We're on the road. We're being clobbered. We have Middle on Saturday, and then on the road to USA. A loss here could be disastrous.
But we suck it up, come back, and win easily in overtime. It was really amazing. If we play hard and can get a win against Middle Saturday, it would really put us in good position to finish the season on a high note.

Can't argue on the magnitude of this road win. Let's just follow it up with a home win. Then we really have something!

This has to be a confidence builder. One big man short. Another big man sick. On the road. Coming back from double figures down.

I'll pass on the koolaid. ULL got sloppy and inflexible down the stretch and we took clear advantage of it. But hey, any road victory is a quality win. I don't care that we almost outrebouded them 2-1. I am mad that Stevie turned the ball over so many times. Does he travel THAT much usually? If ULL had not stunk it up at the freethrow line in regulation, we would have lost.

All valid points. However, having been a fan of this program for almost three decades, I will tell you that I savor every single win at Lafayette and at New Orleans. We have been more successful at those places of late, but having suffered many years with getting spanked at those two places, wins in south Louisiana are just really sweet to me.

I agree on that point. But otherwise, no koolaid for me.
