The Last Hurrah: Cajuns, ‘Toppers Clash for Final Time as SBC Foes

Barring a meeting in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, this is it for one of the Sun Belt's better rivalries.

Louisiana is at Western Kentucky tonight and the game means a lot to both teams.

WKU (19-10, 11-5) currently holds down second place in the league standings.  The Cajuns (19-10, 10-6) are a game behind.  The #2 seed gets a bye into the semifinals of the Tournament, beginning next week in New Orleans.

The Hilltoppers and Cajuns have played some memorable games and, at times, the rivalry has gotten a bit testy.  WKU leads the all-time series 25-16, 22-15 as league foes.  Tipoff at E. A. Diddle Arena in Bowling Green is at 7:05pm.  The game will be broadcast on the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Radio Network at 6;35.

WKU has won nine of its last twelve games, but lost last Saturday at UT Arlington.  The Cajuns have won 6 out of their last seven, including a 102-74 thrashing of South Alabama on Sunday.

WKU will clinch the #2 seed with a win.  The Cajuns would take that spot with a win tonight, a win at Arkansas State Saturday and a WKU loss at Georgia State.
