• After two grueling games on the road, Louisiana Tech returns home to the Thomas Assembly Center to face ULM on Monday night at 6 p.m. on Karl Malone Court. The Bulldogs are set to play four games over a span of six days. • The first ever meeting between LA Tech and ULM took place nearly 70 years ago in 1954 when the Warhawks joined the Gulf State Conference. The two programs, separated by only 35 miles, played every season at least twice all the way up until 1991. Since then, they have faced off nine times including the last two seasons.
• LA Tech led for the majority of the game against UL-Lafayette, but the Ragin’ Cajuns went on a 19-3 run late in the second half to grab the lead which they held onto in a DECEMBER final score of 94-88. With both teams shooting over 50 percent, the difference ended up 2 SOUTHERN ESPN+ 6 p.m. being free throws as the Bulldogs went 13-of-14 while the Cajuns were 22-of-32 from 10 at Wyoming MWN 8 p.m. the foul line.

A LOUISIANA TECH WIN WOULD...
• Would be LA Tech’s 10th straight win over ULM. The nine straight victories by the
MARCH Bulldogs over the Warhawks is the second longest active winning streak over any op2 FIU* ESPN+ 6 p.m. ponent (LA Tech has won 12 straight versus Jackson State). 4 FLORIDA ATLANTIC* ESPN+ 2 p.m. 8 C-USA Tournament$ TBA All home games CAPS | All times CST and subject to change * C-USA game ^ Samford MTE $ Frisco, Texas (The Star)
@LATECHHOOPS
• Would be LA Tech’s 30th consecutive home win against a non-conference opponent, a streak that dates back to the 2018-19 season. It would tie for the longest such streak in the Thomas Assembly Center. • Would be LA Tech’s 17th victory over ULM inside the Thomas Assembly Center. The Bulldogs are a perfect 16-0 versus the Warhawks in the TAC.
