Ragin' Cajuns To Open Sun Belt play on Wednesday at Arkansas State
RUSTON – Daquan Bracey scored a game-high 26 points to lead three players in double figures and Louisiana Tech used an 18-3 run in the first half to pull away and defeat the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns, 77-59, in a men's non-conference basketball game on Saturday at the Thomas Assembly Center.
Â
Isaiah Crawford added 13 points and Amorie Archibald 12 as Louisiana Tech (7-3) built a 44-29 lead at halftime while holding Louisiana (5-5) to 20-for-61 (32.8 percent) from the floor and 4-for-21 from behind the 3-point line.
Â
Louisiana took an 8-7 lead on Jalen Johnson's 3-pointer with 17:28 remaining in the first half and 20-19 on a bucket by Dou Gueye at the 12:35 mark. That would be the last lead for the Ragin' Cajuns, who would go without a field goal for the next 7:35 while the Bulldogs would go on a 13-1 run.
Â
Bracey, who finished 10-for-12 from the floor and 5-for-7 from behind the 3-point line, sank a 3-pointer for the Bulldogs with 5:23 remaining for a 32-21 lead before Derric Jean followed with a 3-pointer on the next possession.
Â
Louisiana closed to within 61-46 on Mylik Wilson's basket with 8:20 remaining, but the Ragin' Cajuns would go cold from the floor for the next 5:07, missing their next 10 attempts from the floor until a bucket by Johnson with 3:13 remaining.
Â
Mo Muhammad pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds for the Bulldogs, who held a 48-35 advantage on the glass while holding a 15-0 cushion in second chance points during the first half.
Â
Johnson and Cedric Russell scored 13 points each to lead Louisiana with Gueye adding 10. Johnson pulled down nine rebounds for the Ragin' Cajuns with Wilson tying a season-high with four steals.
