NAIA basketball in Louisiana

South Alabama plays William Carey tonight and I looked to see if WC was ranked. They are not but I noticed Louisiana has the most teams ranked in the preseason coaches poll.
Have Louisiana NAIA basketball teams always been this good? I remember some good teams from Loyola (Southern States Conference) coming to Mobile from time to time but didn't know the two LSU school's were so good.
#6 LSU Shreveport
#13 LSU Alexandria
#16 Loyola
#20 Xavier
Receiving votes Dillard

LSUS is really damn good this year

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

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

I went to Loyola (worked in the athletics office while a student)... there's a somewhat legendary game where Pistol Pete's kid and a Loyola player just went back & forth all game long
I wish I could remember which Loyola player it was with
ETA: I was a student long after the fact... it's a game that's still talked about decades later

in fact... LSUA's playing at ULL tonight
I'm sure it counts for ULL but is an exhibition for LSUA

LSU-A was actually leading at halftime. Reminder that SFA was 28-3 last season and beat Duke at Cameron.

I know LSUA very well as I worked there for the last few years
this is supposed to be perhaps their weakest team in the program's young history due to a lack of significant JUCO/DI transfers and focusing more on the "home grown" talent
Coach Cordaro's gonna have his toughest coaching job yet
Loyola's already gone to "The Fort" and beaten LSUA (only 2 or 3 other teams have done that over 6 years... LSUA's home record is really quite an impressive stat)... and LSUA had a huge comeback win at home over Mobile
