Marathon road trip ends today for Lady Cajuns at Lamar
<blockquote><p align=justify>BEAUMONT, Texas — The long and winding road finally ends for Louisiana’s women’s basketball squad tonight.
The Cajun women play their 10th straight road game in a season-opening stretch when they face Lamar in a 7 p.m. contest at the Montagne Center. The game will air locally over KPEL-AM (1420) beginning at 6:45 p.m.
Louisiana is 4-5 on its marathon road swing and won its last outing, a 62-56 victory at Coastal Carolina back on Dec. 20 prior to a holiday break. Three of the five losses have been by four or fewer points, one in overtime.
