Tennessee may just be in for a little bit of an early test on Friday night at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Vols will welcome in the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns, formerly known as Louisiana-Lafayette. The Ragin’ Cajuns are 1-0 on the year, looking to build off of a 27 win campaign and a conference title last year. Coach Bob Marlin was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year for his efforts in 2018-19, leading Louisiana to an appearance in the NIT, where they lost to LSU.
Louisiana lost two all-conference performers from last year’s squad, but do return three starters this year.
