Point guard Elfrid Payton picked up his fourth foul with 18 minutes and five seconds left in the second half, and promptly took a seat on UL bench with the Ragin’ Cajuns leading by 19 at the time but the game still very much in the balance.

Big man Shawn Long sat as well after getting tagged with his fourth with 12:13 to go, and the Cajun advantage at 22.
