Didn't necessarily look great doing it. Trailed ULM for the first 30 minutes before the defense began to figure things out. But a win is a win I guess. Especially after they knocked us out of the tournament last year.
Cajuns come to town Sunday. Only thing I think we have going for us is that we're so much smaller than them that we might be able to force matchup problems with their 6'6 wing trying to guard one of our small guards. On the other hand, they should be able to dominate inside and win by 20.
Defense was dynamite in the second half. You could tell that was a point of emphasis during halftime butt chewing. They scored 41 in the first half and something like 8 points in the first 12 minutes of the second.
ULM isn’t any good, but it was quite nice to see some signs of life from us. We’ve got three pretty good players on our squad, which is enough to cause havoc. Unfortunately it’s the most shallow team ever and the drop off from first to second group is massive.

All I will say is that no one plays a full game of basketball and commits only 8 fouls. 30 FTs to 2 is even beyond what people complained about Duke. You can say we aren't any good but we made more FGs, shot a higher % from the field, both 2 and 3, and outrebounded Ark St. The 3 guys in stripes decided that game.
