Xavier and Louisiana College (currently in the NCAA D3 & American Southwest Conference but jumping back to NAIA) are joining LSUA & LSUS conference (Red River Athletic Conference) next season

Xavier's currently in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference with the likes of Dillard... but that conference is dying a slow & painful death

the GCAC used to have all of Loyola, William Carey, Dillard, SUNO, Xavier, & LSUS

LSUA has only had a team for like 6 seasons... qualified for the NAIA National Tournament all 6 years... made 2 "Fab Fours" (semifinals) and 1 championship game appearance (lost on a buzzer beater in OT)

ETA: considering LSUA & Louisiana College are only like 5 miles away from each other as the crow flies... when LC joins the RRAC... that rivalry is going to be fun

yea I went to lots of games back in the day.

William Carey used to have Pistol Pete's kid playing for them.

LSUS and Mobile used to have a pretty heated albeit short rivalry

in the 2018 national tournament... LSUS was in the semifinal while LSUA made the finals

Shreveport screwed us out of an all-Louisiana championship game
