Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4099580, member: 6927"] I went to Tudor Fieldhouse last night to watch a new-look Rice team host the Ragin' Cajuns of Louisiana. I was curious to see how the defending WNIT champs looked after their star players and head coach all departed. Plus I'm a secondary fan of ULL. Rice hired its new coach, Lindsay Edmonds, from NC State, where she spent 8 years as an assistant to Wes Moore. I'm curious if [USER=4687]@LETTERL[/USER] can provide any insights and impressions about Edmonds' time there. I'm also wondering if [USER=378]@triaddukefan[/USER] remembers Edmonds from her playing days at Appalachian State (she was then known as Lindsay Smith). Edmonds has her work cut out for her, I'd say. She has an 11-player roster of mostly freshmen and sophomores, with only one starter and a few bench players from last year's team. Rice led by 8-12 points for most of the 2nd and 3rd quarters, before Louisiana used a full court press in 4Q to completely alter the momentum. Rice is sorely missing a true point guard and they will have nightmares about their inability to break the ULL pressure. The Ragin' Cajuns found the hot hand and seemingly could not miss in 4Q: they shot an incredible 10 of 11 FG and 3 of 4 from 3FG, which included a 4-point play. We'll see if ULL can draw momentum from their inspired comeback next week, when they make the trek from Lafayette to Baton Rouge to face the snooty ritzy resource-hogging state flagship university (did I get that right, [USER=378]@triaddukefan[/USER] :D ).
