LAFAYETTE (KLFY) – The Louisiana men’s basketball team is going dancing in Orlando, Florida after winning the Sun Belt Conference championship.  The Ragin’ Cajuns, a 13-seed, will face fourth-seeded Tennessee at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida with tip-off scheduled for 8:40 p.m. CT on Thursday, March 16 on KLFY. 

The Cajuns are the highest seeded SBC team to make the tournament since Arkansas-Little Rock earned a 12-seed in 2016.  It’s the seventh appearance in the tournament for the Ragin’ Cajuns and the third time they have been seeded 13th.  It will be the third all-time match-up in the NCAA Championships between Louisiana and Tennessee, with the Volunteers coming away victorious in 1982 and 2000.
