Louisiana Women Wrap Up November Homestand Tuesday Night

LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Basketball team meets former Sun Belt foe New Orleans on Tuesday, November 26 at 6:00 p.m. inside the Cajundome, completing the squad's November homestand.

Louisiana (2-1) enters on a two-game win streak and seeks to complete an undefeated run through the homestand. The Cajuns have won the last nine meetings with the Privateers (0-5) who make their first trip to the Cajundome since November 2021 and are in search of their first win of the season.

BOUNCE PASSES

Louisiana concludes its November homestand hosting New Orleans in the third and final game of the stretch.
It's the start of a three-game week which continues Thanksgiving weekend in the Big Easy Classic at the Alario Center with games against Cleveland State and Minnesota.
On the homestand, which opened November 8, the Ragin' Cajuns have defeated Loyola (La.) and NIcholls.
Boosted by a combined 29 bench points from Nubia Benedith and Jaylyn James, UL had a successful return from a two-week break on Friday (Nov. 22) with a 60-55 win over NIcholls.
Louisiana carries a nine-game series win streak over New Orleans into Tuesday's matchup.
Since the 2003-04 season, UL has won 19 of the last 21 meetings and is 6-0 vs. UNO with Garry Brodhead.
Led by Jaylyn James' 16.0 ppg, UL has several scoring options with six players averaging at least 8.0 ppg.
Three games in, the Cajuns are averaging 13.3 offensive rebounds while yielding only seven per game.
UL has yet to yield 60 points on the young season, holding D1 foes to an average of 56 points.
The season opener at Northern Illinois was the only game outside the state of Louisiana until the Dec. 29 SBC opener at Georgia Southern. UL is currently in a stretch where eight straight games (five at home) are in the state.
The Cajuns (17-14, 10-8 SBC in 2023-24) are coming off their fifth consecutive winning season, which marks the longest stretch in program history, capped off by a run to the SBC Championship tournament semifinals.
Louisiana has experience on its side with a combined nine players who are either a graduate or senior.
UL led the SBC in scoring defense – and ranked Top 60 nationally – holding foes below 60ppg the last two seasons.
SBC Championship all-tournament selection Tamiah Robinson, the team leader in assists (69) last season, now takes full control of the point guard position.
Erica Lafayette (Rutgers) and Kamryn Jones (Houston) are a pair of P5 transfers expected to have a significant impact. The duo turned in 20-point double-doubles in the exhibition contest.
Louisiana was picked 5th in the SBC preseason poll and Jaylyn James was a preseason all-conference selection.
