ALEXANDRIA, La. – The No. 4 Louisiana State University of Alexandria men's basketball team travels to Texas College for a Red River Athletic Conference game on Saturday, January 18.
 
"Texas College is a tough place to play," LSUA Head Coach Dimario Jackson said. "TC has some guys who can score the basketball. They are physical. Our level of focus on every aspect of the game has to be there Saturday. We have to play our brand of basketball. We have to execute defensively and offensively, as well as make free throws. Our guys are ready. We got embarrassed at that gym last season."
