Plenty to play for on Saturday as UALR travels to Arkansas State

BURN THE HORSE

   While gaining a bye in the Sun Belt Tournament is no longer in play and UALR's seeding is just about established, there is still plenty to play for on Saturday as the Trojans travel to Arkansas State.

Arkansas State vs. UALR
3:05 p.m. Saturday
Jonesboro, Arkansas

   Primarily any gains UALR makes will have to be in the form of denying Arkansas State. The Red Wolves will attempt to finish the season undefeated at home, clinch at least a tie for the West Division Championship (they can win it outright if ULL loses at ULM) and a bye in the Sun Belt Tournament. And the game's televised on Comcast Sports Southeast and Cox Sports Television.
   UALR will be either the fourth or fifth seed in the conference tournament. A UALR victory over Arkansas State and a North Texas loss at home to Denver would lock UALR in as the fourth seed. Any other results would take the battle for fourth to Tuesday night's makeup game between UALR and North Texas at the Stephens Center.
   A UALR victory in either game would clinch an above .500 regular season and at least a .500 season overall.
