The Cajuns look to snap a three-game skid against the Trojans
LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana men's basketball team returns to the Cajundome to face Troy in Sun Belt Conference action on Wednesday. The Cajuns enter the week as one of five schools in the SBC tied for eighth place.
The Cajuns are coming off a comeback win over Northern Illinois on Saturday. Trailing by as as many as 13, Louisiana overcame a slow start for the 66-64 win. That earned the Cajuns a split as part of the MAC-SBC Challenge for the second year in a row.
Kentrell Garnett led the way with 12 points and was the only Cajun in double figures. All 10 players scored and grabbed a rebound in the win. Five players had multiple assists with Garnett, Kyran Ratliff, and Michael Thomas leading the way with three each.
Troy comes in after losing their last two to James Madison and Miami (OH) on the road. The Trojans are just 5-6 on the year on the road. They're led offensively by Tayton Conerway's 13.3 points per game.
