The UALR men's basketball team has used the same formula for most of its victories this season -- a defense that holds opponents below their scoring averages and efficient offense sparked by a handful of three-pointers.
The Trojans followed the script to build a big first-half lead Thursday night at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock. When Texas-Arlington pushed back in the second half, the Trojans didn't change a thing.
Marcus Johnson Jr. and Kemy Osse hit consecutive three-pointers to halt a Texas-Arlington run to start the second half, and UALR pulled away for a 72-60 victory in front of the first sellout crowd at the Jack Stephens Center since Nov.
