SHREVEPORT, LA. (Feb. 9, 2019) – The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) men's basketball team struggled to compete against LSU-Shreveport (LSUS). The loss moves the Saints to 6-17 overall and 4-11 in the Red River Athletic Conference. The Pilots improve to 18-9 overall and 11-4 in conference.
Head Coach Chris Dial commented, "It was a rough roadtrip for the Saints. We got away from some of the things we were doing well. We struggled to rebound and defense, and we missed a lot of shots we were making a couple of weeks ago. We are looking forward to getting back to San Antonio and playing on our home court."
