  BATON ROUGE, La. - In the first round of the Sue Gunter Classic, North Carolina A&T proved too much for Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball team as UL fell to the Lady Aggies, 78-95, at the Pete Maravich Center on Tuesday evening.

Down by one at the 16:42 mark, the Lady Aggies went on a 16-5 run to take a 27-15 lead with 11:56 remaining in the half.

Despite shooting 51.7 percent (15-29) in the first frame, the Cajuns found themselves trailing 36-49 entering halftime. The Lady Aggies were able to knock down 65.6 percent of their field goals (21-32).

In the second half, A&T built up a 26-point lead with less than 10 minutes remaining to coast to the victory.

The Cajuns struggled on the night committing 24 turnovers which led to 21 points for North Carolina A&T.

Alexis Green led UL with a season-high 24 points and seven rebounds. Mercedes Johnson chipped in 19 points.

_ Jerry Baldwin, round 2A _

When does the horror end for women's basketball? The only good news is UL doesn't have to play LSU who would be them by 50 points. What does it take for our AD to do something. He has made so many poor quality hires it is rediculous. When does he retire?

Your second point is totally valid. The AD has made several terrible hires.

As to the first point??? the tiggers would lay 100 on us and hold us to 20.

The horror can only start to end when Rogers is canned or quits in embarrassment.

The Cajun women's basketball team beat Houston Baptist by a score of 86 to 76 this afternoon. That is their third win. I am surprised they reached that total prior to Jan. 1 of 2010.
