Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun men's basketball team returns to the hardwood on Saturday night, when coach Bob Marlin's squad travels to Lake Charles, La. to take on the McNeese St. Cowboys, in non-conference action.

Louisiana hasn't played since last Saurday, December 1, when they defeated North Texas, 80-76, in Sun Belt Conference action, to improve to 3-5 overall, and 1-1 in league play, while McNeese St. has won two straight, to improve to 3-3 on the season.

The Cajuns are led by freshman center Shawn Long, who is averaging 16.9 points, and 8.0 rebounds-per-game, while the Cowboys are paced by senior guard Dontae Cannon, who is averaging 12.5 points a contest.

Louisiana leads the all-time series, 54-33, including a 78-56 win in Lafayette last year.

Tip-off time is scheduled for 7 o'clock.
