ALEXANDRIA, LA. (Feb. 15, 2020) – The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) men's basketball team lost 120-83 against No. 8-ranked LSU-Alexandria (LSUA) today. The Saints drop to 8-17 overall and 4-11 in the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC). The Generals move to 23-4 overall and 15-0 in conference.
Head Coach Chris Dial said, "There was a small margin of error for us on this road trip and we didn't play with enough intensity to overcome that today. We fought and competed with more energy in the second half, but it was tough against the No. 8-ranked team in the country. Our job now is to do everything we can to protect our home court in these next three games."
