Louisiana Tech’s Lady Techsters are gearing up for a fresh start in the Sun Belt Conference, bringing the momentum of a recent Conference USA title into a schedule that blends regional rivalries with tough non‑conference tests.
The team will call the Thomas Assembly Center its home court for 15 games, a venue that has witnessed some of the program’s most memorable moments, while the upcoming slate promises both familiar foes and new challenges.
The season opener arrives on November 2 at Toledo, followed by a home clash with Texas A&M‑Texarkana on November 5, setting the tone for a campaign that will see the Lady Techsters travel across the country before returning to Ruston.
A highlight of the non‑conference portion is the return to SEC powerhouses, with visits to Ole Miss, Georgia and Arkansas on the horizon, alongside a historic showdown against ULL after a five‑year hiatus.
Sun Belt Conference play begins
Sun Belt Conference play begins on New Year’s Eve when Coastal Carolina rolls into Ruston, and the schedule will continue with home dates against Old Dominion, Georgia Southern, South Alabama, Southern Miss and Troy, while road trips take the team to Marshall, James Madison, Arkansas State and Troy.
A long‑standing rivalry with ULM resurfaces on February 3, a game that will be followed by a trip to Monroe just weeks later, a matchup that renews a competition decided in 60 prior meetings with Louisiana Tech holding a dominant 49‑11 record.
The regular season will close on February 26 at Arkansas State, after which the Lady Techsters will head to Pensacola, Florida, to compete in the Sun Belt Women’s Basketball Championship in early March, aiming to add another trophy to the program’s growing legacy.
