LAFAYETTE – Fully illustrating the control Louisiana-Lafayette had in a 80-54 win against Texas State was the fact that the Bobcats had only one more rebound as a team (15) than Shawn Long had individually (14) when the Cajuns big man checked out with 3:39 to go.
From a knockdown 3-pointer by Jay Wright to start to the first career points from Elijah McGuire to finish, the Cajuns (10-8, 6-3) took it to the visitors from Texas State (9-8, 3-5). They stayed undefeated at home, where they still have two games of a five-game home stand remaining, and pushed their winning streak to five games.
