UALR Gamenight Blog: UALR defeats IUPUI 75-70

70         75
Notes:
  • UALR Coach Steve Shields with his 134th victory with the Trojans. That's one more than Mike Newell for UALR's all-time lead.
  • Chuck Guy leads the Trojans with 21 points. He made 6 of 13 field goals and 7 of 9 free throws. That's a career high.
  • Courtney Jackson had 12 points, making 6 of 9 field goals.
  • Will Neighbour had 9 points, making 4 of 6 field goals. They've got to find a way to get him some more shots.
  • Michael Javes with 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks. And he stayed out of foul trouble. His best effort of the season.
  • And D'Andre Williams with 5 points, 4 rebounds and a team-high 7 rebounds.
  • Trojans outrebound IUPUI by 7 points.
Good all-around effort for the Trojans. Definite improvement game-to-game-to-game so far.
