Disappointing loss for the Pelicans last night as they gave up 22 3-pointers to Dallas and the Mavericks dribbled past New Orleans 128-120. The 22 3s is a franchise record for the Mavs. New Orleans did not come ready to play as they fell behind by 26 points in the 1st half. New Orleans spoiled a monster game from DeMarcus Cousins who had 32 points and 20 rebounds. Tonight, the Knicks visit the Smoothie King Center.

 

The Ragin Cajuns jumped out to a double digit lead in the 1st half and went on to beat Little Rock 77-63. U-L Lafayette is now 11-3 and 1-0 in the Sun Belt. Byrce Washington had 15 points and 19 rebounds. ULM lost its Sun Belt opener, falling to Arkansas State 75-64, despite 22 points from Travis Munnings.

 

In other action tonight, Louisiana Tech is at Marshall. McNeese State hosts Northwestern State. Nicholls takes on Incarnate Word in Thibodaux. And UNO is at Houston Baptist.
