Matt Derenbecker Found Dead on Tragic Weekend for New Orleans Basketball

Privateer Island is incredibly saddened by the tragic recent events surrounding former Privateers Matt Derenbecker and Cory Dixon. Our thoughts are always with Cory, and with Matt's family and friends. The following is an article I posted over at MidMajorMadness.com. 

The New Orleans basketball program felt a pair of crushing blows this weekend as two of the most prominent members of the 2013-14 team and their families dealt with a pair of unthinkable tragedies just two days apart.

Former LSU, Dayton, and New Orleans forward Matt Derenbecker was found dead on Sunday in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. He was 22 years old.

Privateers Add Guard Kevin Brown From ULL

New Orleans' talented, but young, backcourt got an infusion of experience today as graduate-transfer Kevin Brown has committed to play his final season for Coach Sless and the Privateers, according to a report on twitter by Joshua E. Parrott.

Brown appeared in a team-high 35 games (starting 13) for the Cajuns this past season. He averaged 5.5 points in just under 21 minutes per game. His 41 assists ranked third on the team, and his 35 made three-pointers ranked second. In the Cajuns NCAA Tournament loss to Creighton, Brown scored seven points on 3-for-4 shooting in 20 minutes. Against South Alabama on January 16th, he scored a season-high 14 points, making 4-of-5 from behind the arc.

Brown missed most of his sophomore season at ULL after suffering a broken foot. His freshman season was spent across town at Tulane, where he averaged 1.3 points in just over six minutes a game, appearing in 18 games.

2014-15 Privateers Basketball Schedule Released

The 2014-15 UNO Men's Basketball schedule was released this week. First the good news: the road slate features several high-profile opponents, and they are all potentially winnable games for this year's squad. That includes a December 22nd visit to famed Assembly Hall against the Big Ten's Indiana Hoosiers. The other road games against Power 5 league members are TCU of the Big 12 (Nov 21) and Texas A&M of the SEC (Nov 28.) The Privateers will also travel to take on three mid-major opponents, Denver (Nov 30) San Diego (Dec 13) and Southern Illinois (Dec 19.)

Coach Sless will return home to Bloomington when his
Privateers travel to Assembly Hall to take on Indiana.

The schedule also features some bad news, and that would be the home slate. The Privateers will host three games in non-conference play, none against Division I opposition. Thankfully we don't play Champion Baptist again this year, unfortunately they have been replaced by a team that lost to Champion Baptist last season. Yikes.

The all-important Southland schedule is also a mixed bag for Privateers fans. Unfortunately the league's best team, Stephen F. Austin, does not visit the Lakefront this year. However, we will get to see Sam Houston State (Jan 10), Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Jan 24) and Northwestern St (Feb 21.) Also, Tic Price will make his return to Lakefront Arena as UNO opens Southland play hosting Lamar on January 5th. 

The road SLC schedule is also a positive overall for Privateers fans hoping to travel with the team. The game at SFA unfortunately falls on a Monday (Jan 19) however several drivable road games fall on Saturdays. Those include Houston Baptist in legendary Sharp Gym (Jan 17) McNeese (Jan 31) Central Arkansas (Feb 7) and Northwestern St (Mar 7.) The road games at Nicholls (Feb 2) and Southeastern (Feb 23) are both on a Monday, but are close enough for many fans to make anyway.

Finally, the season concludes with the Privateers first ever appearance in the Southland Conference Tournament (March 11-14 in Katy, Texas.) For the first time since the 2009-10 season, the Privateers will be competing for a bid into the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Make plans now to be in Katy supporting Coach Sless and the Privateers.

Visit our Privateer Fan Forum and let us know what you think of this year's schedule.

UNO Eligible for 2014-15 Hoops Postseason

The list of schools who did not meet APR qualifications, and are thus banned from the 2014-15 postseason, is out.  UNO is not on the list, though three Southland schools (Houston Baptist, Central Arkansas, Lamar) are.

New Orleans will still face level three penalties, the heaviest penalties of anyone not on the postseason ineligible list, including "practice reduction and other restrictions."

The UNO women's basketball team is also qualified for postseason after being ineligible in 2013-14.

Giavotella and Butler both back in Majors

What a Friday for Privateers Baseball alumni! Both Johnny Giavotella and Joey Butler are back on active Major League Baseball rosters.

