Tuesday evening’s Red River Rivalry basketball doubleheader between LSUA and Louisiana Christian flipped the script from the first meetings of the teams last month but ultimately, the outcomes were the same.

LSUA’s teams won both games, although the women’s matchup was much closer than expected. The Lady Generals crossed the 20-win milepost with an 82-75 victory over LCU, a far cry from the 24-point blowout in the Jan. 22 game.

After a hotly-contested seven-point men’s game the first time around, LSUA posted a commanding 95-70 win in the rematch.

One thing that didn’t change from last month: the game site. LSUA played on its homecourt north of Lecompte, because LCU’s H.O. West Fieldhouse was unable to stage the games. One of the baskets there was broken in the Wildcats’ most recent homecourt appearance on a forceful dunk by a Xavier player.

In Tuesday’s women’s game, LSUA improved to 20-5 overall and 17-3 in the Red River Athletic Conference as Dannah Martin-Hadwick scored 21, Jewel Jones drained 5 of 10 3-pointers in a 17-point performance, and Amani Gray added 13 points while Raegen Ojoro contributed 10 points and 8 rebounds.

Along with the surprising competitiveness of the game, the big story was LCU’s Princis Goff. Named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s state women’s college basketball Player of the Week earlier Tuesday, she led an inspired Lady Wildcats’ effort with 15 points and added six rebounds. The losers dipped to 10-14 overall, 7-13 in the RRAC.

Goff, a sophomore from nearby Atlanta in Winn Parish, averaged 15 points and 4.5 steals in two games last week. Her LSWA honor was the first for the Lady Wildcats in three years.

LSUA rolled in the men’s game, despite LCU (5-20, 3-16) getting a hot-shooting (7-10 field goals, 4-5 on 3-pointers) from Jon’Quarius McGhee. The Generals had more depth and 29-point scorer JD Allen, who drained 6 of 11 from behind the 3-point arc. Kashie Natt went for 16 points and 10 rebounds. Jason Perry II scored 15 and Jordain Dishmel had 10 as the Generals improved to 19-6 overall, 17-3 in the RRAC.
