The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball team has locked up their first transfer portal recruit of the offseason as former Sacramento State forward Duncan Powell is heading to Lafayette.
The former LSU coach is now leading the McNeese State University Cowboys, who are headed to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, having drawn the No. 12-seed slot.
The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns played the McNeese State Cowboys in Lake Charles on Wednesday, March 3, 2021. The final score of the game was 4-3, with McNeese State edging out the Cajuns in a game that could have gone either way right up to the end.
When the LSU Tiger 2021 Football schedule was released, a couple of in-state games caught the eyes of Louisiana college football fans. But, the matchup between LSU and McNeese State comes with a very rare Father-Son face-off between LSU Head Coach, Ed Orgeron, and his son, Cody Orgeron, the McNeese State Quarterback.
McNeese has announced that they will honor the late Tony Robichaux before the game by officially naming the bullpen after their former player and coach.
