BURN THE HORSE
 |
| WKU vs. UALR 8:30 p.m. Sunday Summit Arena, Hot Springs |
This is the second meeting of the season between UALR and WKU. WKU won the first game 65-53 in Bowling Green, Ky. It was a game in which UALR looked to be on its way to victory before falling apart in the final five minutes.
The rematch brings this statistic back into play. In UALR Coach Steve Shields' nine seasons at UALR, his Trojans have lost 11 times by 10 or more points in the first meeting of the season and got a rematch. They've won 10 of the 11 rematch games.
That includes losing 68-49 to Louisiana-Lafayette before beating ULL 72-70 in the rematch this season. It also happened in last year's Sun Belt Tournament. UALR lost 92-79 to South Alabama in the regular season before beating the Jaguars 82-68 in the tournament.
