Cajuns fall to #19 James Madison 68-61 in close one at the Cajundome
LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) -- Ragin Cajun Men's Basketball dropped to 0-2 in the Sun Belt, after a 68-61 loss to James Madison on Thursday night at the Cajundome.
The loss ended a 19-game home winning streak for Louisiana.
The Cajuns were led by Kentrell Garnett who scored 17 points. UL was 10-18 from the free throw line, and shot just 26 percent from behind the arc. Kobe Julien added 15, and Hosana Kitenge had 11.
Terrence Edwards Jr. led James Madison with 19 points.
UL Head Coach Bob Marlin was disappointed that the nation's third longest home win streak came to an end with the loss.
"Disappointed in the fact that we more so than be the top-20 team in a conference game and the fact that we lost at home," Marlin said. "Super proud of this group and that core group that has been here through all those through all 19 of them and commended them afterwards and told them how proud I was of that stat, you know, being third in the country."
