20 days to go

BURN THE HORSE
The countdown clock has reached 20 days to go.
Another big week on tap this week.
Tuesday
Sun Belt Conference men's basketball media days. We'll hear from UALR Coach Steve Shields first. We'll find out the preseason coaches polls (not likely to be good news) and the preseason all-conference teams (also not likely to be good news). But news is news.
Wednesday
Sun Belt Conference men's basketball media days continue.
Thursday
Meet the Trojans Open practice with a new format at the Jack Stephens Center.
Saturday or Sunday
UALR men will play their first closed scrimmage of the year. While that won't generate much, if any, news. It will give the coaches a great progress report of where things stand.
