Thursday’s game against Oral Roberts is the second of four home games at venerable Blackham Coliseum this season for Louisiana-Lafayette — the university’s former home facility from Feb. 6, 1950 through the end of the1984-85 season in which the program posted a 336-95 record.
Blackham Coliseum was home to many Ragin’ Cajuns’ legends — Dwight "Bo" Lamar (1969-73), Andrew Toney (1976-80), Marvin Winkler (1966-70), Jerry Flake (1965-69), Graylin Warner (1980-84), Roy Ebron (1970-73), Dean Church (1961-65) and Alonza Allen (1980-84) to name a few greats to grace the court of Blackham.
Blackham Coliseum provided a huge homecourt advantage for the Ragin’ Cajuns’ teams it housed from 1950-85.
