Mouzy, Leeper's amazing three minutes, top plus/minus for UALR

   Matt Mouzy's rise up the plus/minus per minute list continued last night with a team best +13 as UALR held off Louisiana-Lafayette at the Jack Stephens Center. UALR outscored Louisiana-Lafayette 48-35 with Mouzy on the court.

Courtney Jackson in the post. Mouzy
was a +13 in Saturday's game.

   Mouzy, who was the team plus/minus leader as a sophomore, struggled early in the season. He's been on the plus side in five of the past seven games to climb out of a season minus and into a nice plus. Mouzy is +34 in his past five games.
   But the plus/minus performance of last night has to go to Gus Leeper. Leeper played just three minutes and his only official statistic was one personal foul. But UALR won those three minutes by 11 points as it rallied to take a late first-half lead. Leeper entered the game with UALR down 34-31 and exited with UALR leading 43-35. That makes for a very nice +11 rating for the night.
   The rest of last night's top five were: Tramar Sutherland +6, Chuck Guy +3 and Montrell Thornton +3.
   For the season, Guy remains the team best at +53. Solomon Bozeman is second at +39.
   In the past five games, Mouzy's +34 leads the way. He is followed by Guy +25, Derrick Bails +19, D'Andre Williams +11 and Leeper +10.

   The UALR women's victory against Louisiana-Lafayette featured very few substitutions. Janette Merriex was tops at +14, followed by Chastity Reed +12, Shanika Butler +11, Asriel Rolfe +11 and Marian Kursh +10.
   For the season, Butler and Rolfe lead at +112, followed by Reed +87 and Merriex +85.
   Kursh is the best in the past five games at +62, followed by Rolfe +61, Reed +52, Merriex +45 and Butler +44.
