The Ragin Cajuns put their perfect 5-0 Sun Belt record on the line tonight when they visit U-T Arlington — the preseason favorite to win the league. In four of U-L Lafayette’s conference wins, they’ve allowed 64 points or less. Coach Bob Marlin says that’s been key…:
Cut 18 (17) “help us win”

Louisiana Tech is in last place in Conference USA with a 1-and-5 record. But they play the next seven of nine at the Thomas Assembly Center. The Bulldogs host North Texas tonight and Coach Eric Konkol says his team has lost some close games and he knows why…:
