Louisiana College kept the game close early in the first half as it trailed 14-11 after two free throws by Anthony Gaines, Jr., with 12:58 remaining before a pair of free throws and a dunk by Hedgeman, along with a free throw by Tyrone Wooten pushed the lead to 19-11 at the 11:59 mark.
The Ragin' Cajuns built their lead to 23-13 on a layup by Shepherd with 10:35 remaining in the first half before pushing their lead to 49-29 on a 3-pointer by Stove at the 1:48 mark and 55-29 at halftime.
