UALR practice pushed back to 5:50 p.m. in Dayton today

BURN THE HORSE

   The entire First Four schedule has been pushed back five hours today, likely to accommodate last-minute travel plans for the involved teams.

UNC-Asheville vs. UALR

   UALR didn't depart Little Rock until mid-morning and touched down in Dayton, Ohio, early this afternoon. That all came less than 24 hours after they found out where they were headed and who they were playing against.
   The day's schedule now looks something like this:

• 5:05 p.m. (4:05 Central) - UALR players will meet with the media
• 5:25 p.m. (4:25 Central) - UALR Coach Steve Shields will meet with the media
• 5:50 p.m. (4:50 Central) - UALR will have its mandatory public practice at the arena. The Trojans will be given 40 minutes of practice time.

   UALR could also opt to practice at Wright State, where they played last season, or at a local high school if they choose to.
   Tomorrow's schedule will also be a bit unusual. Typically, teams get about an hour for shoot-around. Teams at the First Four are given 20 minutes.This practice is closed to everyone except essential arena personnel and CBS/Turner TV representatives.
   We think UALR will be listed as the home team and will wear white. But as of a few minutes ago, they still weren't sure.
