PENSACOLA, Fla. – Winners of eight of its last nine, the Louisiana women's basketball team takes on James Madison in the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament on Sunday at the Pensacola Bay Center.
No strangers to the SBC semifinals, the Cajuns are making their fourth semifinal appearance in the last five years.

Louisiana trailed by as many as 12 points before coming back to upset the second-seeded Troy Trojans, 67-65, in the first upset of the tournament Friday. Tamiah Robinson and Jaylyn James each finished with 15 points, with Robinson hitting a pair of huge threes down the stretch. Tamera Johnson added 12 points in the win.
Sunday's contest is the second meeting between the two teams this season as the Dukes came away with a 77-72 overtime victory in Harrisonburg on Jan. 6. Brandi Williams led the way for UL as she scored 20 points as James had 12 and Johnson had 10.
Destiny Rice, Robinson, and Ashlyn Jones closed the quarter with a 6-0 run to give Louisiana a 54-50 lead heading into the final quarter. Robinson opened the fourth with a three to push the lead to seven, the largest of the game for the Cajuns. In the span of 1:06, the Trojans answered with a 7-0 run and tied the score at 57. With the score tied at 61, Robinson connected twice from deep on the wing to ahead 67-63 with 2:05 to play. Troy responded with a basket but the Louisiana defense held them scoreless over the final 1:53 of action to hold on for the win.
For the season, Williams paces the Cajun offense with 10.8 points per game while Johnson is second with 10.4 points and hauls in a team-high 6.3 rebounds. James ranks third at 8.3 points per game.
