LAFAYETTE — After shaking off a slow start, the Louisiana-Lafayette men’s basketball team was not able to find a strong finish in a 72-69 loss to Georgia State at the Cajundome.
The Panthers (16-12, 9-10 Sun Belt Conference) surged back in front of the Cajuns (16-12, 11-8) with a late rally, and the Cajuns weren’t able to find the shots when they counted in the closing minutes, losing their fifth game in their last six outings.
With one game remaining in the regular season — Saturday’s senior day matchup against Georgia Southern, which all of a sudden is one game behind the Cajuns for a top-four seed in the conference tournament — coach Bob Marlin knows his team needs to right the ship in a hurry.
