Great win Ray and Bulldawgs

[DerHntr]

Glad they are finding a way to get it done.

 

[FlotownDawg]

We are 3-2 since starting 0-3 in the SEC. Team is playing much better the past month. Ray now has a Top 50 RPI win. Who woulda thought that after we lost to SC-Upstate.

 

[dawgstudent]

Beat mcneese, ark state, usc upstate - we are 13-8 and squarely on the nit bubble.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I will take it!

easy there killer

 

[patdog]

Those 3 are killers. But Ray has gotten this team to stay with him and fight through the adversity. Here's hoping we look back in a couple of years and say, "Yeah, January 2015 was the turning point."

 

[coach66]

I'm starting to think he may make it.

If we could just play a little smarter we
Would be decent.

We are winning our games by sheer athleticism and hustle. If we had some shooters we could be one of the best teams out of the west.

The grit, effort, hustle, and athleticism is undoubtedly there. Our zone was effective because of how hard we attacked their offense and our hustle to the ball. It shut LSU down. We also have been able to outrun most teams we play.

My biggest complaint is piss-poor fundamentals on offense. I'm ok with a fast pace, but our pace at this point is way too fast to be confidently effective. It's also resulting in a lot of turnovers (still). Our free throws, although won it for us today, are still not as solid as I'd like to see. I'd still like to see us get better at attacking the rim, as well.

Going forward, I want to see ray work to clean those things up. He has us playing hard, that's without a doubt... But we still have to be much smarter. Good win, though. He has not lost the team and he has us getting a little better each week. Let's keep it up and let's see if he can add the smarts and fundamentals to the effort we already have.

Make it...to next year? Yes, I agree. Make it long term? Not sold on that yet.

Next year should be an nit team at worst. If we get postseason next year that will get ray to his best class. Hicks and simond are legit

Extension? Get the 17 outta here. Dude we are 10-11 with a veteran team.

 

[coach66]

I'm pulling for Ray because he is a great

Guy. He understands defense and does fine with that aspect. Rebounding, offensive identity, and smart ball, he gets that right and he will make it.

Extension if we get postseason play next year. If not, no.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

As long as he is our coach, I'm pulling for him. But yes, he seems like a good dude.

 

[MSUDC11]

Have a chance in as many as 8 of our last 10. That's insane considering where this team was a month ago.

Big game on Tuesday. I don't think we can win in Fayetteville on Saturday, but otherwise I think there is a chance to get 3 or 4 wins in the next 3 weeks.

 

[Chesusdog]

As a resident of Baton Rouge, wins like this will make listening to the local espn radio douchebag Matt Moscona all the better. Grats Ray Dogs!

 

[patdog]

Make it to next year, not too much doubt, barring an 0-12 finish. Make it long term, definitely to be determined. But I'm a lot more optimistic about it than I was a month ago. And yes, from what I can tell he's a great guy and I'm rooting for him.

Add to the wish list an inbound play that gets the ball in in less than 4.9 seconds.
