LAFAYETTE — Before the 2015-16 Louisiana-Lafayette men’s basketball team ever stepped foot in Georgia, it was an underachieving squad to most outside observers, one sure it was destined for big things but in need of proof to back that confidence up.
Those pre-Georgia Ragin’ Cajuns were three games under .500. That team was populated by shooters who were struggling to make shots. But the opponents never seemed to have a problem knocking down shots, contested or not.
The Cajuns needed a spark. They went to Georgia and found it in Statesboro, then loudly announced it with a dominant victory in Atlanta.
