The Ragin' Cajuns and Trojans are a mere one week removed from having met in the regular season finale series at Lamson Park. Starting with an incredible comeback win in game two, erasing a seven-run deficit, Louisiana recovered from a series deficit and overcame Troy.

UL and Troy meet in the SBC Championship tournament for the fifth time, the Cajuns having won the previous four matchups (2006, 2010, 2011, 2022). The two programs last met in the SBC's postseason event back in 2022 in Mobile.

Louisiana carries a 15-game win streak in the SBC Championship tournament, which began during the 2019 event in San Marcos, into Friday's semifinal contest with Troy.

Louisiana has claimed the SBC Championship title 18 times in the 23-year history of the event, and is seeking to claim a fifth consecutive championship and defend its most recent titles claimed in San Marcos (Texas) in 2019, Troy (Alabama) in 2021, Mobile (Alabama) in 2022 and at Lamson Park in 2023.
