NCAA Tournament 2000 - Louisiana playbook: Cajun cookin'

Louisiana playbook: Cajun cookin'
From Coach's Edge

Louisiana brought a little Cajun cooking to Little Rock for the Sun Belt Tournament. The Ragin' Cajuns knocked off top-seeded South Alabama to claim the conference's automatic bid.

The best cook for Lafayette is sixth man Orlando Butler. He's the Cajuns' leading scorer, and knocks down 3-pointers at better than 40 percent. If he can get hot, the Cajuns might sneak up on someone with a spicy tournament surprise.
