Louisiana hosts Mississippi Christian on Thursday for its final preseason exhibition, using the game to sharpen its defense and build chemistry before the regular-season opener. The Cajuns enter after a 100-62 exhibition win over LSU Alexandria.

By the Numbers
  • Thursday’s exhibition tips off at 6 p.m. at the Cajundome; admission is free.
  • Louisiana beat LSU Alexandria 100-62, outrebounding it 60-27 and forcing 32 turnovers.
  • The Cajuns scored 35 second-chance points and 30 fast-break points in that win.
Yes, But

Coach Brodhead said the team still needs to improve defensively and get more players aligned on help defense. Preseason All-Sun Belt selection Imani Daniel anchors the returning group, but the Cajuns are still integrating newcomers.

State of Play
  • Mississippi Christian is playing its second exhibition in three days after an 88-40 loss to Alabama.
  • Louisiana opens the regular season Nov. 3 at home against Xavier (La.).
  • No TV or radio coverage is planned; live stats will be available online.
Bottom Line

Thursday is Louisiana’s last preseason test—and its final chance to tighten defensive execution and team cohesion before games count.
