Louisiana (2-1), which dressed only nine players due to injury, dropped a 98-65 decision at TCU on Tuesday despite three players reaching double figures in scoring. Jalen Johnson scored 21 points to notch his third straight 20-point contest for the Ragin' Cajuns with Cedric Russell scoring 18 points in the first half, with Mylik Wilson finishing with 16.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns held a six-point lead in the first half against the Horned Frogs and finished 7-for-10 from behind the 3-point line in the opening 20 minutes. TCU was aided by a three-point shooting barrage in which it went 12-for-21 from behind the 3-point line in the first half en route to a school-record 18 made 3-pointers.
Â
Youngstown State (1-1) dropped a 78-55 decision at No. 5-ranked Louisville on Nov. 10 in its last contest. Naz Bohannon led the Penguins with 14 points and eight rebounds while Darius Quisenberry had 11 points and Devin Morgan 10.
Â
The meeting between Louisiana and Youngstown State will be the first-ever between the schools on the hardwood. The Penguins will be the first Horizon League team to play at the Cajundome since Oakland (Mich.) in 2012.
