Louisiana Wraps Up Roadtrip At Georgia Southern

[NewsCopy]

The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Men's Basketball team wraps up a rugged five-game-in-10 day stretch on Saturday when it visits Georgia Southern in a Sun Belt Conference clash at Hanner Fieldhouse.

Tipoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. CT. The game can be heard in the Lafayette area on KHXT 107.9 FM, ESPN 1420 AM and the ESPN 1420 app. The game will also be available on ESPN+ with live results available at CajunStats.com.

Louisiana (7-10, 2-4 Sun Belt) returns to action after dropping a Thursday night contest at Georgia State. The Ragin' Cajuns, who dressed nine players in the game due to injuries, had seven scholarship players available in the game and set season-lows in points, field goal percentage (28.8 percent), field goals made (17) and steals (2).

Jalen Johnson, who scored 12 points in the game, leads Louisiana in scoring (14.1) with Cedric Russell (13.5) next.

Georgia Southern (10-7, 4-2 Sun Belt) snapped a two-game losing streak with a 67-56 victory over ULM on Thursday. Isaiah Crawley and Elijah McCadden combined for 30 points and five 3-pointers as the Eagles built a 37-25 lead at halftime and held the Warhawks to 3-for-15 from behind the 3-point line.

No idea. I just know that in his game preview in the Acadiana Advocate Kevin Foote stated Wilson is questionable for the game today. They cannot win without him at this stage and is a challenge to have a competitive game. They do expect him and Hardy to be back for next Thursday's game against UTA. Despite how badly we need him, I sit him today if he is still sore so as to have him healthy for the rest of the year. It's not like it can be any worse than Thursday was.

The Cajuns will dress out 7 scholarship players and 9 players overall for the 2nd game in a row.
