The Storylines
• ULM is 4-4 against the Southland Conference since the start of the 2013-14 season.
• The Warhawks enter the 7 p.m. Saturday game with back-to-back losses to perennial Sun Belt contender UL Lafayette and Big 12 foe TCU. The squad took the week off to focus on final exams.
• The TCU game snapped the season-opening streak of six consecutive contests against Louisiana teams. Nine of the first 10 Warhawk opponents are from the state, and the team only leaves Louisiana once prior to a Jan. 7 contest at Arkansas State.
