse.

While I was only able to get thru the first half last night, since I saw the last 12 of the game original, I think I can safely say what I saw was more positive than negative.......but a few things concerned me still:

Other than maybe Gill and Reed, (and not yet considering Hill's great night is a one and done or not) we really don't have any consistent shooters. LOTS of misses. And as I always go on and on about, many many missed layups. Fts seem to be just a tad better. ...we'll see.
Also of concern even considering the defense looked REALLY good is the number of seemingly uncontested 3 pt shots teams are taking, and fortunately for us, Lamar missed. But damn they take a lot of 3's.

Overall, I like the 'hands everywhere' defense schless has these guys doing. IF they can continue that, and not lose the ball under the basket so much, this team can absolutely finish in the top half of the conference.

I would like to see Frye and Gill shoot more, drive the lane a bit more (Frye is strong enough to do this rather consistently) and when Reed is hot, play him till he cools down. Just a fan's perspective.

I'm starting to look forward to games again.........slow and steady, Chuck.

I don't know if we'll be able to pull it off, but we're looking at fares for the first weekend of Mardi Gras -- our son hasn't been to a Mardi Gras parade since he was too young to remember. A trip then would 1) be for his birthday, 2) (re-)introduce him to Mardi Gras when it's not as crazy as the second weekend... and 3) would get us there for the McNeese & Nicholls home games!

The cheap fares held and we were able to manage the leave, so we booked it! Parades and the Privateers vs. two in-state Southland rivals! See y'all at Lakefront Arena! :D

We're in for the first weekend of parades, not the big weekend. Games we'll attend are 1/30 (McNeese) and 2/1 (Nicholls).
