Last season McNeese State represented the Southland Conference in the NCAA Tournament after coming off one of the most exciting seasons in school history. With over 340 teams in D-1 basketball, being one of the 64 that actually makes the "Big Dance" let's you know how important it really was. Head Coach Brooks Donald-Williams team is off to it's best start ever at 5-1 after an opening game loss to UCLA (67-59). Yes that's the same UCLA that's in the Pac-12 and even more impressive than the 8 point loss is that they did it on the road
I always say that the game starts at the one, well add the one, two and the three as in long ball shooters. Led by the Baggett twins, Aslyn and Caitlyn, along with Kendra Wells, this high octane offensive trio can put up numbers in bunches, in fact all three are on course to break 1000 career points this season
Candace LaCombe showed she could shoot the three as well, knocking down 2 of them in first 3 minutes and
3 in the first half while Martika Hull is just so athletic, the first thing that I noticed was that she just hustles you on both ends. With Hightower's Jasmine Prophett deciding to join a superb recruiting calls, the future looks bright for the Cowgirls.
