NEW ORLEANS, La. – Coming off of back-to-back trips to the NCAA Super Regionals and two straight Sun Belt Conference Tournament championships, the sixth ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns baseball team was tabbed to take the league title in the 2016 Sun Belt Coaches Preseason Poll, the conference office announced on Tuesday.
This is the third consecutive season that the Cajuns are the favorite to win the league crown entering the season. Last season, Louisiana went 42-23 finishing third in the league, but went on to win the Sun Belt tournament title and claim the NCAA Houston Regional championship before falling in the Super Regionals to LSU.
