Cajuns to face Sam Houston State at 2 p.m. Saturday in CIT second round - IdahoCajun - 03-20-2015 03:43 AM

He knew it was a strong possibility, so UL(21-13, 13-7 Sun Belt) basketball coach Bob Marlin was not shocked when he got the call saying Sam Houston State(26-8, 15-3 Southland) would be the Ragin' Cajuns' opponent Saturday afternoon (2 p.m. central) in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT).
The initial thought that went through his mind when he heard, actually, was relief that his team would be able to take a relatively short trip for its next postseason game.
The bus ride from Lafayette to Huntsville, Texas, after all, is less than 250 miles — almost 200 fewer than one other possible second-round option, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
What Marlin wasn't pondering first is the fact — oh, by the way — he'll be coaching for the first time against the Southland Conference team that he used to coach.
"Great feelings," Marlin said of going back.
"It will be a little bit different being on the other side of the bench, the other side of halfcourt, but good memories there, great people.
"I feel good about what I accomplished when I left to come to UL," he added. "It was hard to drive off after we built something really special, and Coach (Jason) Hooten has done a really good job of building off that."

Yes, good luck! Are these games available online?

They are available only on line, but I got it for free the other night. So I suppose that is a positive.

Cajuns win 71-70 AT SHSU.
Will Cajuns ever get a home game in this CIT ?

Good question! 50/50 on the next round. Thought Coach said ice hockey is back in the dome too.

Oh, and some of the questions these trolls ask ... even in the age of having infinite information at your fingertips, and the ability to google almost anything.
Ridiculous.
It's an invitational tournanment that your team didn't get their invitation in the mail via US Postal Service, or Pony Express, or carrier pigeon?
However you research and send information where you are.

Tournament that we turned an invite down to 2 years ago Sort of the NIT for mid majors.

I saw the earliest the next round could begin is 3/25 and the Icegators play from 3/26-3/28. So unless we'd play on 3/25, then there's no way we'd host in the Dome.

Cajuns will host (Thursday @ Blackham Coliseum). This is the "historic" arena that the Cajuns played at up until 1985 before the CajunDome was built. Holds close to 5500, should be a packed house and a definite home court advantage. Seats are close to the court!
