Louisiana’s five game win streak ended at the hands of South Alabama, 46-43, on Tuesday.
This loss came as a gut punch as the Jaguars were 1-15 in Sun Belt play, and the Cajuns had just beaten then by 32 points a week ago.
However, USA looked determined to get the upset, jumping out to a lead as large as 13.
UL then came out of recess and put together a 16-0 to take the lead going into the fourth quarter.
But in the closing frame, the Jags gutted it out and handed the Cajuns a discouraging loss.
This loss is even more of a head scratcher because of the amount of free throws that the Cajuns missed. UL shot 28% from the charity stripe, which is 40% lower than their season average.
UL (14-13; 9-8 SBC) now gets a few days to recover before closing out the regular season on Friday against Southern Miss at 5:00 p.m.
