UL's Lady Cajuns basketball team has won 40 games over the last two seasons thanks to defense and rebounding, and if Sunday is any indication that will be the squad's formula for success again this season.
The Lady Cajuns shut down Texas State's offensive attack and took a nearly 30-rebound advantage over the Bobcats, easily rolling to a 59-39 victory in the opening game of the Texas Basketball Travelers Classic.
The Cajuns (1-0) now face an even bigger challenge today, meeting tournament host Texas in a 7:30 p.m. contest in the Erwin Center. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Southwest (Lafayette cable channel 38). Texas downed Maryland-Eastern Shore 78-55 in Sunday's other first-round game.
