Cajuns Aim To Extend Home Winning Streak to 18 Monday Night
11/26/2023 3:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
A win would extend the home winning streak to the second-longest in Cajundome history
LAFAYETTE, Louisiana – History could be made Monday night in the Cajundome as the Louisiana men's basketball team hosts Loyola (N.O.). The Ragin' Cajuns look to win their 18th straight at home for the second-longest winning streak in facility history. The win would also mark the 600th in the illustrious career of head coach Bob Marlin, across stops at Louisiana, Sam Houston State, and Pensacola Junior College.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. 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 returned with two wins last week at the Gulf Coast Showcase, including a record-setting performance in the final game against Long Beach State. The Cajuns matched the program record of 18 threes, tying the high-water mark they set just a week prior, in a 92-82 victory. Kentrell Garnett and Blake Butler scored 20 points each while Joe Charles secured his fourth double-double of the season.
Kobe Julien had a huge event, averaging 22.3 points per game, and was named to the All-Tournament Team. The junior scored a career-high 30 on Tuesday in a 68-60 win over Buffalo.
Story Lines
• Head coach Bob Marlin looks to join an elite coaching fraternity with 600 career wins. The long-time head coach has 599 wins to his name across stops at Pensacola JC, Sam Houston State, and Louisiana. Last week against Buffalo he earned the 250th of his career at Louisiana.
• Kobe Julien had a huge Gulf Coast Showcase for the Cajuns. Over the three-day event, the junior averaged 22.3 points per game and 4.3 rebounds as the Cajuns went 2-1. Julien was named to the All-Tournament Team for his efforts.
• With their second game with 18 made 3's, the Cajuns are the only team in the country to reach that number twice this season. They lead the SBC with 11.0 per game and are 10th nationally.
• The Cajuns have been elite at not only knocking down shots from long range but also defending the three. They are 7th nationally, allowing opposing teams to shoot just 22.6 percent from deep.
• Joe Charles has been a man on a mission, recording 4 double-doubles in 6 games. The junior was just 1 point shy against Wright State and 1 rebound short against Buffalo of going 6-for-6 in double-doubles this season.
