REVIEWING THE PREVIOUS GAME: Louisiana won its third-straight conference game with one of its best defensive performances of the season, taking down ULM, 52-45, on Saturday, Jan. 19 at the CAJUNDOME. During the game, Louisiana held ULM to 28 percent field goal percentage, the best number Louisiana has held an opponent to this season and the lowest since holding Georgia Southern to 25 percent on Feb. 10, 2018.
Louisiana was also strong in protecting the perimeter, holding ULM to 8.3 three-point field goal percentage, the lowest Louisiana has held a team to, with a minimum of 15 attempts, since holding Southeastern Louisiana to 5.6 field goal percentage from the arc on Feb. 5, 2010.
Sophomore center Ty'Reona Doucet finished the game with a team-high 12 points and 10 rebounds, recording her eighth double-double of the season and first in conference play. While freshmen guards Brandi Williams added 12 points of her own, while also grabbing five rebounds, and Andrea Cournoyer dropped 11 points to give Louisiana three in double-figures in the game.

RAGIN' CAJUNS BRICKWALL: Over the past three games, Louisiana has given up a conference-best average of 49.0 points per game. When considering the Mid-Major Top-25 Louisiana has the fifth-best defensive points per game average over the past three games.

SNAPPING A SKID: Louisiana's 57-54 win over Georgia State (Jan. 10) snapped a nine-game losing streak, which extended back to Louisiana's last win against Jackson State on Nov. 19. It was the longest losing streak under head coach Garry Brodhead since his first season at the helm in 2012-13 when Louisiana dropped 11-straight games.
WHAT THE JAGUARS BRING: South Alabama began the season going 11-0, including a win over the Southeastern Conference's Alabama Crimson Tide, 72-67, on Dec. 5, 2018. But the Jaguars did drop its first conference game, falling to Appalachian State, 71-63, on Jan. 3. Over the past two games, the Jaguars have gotten back to winning ways, taking down Georgia State (68-59) and Georgia Southern (69-53) to bring a two-game winning streak into the matchup with Louisiana.
