FIVE THINGS TO KNOW

Growing the Game: The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Department of Athletics is introducing free admission to Women's Basketball games at the Cajundome beginning with the 2022-23 season. Louisiana looks to enhance fan support and experience for students and families with both the new admission initiative and the addition of interactive in-game events, on-court promotions, and season-long themes.
The Next Decade: Garry Brodhead, the all-time winningest coach in Louisiana Women's Basketball history, wrapped up 10 years at the helm in 2021-22. The Ragin' Cajuns are embarking on Year No. 11 with Brodhead during the 2022-23 season.
Backcourt Duo Back to Work: Back to guide the offense is Destiny Rice, who led the team with 62 assists in 2021-22, and Lanay Wheaton who was the team's second-leading scorer (11.4 ppg) and a 44-percent shooter.
Tamera's Turn: With the departure of Ty Doucet, it's now a chance for Lafayette native Tamera Johnson to be the leader in the post. Johnson ranked Top 20 in the Sun Belt in rebounding, overall, and hauled in 100-plus defensive rebounds last season.
Our Calling Card: Expect defense to continue to be the name of game for Garry Brodhead's Ragin' Cajuns. In 2021-22, the team ranked first in the Sun Belt Conference and 19th nationally in field goal percentage defense (35.7).

UP NEXT FOR LOUISIANA
Louisiana officially begins regular season play in the 2022-23 season on Monday, November 7 hosting Houston at the Cajundome. The matchup kicks off the 11th season of the Garry Brodhead era.

Tipoff for the Ragin' Cajuns-Cougars contest is set for 5:00 p.m., and it's the first half of a doubleheader with the Louisiana men's squad.
