KNOW YOUR OPPONENT | LOUISIANA
• Louisiana and UT Arlington last met in the quarterfinals of the 2018 Sun Belt Conference Women's Basketball Championships, with Louisiana coming away with a 54-48 win. This will be the first and only meeting between the two schools during the regular season, as Louisiana will not make the trip to Arlington this season.

• Louisiana leads the all-time series, 14-9, and the Ragin' Cajuns are 7-3 all-time in games played in Lafayette. The lack of games between the two programs can be attributed to a gap from 1987 to 2014 where the two teams did not meet on the hardwood, with the series restarting when UT Arlington joined the Sun Belt.

• Brandi Williams and Ty'Reona Cournoyer have been scoring machines over the first month of conference play, each averaging double-figures in Sun Belt play. With Williams averaging 14.1ppg., and Cournoyer averaging 12.0ppg., making them the top two scoring freshmen in Sun Belt Conference play.
