UL LAFAYETTE -2 1/2...Ragin Cajuns figure to be the "more athletic" team here in Big Bear consolation game vs. Canisius. Can go over .500 heading into Sun Belt play with win here. Have faced "more athletic" competition this year and have turned in some nice defensive efforts. Lost tight one last night. Have shown some character not quitting in losses to LSU and Texas Tech. Canisius has lost all but opener vs. Cornell and have been badly outrebounded at times. Terrible ballhandling last night( 6 asst. 24 turnovers) ULL as member of Sun Belt should not be as affected by trip out west. Think we have some nice edges here at bargain price. GL

excellent write-up -- some more:

Canisius is 1-6 versus a schedule ranked #253 (out of 317), with an RPI of 303

UL-Lafayette is 4-5 versus a schedule ranked #119 (obviously tougher), with an RPI of 150

I see this as a hidden gem, as well -- good luck to both of us with the Cajuns!
