Louisiana rallied late but couldn’t overcome a prolonged second-half scoring drought, falling 67-60 to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at the Cajundome. Jamyron Keller scored 19 points and Mekhi Cooper added 17 for the Ragin’ Cajuns, who remain winless.

By the Numbers
  • Louisiana shot 15 of 48 from the field (31.3%) and 7 of 20 from 3-point range.
  • The Cajuns missed 13 straight shots and went more than 11 minutes without a second-half basket.
  • Texas A&M-Corpus Christi outrebounded Louisiana 40-22 and held a 26-16 edge in points in the paint.
Yes, But

Louisiana closed within six points in the final minute, sparked by De’Vion Lavergne’s back-to-back 3-pointers, but the Islanders made a late free throw to seal the win.

What’s Next

The Cajuns return to the Cajundome Monday, Nov. 9, to host Southern-New Orleans. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Bottom Line

Louisiana showed late fight, but its shooting slump and deficit on the boards proved too much to overcome.
