ABOUT LOUISIANA
The 2025-26 season marks the 14th season with head coach Garry Brodhead leading the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Basketball program. Brodhead, the program's winningest and only head coach to reach both 100 and 200 victories (215-181 career record), has led UL to a winning record in nine of the past 11 seasons.

Last season the Ragin' Cajuns (13-16, 9-9 SBC) continued to turn out the Sun Belt's top scoring defense, finishing as the league leader for the third consecutive season. The league's Newcomer of the Year suited up for Louisiana with Erica Lafayette, who led the team averaging 14.5 points, claiming the honor.

Louisiana reloaded its roster with players that compliment Brodhead's trademark style of speed, shooting and pressing. The veterans are highlighted by SBC transfers Mikaylah Manley (Southern Miss), Jazmyne Jackson (Georgia Southern) and Tulane transfer Lily Ba while the highly touted freshman class of Louisiana products including Imani Daniel, Arionna Patterson and Amijah Price – all rated Top 10 prospects from the state – makes its debut.
