UL Lafayette took two of three from Coastal Carolina, but still has work to do. The Cajuns are the seven seed in the Sun Belt Tourney, which means they will play 10th seeded Marshall tomorrow afternoon in Montgomery, Alabama.

Cut 19 (11) “…get a shot.”

Louisiana Tech finished tied for fourth in the Conference USA standings, and the Bulldogs will play Sam Houston on Wednesday morning and then Liberty on Friday morning. If Tech can win both games, they will advance to the semis.
