LAFAYETTE — It was a familiar foe for Louisiana head coach Quannas White, as the Ragin’ Cajuns hosted Tulane — a program where White once served as an assistant from 2014 to 2016 — on Tuesday night.

Pepperdine transfer Jaxon Olvera provided an early spark for UL, scoring five quick points off a steal and fast-break finish. Olvera finished with a team-high 19 points, tying Tulane guard Rowan Brumbaugh, who matched him on the other end with 19 of his own, including a 3-pointer and foul in the opening half.

Tulane led 12-5 early, but the Cajuns found rhythm late in the first half. De’vion Lavergne (11 points) hit a mid-range jumper and later assisted Mike Collins on a three-pointer to give Louisiana a 30-29 halftime lead.
