QUINTANAR DEL REY, Spain – The Ragin' Cajuns held Basket Globalcaja to just 20 points in the final three quarters, outscoring them 91-20, en route to an 118-34 victory and their second win of the Spain tour.
Â
Junior transfer J.J. Davenport posted a double-double, scoring 13 points and picking up 13 rebounds, and Shawn Long and Hayward Register led the team offensively, each picking up 18 points. Long just missed a double-double of his own, grabbing eight rebounds.
Â
Globalcaja stayed with the Cajuns to open the game, exchanging baskets for the first five minutes before Louisiana hit the gas and pulled away, going into the locker room leading 56-20.
Â
Davenport was just three points shy of the double-double at the half, already with 11 of his rebounds. He added six more points and three rebounds in the second half for the double-double.
Â
It was all Louisiana in the second half, cruising to an easy victory. The Cajuns went on a very early run in the third quarter, holding Globacaja scoreless for the first seven minutes of the second half.
Â
They would repeat their defensive performance from the second quarter, in the fourth quarter, holding the opponent to just six points in the fourth quarter.
Â
It was a good game for the Cajuns' bench players to get minutes in preparation for the season. They contributed with 68 points and 30 rebounds. Aside from Register's tie for the team-high with 18 points, three other reserves scored double-digit points, Kevin Brown had 14 points, Braylon Lazare had 12 and Aaron LaBlanc had 10.

The win improved the Cajuns to 2-0 on their tour of Spain, with two more games to go when they get to Madrid. They have one game on Thursday and one game on Saturday, before returning to the U.S. on Sunday evening.
