UALR's Dillard poised to make leap during sophomore season

BURN THE HORSE

Ben Dillard had a nice debut as a freshman for UALR.

Dillard played in all 31 games, averaging more than 14 minutes per game. He shot 40 percent from the field, 43 percent from three-point range and 85 percent from the free-throw line. 

But Dillard only averaged 4.7 points per game.

With increased minutes and responsibility this season will come bigger expectations for Dillard as a sophomore. We saw plenty to like of him as a freshman and it appears he’s poised to make that move in his second season with the Trojans.
