Louisiana wins third straight; travels to face South Alabama on Saturday
MONROE – Jordan Brown scored a game-high 21 points to lead five players in double figures and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns opened the game on a 21-4 run never looked back in claiming an 86-73 win over ULM in a Sun Belt Conference game on Thursday at Fant-Ewing Coliseum.
Â
Greg Williams, Jr., scored 18 points as Louisiana (13-4, 3-2 Sun Belt) finished 32-for-52 (61.5 percent) from the floor to post its best average from the floor in a SBC game since 2017. Joe Charles came off the bench to tie a career-high with 12 points with Terence Lewis II adding 11 and Kentrell Garnett 10.
Â
Louisiana scored the game's first seven points behind buckets from Brown and Lewis before Garnett buried the first of a pair of 3-pointers to give the Ragin' Cajuns a 12-2 lead. Louisiana capped off its opening run when Brown found Charles alone under the bucket for one of his career-high six assists and a 21-4 advantage with 15:06 left in the half.
Â
Brown, who was 8-for-11 from the floor, helped give Louisiana a 33-13 lead with a hook shot in the paint with 8:30 left in the half before a bucket by Charles gave Louisiana its biggest lead of the game, 43-19, with 5:51 remaining.
Â
ULM (7-11, 3-2 Sun Belt) closed to within 47-30 at halftime and closed to within 76-69 on Thomas Howell's basket with 4:07 remaining in the game before Louisiana would score the next six points as Brown and Jalen Dalcourt each hit a free throw, Garnett scored on a driving layup in the lane and Charles got a steal and dunk for an 82-69 lead with 2:25 left.
Â
Langston Powell led ULM with 19 points with Howell and Savion Gallion scoring 13 each. Tyreke Locure added 12 points for the Warhawks, who were 28-for-62 (45.2 percent) from the floor and 5-for-18 (27.8 percent) from behind the 3-point line.
Â
Louisiana will continue its four-game road swing on Saturday when it travels to Mobile, Ala., to face South Alabama in a 3 p.m. contest at the Mitchell Center. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
