Previous season[]

The Ragin' Cajuns finished the 26–9, –14 in Sun Belt play to finish in as Sun Belt West Divisional Champions.[1] They were invited to the oost-season conference tournament, where they made it to the championship before losing by 10 points to the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders women's basketball. They would go on to be invited to the 2007 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament where they would lose to Marquette by the score of 58–87. This was the only time a Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball team has made it to March Madness. This would also be J. Kelly Hall's last season at the helm of the program, as he was hired by the Cincinnati Bearcats following the season. Hall's tenure was arguably the most successful in Cajuns' history, including two divisional titles, the winningest season in program history, as well as winning seasons in each of his years.[2]
