BURN THE HORSE
We heard a lot in the offseason
about the improvement of sophomore guard Taggart Lockhart. It’s been on full
display during UALR’s three-game winning streak.Lockhart |
Lockhart turned in the best BTH
Plus/Minus rating in Saturday’s 69-56 victory over SMU in the semifinals of the
Hoops for Hope Classic in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. With Lockhart on the court,
UALR outscored SMU 55-38. With Lockhart on the bench, UALR was outscored 18-14.
That makes Lockhart a team-best +17
on Saturday.
The rest of the top five included:
- John Gillon +14 (43-29)
- Leroy Isler +11 (46-35)
- Will Neighbour +10 (53-43)
- James White +9 (54-45)
Isler was able to take the season
lead by percentage points over Neighbour in Plus/Minus per minute. Neighbour
still leads in Plus/Minus Per game and season. Isler is a team best +13 in the
past five games.
