Cajuns thump Trojans 2nd time
A late rally was the difference between the first meeting and the second, but Louisiana-Lafayette still handed UALR another loss Saturday.
Four weeks after the Ragin' Cajuns handed the Trojans one of their worst home losses, they jumped to a 20-point lead 12 minutes into the game and led by 24 points in the second half.
A late surge got UALR within six points, but it couldn't get any closer in a 88-82 defeat Saturday at the Cajundome in Lafayette, La.
UALR used a 18-2 run in the final minutes to get within 82-76 after Andre Jones and Marcus Johnson made consecutive threes within 13 seconds of one another in the final minute, but Johnathan Stove made two free throws to seal it.
