Ragin’ Cajuns are 1-0 all-time over the Eagles in the league tournament
LAFAYETTE – After wrapping up the regular season with a win over Texas State, No. 4 Louisiana enters Sun Belt Conference Tournament play on Tuesday when it hosts Georgia Southern at the Cajundome. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.
Â
Louisiana (17-12, 10-8 SBC) will be hosting a Sun Belt Tournament game for the first time since the 2006-07 season. The team won two games in that tournament before losing to Middle Tennessee, 77-67, on March 6, 2007.
Â
In its last regular season contest, Louisiana picked up a big win over Texas State by a score of 70-64. Skyler Goodwin led four Cajuns in double figures with 17 points, just ahead of Kimberly Burton (15) and Brandi Williams (12).
Â
Junior Ty'Reona Doucet, who scored 10 points and brought down a team-best nine rebounds in the win over the Bobcats, was named to the Sun Belt All-Conference Second Team after a dominant junior year. Doucet leads the team in scoring (12.4 ppg) and rebounding (7.4 rpg) this season.
Â
Louisiana and Georgia Southern split the season series, with the Eagles winning, 83-67, on Jan. 4 in Statesboro and the Ragin' Cajuns winning, 72-60, in Lafayette on Feb. 15. The Ragin' Cajuns still hold the edge in the all-time series at 9-3, with all 12 games coming under Garry Brodhead. Louisiana is 6-0 against Georgia Southern in Lafayette.
Â
The winner of Tuesday night's game will face off with the winner of Little Rock and Appalachian State, which will be held in the Cajundome on Tuesday at 3 p.m. Tickets for both contests can be purchased here.
