This is just the fifth time the schools have faced each other since 1971
LAFAYETTE—For just the fifth time in the last 50 years, the Louisiana men's basketball team will take on Southeastern Louisiana tomorrow at 7 PM in the Cajundome.
Kentrell Garnett had a huge offensive game on Sunday for the Ragin' Cajuns against Louisiana Tech. The senior scored a career-high 23 points, knocking down five from three-point range, one off a career-best. Despite his efforts, the Cajuns fell to the Bulldogs 69-58, the first time the home side has lost in the series in five tries.
The Lions had won two in a row before falling in their Southland Conference opener last Thursday against Nicholls, 67-64. Sam Hines Jr. posted a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Lions in the effort. He comes into the week as the team's leading scorer at 14.1 ppg and rebounder at 7.8 per game.
