First time TXST has won in the Cajun Dome. Glad to get the win even if it was against a depleted roster.

DUREY CADWELL--Soph JUCO transfer expected to be the first backup at the 3 spot. Definitely in the rotation. Out for the year before the season started.

JAVONE LOWERY--Freshman 6'5 that would have been a backup at the SG and SF. Out for the year after the first game.

KOBE JULIEN--One of Louisiana's best players two years ago. Missed last year after tearing ACL in the State Tournament. Starting at the SF and averaging 13 points a game when he went down with a knee injury (the other knee) . Played in the first eight games, now out for the year.

TRAJAN WESLEY--Starting point guard. Missed a couple of games with a foot injury early in the season, was playing very well but suffered a concussion against South Alabama. Has played in twelve games. Missed the last five. Return uncertain.

P. J. HARDY--Only senior. SG. Was suspended for the first three games and then missed seven games because of an ankle injury. Returned vs. UTA

MYLIK WILSON--Might be the league's best freshman. Dropped 30 on App State but hurt his knee. Has missed the last four games. We hope to get him back for ULM next Saturday.

TIRUS SMITH--PF--Missed virtually all of preseason practice because of illiness. Missed the first three games of the season. Is playing now, but only full strength for about the last two weeks.

DOU GUEYE--PF--Missed the UTA game (flu)

CEDRIC RUSSELL--Three year starter. Missed the Texas St. game because of a foot injury. Was in a walking boot last night. No timetable for his return. It might be a while, I was told.

Jalen Johnson is the only player to play in every game this year.

I've never seen anything like this.

Well Bobby Big Fish would still only find a way to finish somewhere between 3rd and 5th. Then claim to be the standard in the SBC. He is a joke as a coach.
