Louisiana, the Sun Belt regular season champions five years running and winners of 40-plus games for the 25th straight season, earned the program's first national seed and NCAA Regional host site since 2016. It's the fifth time hosting a regional in the current postseason format (2012, 2014-16, 2024), and the 13th time overall.

Friday's play marks the start of the Ragin' Cajuns 25th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament, a streak which dates back to the 1999 season. It's the 33rd appearance overall in the past 34 editions of the NCAA Tournament for the nationally recognized program - since 1990, the Louisiana has missed the NCAA's postseason event only once (1998). A year ago, UL advanced to the NCAA Super Regional round and seeks back-to-back trips for the first time since 2015-16.
