How To Watch
What to Know
Louisiana has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are set to clash at 3:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Pensacola Bay Center in a Sun Belt postseason contest. Louisiana has been getting the ball to fall more lately as they’ve increased their point totals each of their last three games.
Last Friday, the Ragin Cajuns strolled past the Golden Eagles with points to spare, taking the game 77-61.
Meanwhile, Coastal Carolina finally caught a break after four consecutive losses. They secured a 75-71 W over the Warhawks on Tuesday. Winning is a bit easier when your three-point shooting is a whole 37.5% better than the opposition, as Coastal Carolina’s was.
Coastal Carolina can attribute much of their success to Jacob Meyer, who scored 32 points along with six rebounds and five assists. It was the first time this season that Meyer scored 20 or more points.
The Ragin Cajuns’ victory bumped their record up to 18-13. As for the Chanticleers, their victory bumped their record up to 9-21.
Louisiana is hoping to beat the odds on Thursday, as the experts think they’re headed for a loss. This contest will be their fifth straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 1-2 against the spread).

State Treasurer John Fleming accuses Jeff Landry of interfering in Louisiana Senate race
BATON ROUGE (KNOE) – Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming is accusing Governor Jeff Landry of interfering with the state Senate race, which Fleming is a part of.
Fleming took to social media to accuse Landry of working “behind the scenes” to get Congresswoman Julia Letlow elected to the Senate.
According to Fleming, Dr. Ralph Abraham offered him the position of Deputy Director of the CDC shortly before announcing he was stepping down. Fleming said he politely declined.
A week later, news broke that Abraham is now leading Letlow’s Senate campaign.
“We know that Jeff has been heavily lobbying the Trump campaign team for the endorsement, he is pressuring the Republican Party of Louisiana and the Republican Executive Committees to support and endorse Letlow as well,” Fleming wrote on Facebook. “And, he is personally calling his donors to raise big money to save the Letlow campaign.
Landry formally endorsed Letlow for the U.S. Senate on March 4. Letlow also has the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
“We need a warrior who stands with the President to Make America Great. And there’s no greater warrior than a Louisiana mom,” Landry wrote on Facebook.
Fleming continued his commentary, asking when Landry will stop interfering with the state’s Senate race.
“Who is best to decide who represents you in Washington? Jeff Landry, or YOU?” Fleming asked.
Also in the heated race is incumbent Bill Cassidy, M.D.
Party primary elections in Louisiana are set for May 16, 2026.