The St. Louis Cardinals have purchased Butler's contract from Triple A Memphis. Joey was completely destroying Pacific Coast League pitching this season with an absurd OPS of 1.028. His on base percentage was .481. He homered four times and drove in 20 runs. He also walked (19 times) more than he struck out (16.) This will be Joey's first regular season action for the Cardinals. He appeared in eight games for Texas late in the 2013 season.


The Kansas City Royals have also re-called Johnny Giavotella from Triple A Omaha. This will be Gio's second appearance in KC this season. He appeared in one game earlier this season as a fill-in for frequently banged up starting second baseman Omar Infante. In Omaha, Gio had an OPS just under .900 with a homer and nine doubles. He's also walked (9 times) more than he's struck out (6.) In his one MLB appearance this year, Johnny went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.

UNO Blows Lead, Swept Again

Andre Damiens led the way with
three hits and two RBIs for UNO

For the 10th time in 12 home conference games, the Privateers (11-32, 2-22) lost a lead en route to a home conference loss. McNeese fell behind 3-2 but scored five in a row and won going away, 8-6. New Orleans has been swept in all four of its home conference series.

For the fifth time in 11 conference home games, the Privateers (11-31, 2-21) were unable to hold an early 3-0 lead, falling in a 14-inning marathon to McNeese, 10-8. Cameron Toole, who entered the game at catcher in the bottom of the 13th, won the game in the 14th with a single that drove in Lucas Quary.  Chayse Marion blasted a three-run homer for the Cowboys in the second inning.

Privateers Drop Opener to McNeese

Jonathan Santana blasted his first
homer of the season in the 1st inning

In what has been a somewhat frequent occurrence this season, the Privateers (11-30, 2-20) jumped out to an early 3-0 lead at Maestri Field, only to see it dissipate.  McNeese chipped away and eventually overtook New Orleans in the 7th, going ahead for good on a throwing error by shortstop Samuel Capielano.

UNO will take on the Cowboys in game two of the series Saturday at Maestri Field starting at 2 p.m.

Privateers Swept at Nicholls

For the third day in a row New Orleans (11-29, 2-19) attempted a late inning rally but fell just short, losing 4-3 at Southland-leading Nicholls (25-20, 15-6.)

In the first two games UNO got the tying or go-ahead runs to the plate in the final couple of innings. Today, they got the tying run to third base in the ninth but a strikeout ended the rally. A base-running error earlier in the inning proved to be a major factor in the rally falling short as well.

Reese Kanter had three hits in the loss. Alex Smith allowed three runs in the first inning, but settled in and pitched well in a seven inning outing.

The Privateers return to action next weekend when they host the McNeese State Cowboys at Maestri Field.

Official Box Score

Nicholls Takes Game Two

New Orleans (11-28, 2-18) again fell to Southland co-leading Nicholls (24-20, 14-6) in game two on Saturday afternoon. The final score from Maestri Field was 8-5.

Again, a questionable umpiring decision (by the same guy who ejected Daniel Martinez in game one of the series) played a key role in the game. On a very obvious force out at second base on a bunt attempt, the ump ruled the Nicholls runner safe. The call sparked a three-run inning which gave the Colonels the lead. After another disputed call on a foul tip resulted in another Nicholls run, Privateers Head Coach Ron Maestri was ejected from Maestri Field. There's just something not right with that!

Reese Kanter homered in the first inning for New Orleans. The Privateers attempted a pair of rallies in the 8th and 9th innings, but again couldn't get that last big hit.

Game three of the split series is Sunday afternoon at 1:00 pm, back in Thibodaux at Didier Field. Alex Smith is expected to start for New Orleans.

Official Box Score

Privateers Fall in Thibodaux

New Orleans (11-27, 2-17) fell 7-4 in game one of a three game split series against Southland co-leader Nicholls (23-20, 13-6.)

The game featured a couple dust-ups between the long time local rivals turned new conference rivals. Daniel Martinez was ejected after hitting the lead-off batter in the third inning despite no warnings or any obvious evidence of hostilities. In the 9th inning, the Privateers loaded the bases on two hit batters and a walk. After both hit batters, UNO coaches complained looking for an ejection of the Nicholls pitcher. At one point, Colonels Head Coach Seth Thidodeaux and the Privateers Third Base Coach got into a heated verbal altercation.

Game two of the series shifts to the Lakefront, as the Privateers will host the Colonels at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday at Maestri Field.
