LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball team looks to finish out the final week of regular season play when it hosts Texas State on Thursday at the Cajundome.
Tipoff is set for 5 p.m. and live video and statistics are available at RaginCajuns.com. The game can be heard in the Lafayette area on ESPN 1420 AM, along with on the internet via the Radio Pup app.
Louisiana (16-9, 10-6 SBC), which is coming off a 71-68 defeat at Coastal Carolina on Saturday, is currently fifth in the Sun Belt Conference standings. The top four teams earn a bye in the Sun Belt tournament in March.
Texas State (16-11, 11-5 SBC) is coming off a 74-72 win over Troy on Saturday and sits in fourth place in the Sun Belt Conference. The Bobcats currently hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Cajuns by virtue of a 62-40 win over Louisiana on Jan. 21 in San Marcos, Texas.
The Cajuns can finish in fourth and earn a bye if they win their final two games and if Texas State loses at ULM on Saturday. Louisiana can also earn a bye if they defeat Texas State and UTA while Troy loses to either Arkansas State on Thursday or league-leader Little Rock on Saturday.
Louisiana is led in scoring by senior guard Jaylyn Gordon (18.2 ppg). Gordon leads the Sun Belt Conference in points per game, three-point field goals made per game (2.7) and minutes played per game (38.6).
Junior Simone Fields is fourth in the league in scoring (15.3 ppg) and third in field goal percentage (.556). Fields currently has scored 992 points in her collegiate career and needs only eight points to join Gordon at the 1,000-point milestone.
Junior Troi Swain (9.4 ppg), freshman Jasmine Thomas (9.2 ppg), junior Nekia Jones (6.4 ppg) and senior Gabby Alexander (5.4 ppg) are all key contributors for the Cajuns.
Texas State is led in scoring by junior guard Taeler Deer (11.2 ppg). Sophomore Toshua Leavitt (9.9 ppg) and sophomore McKinley Bostad (6.5 ppg) also lead the Bobcats.
Texas State leads Louisiana 7-5 in the all-time series. The Bobcats have won two of the past three contests with the Cajuns.
