Senior guard Mason Harrell, who missed the conference opener, also scored 14 points and dished out four assists. Senior guard Shelby Adams and senior forward Isiah Small added 14 and 13 points apiece.
The Ragin’ Cajuns dropped their previous game to the University of Texas at Arlington 83-73 on Thursday. Redshirt freshman forward Kobe Julien led ULL in scoring with 20 points on 8-15 shooting from the field.
The Bobcats lose the all-time series against ULL 14-5. Their last win was on Jan. 2, 2021, when the ‘Cats won 71-59 at Lafayette.
