BURN THE HORSE
The key point in last night’s victory came during the
opening minutes of the second half. James White, playing the 3, picked up two
fouls in four seconds as Milwaukee tied the game 25-25.

Taggart Lockhart replaced White and picked up his third foul
17 seconds later.
Next up at the 3 was freshman Stetson Billings, who had
played sparingly in UALR’s first three games. Billings played the next 6:45 at
the 3 position, keeping UALR in the game. When he exited, UALR led 34-32 with
12:13 left.
That bridge until they could get White and Lockhart back on
the court was as important as anything last night.
Billings didn’t score last night (he missed two open layups).
In fact he’s still scoreless on the season. But he’s starting to come along and
is going to be counted on for depth throughout the year.
