Tipoff is scheduled for 9 p.m., CT. The game will air on ACC Network Extra, with radio coverage on KPEL-FM 96.5 in Lafayette and worldwide on the Varsity Network app.
Louisiana (1-3), which opened its road trip on Friday at McNeese, plays the first of three games in the Bay Area, beginning with its first-ever clash with Stanford (3-0). The Ragin' Cajuns will also face Santa Clara and UC Davis on their first trip to the Golden State since facing UCLA and Pepperdine in the 2015-16 season.
Dorian Finister, who scored a career-high 25 points against McNeese, is one of three players averaging in double figures for Louisiana at 11.8 points per game.
