UL's women's basketball team expected Florida Atlantic to come with a madcap all-out pressing defense Thursday night. The Ragin' Cajuns also expected to control the backboards against the struggling Owls. Both of those happened, but the latter became a much bigger factor as UL rolled to its seventh-straight Sun Belt Conference win. The Cajuns out rebounded FAU by a 58-31 margin and had four players each score 14 points in a balanced attack that provided an easy 79-61 victory at the FAU Arena in Boca Raton, Fla. UL (17-5, 9-2 Sun Belt), now leading the Western Division by one-and-a-half games heading into a Sunday showdown with unbeaten Eastern Division leader Middle Tennessee, used a 13-0 run midway through the second half to turn a six-point game into a 56-37 advantage with 8:50 left on a Yolanda Jones free throw. "In the second half, we were going to shoot it close in or we were going to get to the line," Cajun coach J. Kelley Hall said. "We were able to beat them by 18 points at the line and 18 was the final margin, so that was huge." tHE REST OF THE STORY Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

I think our ladies are fully capable of beating MT. Not sure if they actually will though. I look for them to at least play a good game, close game. As nice as it would be for us to win this one, I look for us to use this to learn about MT and figure them out. That way, come conference tourney time, we can have an even better chance at beating them, when it REALLY counts.

God Bless

GEAUX UL LADY CAJUNS BASKETBALL!

UL's Lady Cajun basketball team will play in the Sun Belt Conference's "game of the year" Sunday when the Cajuns visit nationally-ranked Middle Tennessee. In case someone's been locked away in a time capsule, this is not a misprint. The program that was at rock-bottom, one that won 26 league games in the entire decade of the '90s and went 15 seasons without a winning record, will actually play a game with NCAA Tournament ramifications at 2 p.m. Sunday at Middle's Murphy Center in Murfreesboro, Tenn. UL (17-5, 9-2 Sun Belt) is the league's Western Division leader by 1 1/2 games and has won seven straight contests. Middle Tennessee (18-3, 10-0 Sun Belt) is the East Division leader by 2 1/2 games, has won 15 straight games and is ranked 19th nationally in the AP poll.

One of the UL women's basketball team's goals this week was avoiding foresight. No one wanted to look ahead to today, to one of the Sun Belt Conference's biggest games of the season, until all other tasks were completed. But, once the Cajuns had finished off Florida Atlantic 79-61 in Boca Raton, Fla., Thursday night, it didn't take long for thoughts to turn to today's 2 p.m. battle with Middle Tennessee in Murfreesboro, Tenn. "It started when we were walking to the locker room," said Cajun coach J. Kelley Hall. "This is a game you don't have to motivate anybody for. It's the kind of game the kids get excited about and that they want to compete in." The 19th-ranked Blue Raiders (18-3, 10-0), winners of 15 straight games and listed 16th in two different RPI rankings as of Saturday, provide the biggest conference test for a UL squad that has won seven straight and leads the Western Division. "This is the best team we've played since Tennessee back in November," said Middle coach Rick Insell of the Cajuns. "They're very athletic and long. They really handled Western Kentucky in Bowling Green two weeks ago." The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

UL's women's basketball squad had things close to where the Cajuns wanted them at halftime of Sunday's pivotal Sun Belt Conference contest at Middle Tennessee. That was before the host Blue Raiders started raining in shots and the Cajun squad saw its offensive struggles multiply. Middle put together a 27-3 run in less than seven minutes early in the second half, breaking open a close game and eventually rolling to an 84-57 victory in the matchup of Sun Belt divisional leaders. The 19th-ranked Blue Raiders (19-3, 11-0 Sun Belt) won a school-record 16th straight game, and for the second game in a row MT broke things open just after halftime.

For the second time in three seasons, UL's women's basketball team can determine its own fate in the Sun Belt Conference Western Division race. Two seasons ago, the Ragin' Cajun women won six of seven games to end the month of February, including a last-second 66-64 home victory over Arkansas State that gave UL sole possession of the Western Division title. It was the first conference crown of any type in the program's history. That season, UL had some wiggle room, being able to afford one loss down the stretch and still claiming the West crown. This season, the scenario is exactly the same. The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com
