Ragin’ Cajuns use an 11-0 first-quarter run and a 60-27 rebounding advantage to pull away
LAFAYETTE – Ndioba Lo posted a double-double to lead five players in double figures as the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Basketball team used a commanding rebounding advantage and relentless defensive pressure to defeat LSU Alexandria 100-62 in an exhibition on Thursday, October 22 at the Cajundome.
The Ragin' Cajuns outrebounded the Generals 60-27, collecting 35 offensive rebounds that helped produce 35 second-chance points. UL also forced 32 turnovers, recorded 18 steals and converted those takeaways into 35 points while never trailing.
Lo finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds in just over 13 minutes, grabbing 11 boards on the offensive end. She shot 6-of-11 from the field to anchor a Louisiana attack that generated 60 points in the paint.
Bailey Timmons and Kayllis Walker added 11 points apiece, while Malaya Jones and Aminata Sowe each scored 10. Preseason All-SBC selection Imani Daniel supplied eight points and six rebounds, while Arionna Patterson scored nine points during 11 minutes of action in the second half.
Walker and Sowe contributed eight rebounds each, and Jones led the Cajuns with four assists. Jones, Jazmyne Jackson and Janja Dragisic shared the team lead with three steals apiece.
All 13 Louisiana players scored, with the reserves combining for 46 points.
UL shot 43.8% from the field, attempting 96 shots to LSUA's 46, and added 30 fast-break points.
HOW IT HAPPENED
After the Generals pulled even at 5-all at 6:33, Jackson's 3-pointer launched an 11-0 run. Walker capped the surge with consecutive baskets, helping the Ragin' Cajuns establish a 16-5 advantage by the 3:44 mark before finishing the opening quarter ahead 20-13.
Sowe scored twice around a Lo putback to stretch the lead to 32-17 four minutes into the second quarter, then Daniel's follow-up basket at 3:06 pushed the margin past 20 at 40-19. Louisiana carried a 46-24 advantage into halftime.
Lo supplied five consecutive points during the third quarter, and Amijah Price followed with a three-point play to make it 69-35 prior to the 3-minute mark. The Ragin' Cajuns led 72-41 entering the fourth and scored 28 points in the final period, stretching their advantage to as many as 40 in the closing minute.
