Louisiana basketball postpones game due to 'insufficient number' of players

Much has been made of LSU's struggles to cobble together a full college basketball team in Will Wade's first year. But another team in Louisiana is having some issues of its own.

REQUIRED READING: UCLA sets program record with 106-37 rout of Arkansas-Pine Bluff In short, there weren't enough players eligible to play. In Louisiana's statement, it added "the schools will work on rescheduling the game at a later date." USA TODAY Sports has reached out to the school for more information. White's first season was marked by struggle in Lafayette, with ULL going 11-22 (7-11 Sun Belt) in 2025. Louisiana played with nine eligible players on Nov. 9 against New Orleans, winning 56-39 after season-opening losses to Akron and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Louisiana will now try to shore up its roster and continue its season. Based on the statement, this is not a forfeit for the Ragin' Cajuns.
