LAFAYETTE – The November matchups for the 2024-25 women's basketball season MAC-SBC Challenge were announced on Thursday (June 27, 2024), sending Louisiana on the road to face Northern Illinois on Monday, November 4.
Tipoff time for the Ragin' Cajuns-Huskies contest at the NIU Convocation Center in DeKalb, Illinois will be announced at a later date.
The game also serves as the regular season opener for Louisiana (17-14, 10-8 SBC in 2023-24) which will be beginning its 13th season under the direction of head coach Garry Brodhead.
The MAC-SBC Challenge is a scheduling alliance in the sports of men's and women's basketball between the Mid-American Conference and Sun Belt Conference. Each MAC and Sun Belt team included in the MAC-SBC Challenge is guaranteed one home and one away game.
The second MAC-SBC Challenge contest will take place on Saturday, February 8, 2025, with the matchups set based on real-time NET rankings and announced in January. The MAC men and Sun Belt women will host the February matchups.
In the inaugural year of the event last winter, Louisiana split its matchups with Kent State (home) and Central Michigan (away), highlighted by Tamiah Robinson's game-winning three-pointer in a 54-51 win at CMU in February.
