The LaTech win was pretty impressive.

I want to see how they handle Cancun before naming them the best team in the state.

Their 1, 2 and 3 look good so far....real good.

Gotcha.

So a pretty decent team that is likely headed to the NIT at least.

Seems like this could be one of the better years for Louisiana basketball in a while.
