    Sounds like fun.

  4. UL Basketball WBB: Troy's physical rebounding proves too much for Cajuns in SBC title game

    The UL Ragin’ Cajuns women’s basketball team hasn’t had to rebound from a loss since New Year’s Day.

    So ironically it was rebounding responsible for coach Garry Brodhead’s team having to bounce back from a loss for the first time in 16 games.



  5. UL Basketball WBB: Louisiana Falls to Troy, 73-65, in Sun Belt Tournament Final



    Louisiana gave Troy all it could handle for four quarters in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship Game, but the Ragin' Cajuns' valiant effort came up short as the Trojans won the tournament title with a 73-65 victory on Monday afternoon.

    Four of the team's starters scored in double figures during the contest, with senior Skyler Goodwin leading the way with 14 points and 10 rebounds, her first double-double of the season.

    Fellow seniors Jomyra Mathis and Ty'Reona Doucet scored 14 points and 13 points, respectively, and each grabbed five rebounds, while Brandi Williams scored 12 points aided by a 4-for-7 effort from long range to secure All-Tournament honors.

    Kimberly Burton fell just short of a double-double of her own, notching eight points and seven rebounds.

    The two teams were evenly matched statistically through four quarters, but Troy used a 58-40 advantage on the glass to score 24 second-chance points.

    Monday's first quarter started off slow as both offenses struggled to get going, but Troy finally broke ahead with a 6-0 run, capped by a jumper from Tyasia Moore, to put the Trojans up, 14-7, after 10 minutes.

    A jumper by Destiny McAfee, who scored four points in the game and hauled in six rebounds, and a 3-pointer off the hand of Goodwin cut the deficit to 14-12 31 seconds into the second period. Troy regained the momentum moments later and closed the half on a 22-10 run to take a 36-22 lead into the break.

    The Trojans maintained a double-digit advantage throughout the majority of the third quarter until Doucet hit a turnaround jumper with 2:25 on the clock to pull her team within 50-43. Troy's offense once again responded, going ahead 56-45 with ten minutes to play.

    Things looked to be swinging in Louisiana's favor when it opened the final quarter on an 8-0 run to pull within 56-53 following a Williams triple. That run was quickly cancelled out, though, when Troy popped off an 8-0 rally of its own to go back up by 11 points.

    With one final push left in the tank, Williams got the team within six points (69-63) with 1:26 to play, but it was not enough as the Trojans held on to win the tournament crown, 73-65.

    By virtue of winning the Sun Belt Regular Season Championship, the Ragin' Cajuns have automatically qualified to participate in the 2021 Postseason WNIT. The tournament's official bracket has not yet been released.

    Good point. It's not the dance, but they were close. A lot to be proud of and build on for next year.

    Any tournament will be weird this year. All the teams have pretty much beat up each other in conference games only, so who knows how they will match up against OOC opponents.

  9. UL Basketball Big rebounding edge, second-chance points power Troy past Cajuns in Sun Belt women's final

    Gary Brodhead had no issue answering several questions during the postgame press conference - except for one direct one.

    Brodhead was asked by the moderator about rebounding - in particular the vast difference in boards between his University of Louisiana basketball team and the Troy Trojans.

    "second-chance points" were the difference.
