The Cajuns look to match the second-longest winning streak in Cajundome history
LAFAYETTE, Louisiana – The Louisiana men's basketball team is back in the Cajundome and ready to extend one of the longest home-winning streaks in the country against Louisiana Christian on Wednesday, November 15.
With a win, the Cajuns would match the second-longest winning streak in Cajundome history, at 17 games, and tie for the longest home-winning steak under head coach Bob Marlin.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT with coverage live on ESPN+. Fans can also listen live to the voice of the Ragin' Cajuns, Jay Walker, on KPEL 96.5 FM locally or worldwide via The Varsity Network app.
The Cajuns look to get back in the win column after falling at Toledo in the first game of the MAC-SBC Challenge, 87-78. Themus Fulks scored a career-high 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting. Joe Charles continued his strong start with his second-straight double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Story Lines
• Louisiana welcomes Louisiana Christian to the 76th meeting all time between the two sides. The Cajuns have won 25 straight in this match-up with the last LCU victory coming in 1963.
• Themus Fulks is off to a strong start of the 2023-24 campaign. The junior leads the Sun Belt Conference in scoring with 22.5 points and assists at 6.0 per game through the opening week of action.
• Louisiana is 38-1 under head coach Bob Marlin against in-state, non-conference opponents at home.
• The Cajuns are 52-10 overall against in-state, non-conference opponents in the Marlin era.

• Fulks is the first Cajun with back-to-back 20-or-more point games to start a season since Jalen Johnson in 2019-20. Johnson scored at least 20 points in the team's first three games that season. Other players to score 20 or more points in the first two games of the season under coach Marlin are Elfrid Payton, 5, and Shawn Long, 2, in 2013.
