The Ragin’ Cajuns have won five road games in SBC play by an average margin of 13.0
JONESBORO, Ark. – Louisiana women's basketball concludes its four-game road swing as it travels to face Arkansas State on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. inside the Convocation Center.
With just three regular season games remaining, the Ragin' Cajuns are in a tie for fourth at 10-5 in the Sun Belt Conference standings, a game back from first place. Louisiana is tied with Texas State and Southern Miss, who both travel to Lafayette, Louisiana, next week to close out the season.
Head coach Garry Brodhead's squad has won seven of its last nine. Over that stretch, Tamera Johnson has been the catalyst as she leads the team in scoring (13.0 ppg), rebounding (8.1) and steals (19).
No strangers to winning on the road, the Ragin' Cajuns have won five in conference action with an average margin of victory of 13.0, including a 20-point win at Texas State.
Louisiana is coming off a 57-46 victory at ULM, its 18th-straight over the Warhawks, as Lanay Wheaton and Sherry Porter each scored a team-high 14 points. Caira Wren hauled in 10 rebounds and set a new career high in blocks with four.
Arkansas State (9-17, 4-11) is coming off a 20-point triumph against South Alabama on Thursday, 78-58. Izzy Higginbottom leads the Red Wolves, averaging 14.6 points per game to go along with a team-high 83 assists and 42 steals. Anna Griffin adds 9.6 points and a team-high 7.7 rebounds.
The Red Wolves lead the all-time series against Louisiana, 52-25, but the Ragin' Cajuns have won the last seven. Earlier this season, Louisiana edged out Arkansas State, 49-48, in overtime on Jan. 21.
The game can be seen on ESPN+ with Brad Bobo and Carol Halford calling the action. Fans in the Acadiana region can listen to Steve Peloquin call the action on 960 AM or worldwide on the Varsity Network app. Live stats can be found on CajunStats.com.
