Guest coachacola Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 [quote]So focused on the moment was Lamar University men's basketball coach Steve Roccaforte that not even he realized a basic element of his team's schedule until Monday night.The Cardinals, now nine games into a 32-game regular season, [b]play only eight more road games this season[/b]. That's fewer road games left than any Southland Conference school."Now is when the schedule turns dramatically in our favor," said Roccaforte, whose team could use a little home cooking after losing a sixth straight road game Sunday.[/quote]A lot of teams, like Texas Tech and Hawaii, start their seasons playing mostly home games. LU did just the opposite, and with a young team, so there's still hope for a good season.http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/local/lu_men_glad_to_be_home_again.html
badndn Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Gotta protect the home court and steal a couple of road games in conference. If they do so then they win 15-20 this season and make the conference tourney. That would be a great accomplishment for this young group and quite the step in the right dirrection for next year.
