Louisiana Tech sits at 9-5 overall as the calendar is set to flip to January on Monday and Conference USA play will start up on Saturday.

Every Sunday during the 2023-2024 season we are going to take a look at the statistical leaders for the 'Dogs, key performances over the last week, and some team statistics to give a good idea of where things stand on a national scale.

Isaiah Crawford continues to pace Louisiana Tech on the offensive end of the floor. Crawford collected the first double-double of his career with 18 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks against Seattle on December 20th.

Daniel Batcho is playing the best basketball of his career. In Tech's recent three-game road trip, Batcho averaged 19.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game.

Tahlik Chavez is shooting 48% from three-point range over his last 9 games for the Dunkin' Dogs.

Sean Newman has dished out 26 asissts to only 4 turnovers since returning from injury on December 12th.

Tech put together its most efficient offensive game of the season at Grand Canyon on Saturday. The Bulldogs shot 56% from the field and 43% from 3 against a GCU team that ranked 82nd in defensive efficiency entering the game.

In road games against St. Louis, Seattle, and Grand Canyon, opponents shot 30/62 (48%) from 3-point range. The Bulldogs will have to get that cleaned up before conference play starts.
