All state schools are in action this weekend except for UNO who doesn't play until Thursday. Here's the list of games this weekend.

Saturday Games
LSU (1-3) hosts Alabama (2-1). Will be interesting to see if the Tigers can put up a better effort at home after the disaster earlier this week in College Station.

Louisiana Tech (3-1) stays on the road to play Old Dominion (4-1). This would be a big win for the Bulldogs in conference play should they get the win on the road.

ULL (2-1) hosts Georgia Southern (3-0) in a big conference game for the Cajuns. Georgia Southern is the only undefeated team in Sun Belt play and a Cajuns win would put them in a first place tie.

ULM (0-3) looks to get their first conference win as they host Georgia State (1-2) in Monroe.

Northwestern St (1-3) tries to make it two conference wins in a row as they host Sam Houston St (3-2).

Nicholls (2-2) tries to bounce back from their loss last night as they go to Stephen F. Austin (2-2).

Southern (2-2) hosts Arkansas - Pine Bluff (3-0) and the Jags look to beat one of two undefeated teams in the SWAC.

Grambling (2-2) travels to take on the other undefeated team in SWAC play Texas Southern (3-0).

Sunday Games
Tulane (1-3) tries to win their second consecutive conference game as they host SMU (4-1).

And the other game on Sunday is an in state matchup. McNeese (2-2) travels to Hammond to face Southeastern (3-2).

The Cajuns/Ga. Southern game is interesting and can't wait to see it. As you mentioned Ga. Southern is 3-0 in conference with their three wins coming against Ga. State, Troy and South Al. Ga. State and Troy are one game over .500 overall and South Al. is even at 8-8. They've all beaten one another to get their 1 conference win.

Hopefully the Cajuns keep up the free throw shooting from the last game.
