LAFAYETTE (Press Release) – The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns men’s basketball team returns home to the Cajundome for the first time in nearly three weeks when it plays host to South Alabama in a Sun Belt Conference game on Thursday.
Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+ with Dan McDonald (pxp) and Eric Mouton (color) on the call.

Louisiana (11-7, 2-3 SBC) dropped a 99-95 decision at ULM last Saturday and returns to the Cajundome for the first time since a 75-61 victory over Little Rock on Jan. 5.
JaKeenan Gant, fourth in the Sun Belt Conference in scoring (20.5) and third in rebounds (8.3), has notched seven double-doubles on the season, including his last four games. The 6-foot-8 forward, who is averaging 30.6 points per game in SBC play, is one of two players nationally currently averaging 30 points or more per game in league action.
