AND ONES This game was originally slated for Dec. 27
but the schools agreed to move it before Christmas break. … UALR snapped a
three-game losing streak to South Alabama with a Sun Belt Tournament victory in
2011. It was the start of four wins in four nights as the Trojans advanced to
the NCAA Tournament. UALR has won the past two meetings with South Alabama by
an average margin of 19.5 points. …. USA’s Augustine Rubit is the current Sun
Belt Conference player of the week. He had 23 points and 19 rebounds last
Saturday against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. … Jeff Price is in his first
game as USA’s coach. He replaced Ronnie Arrow after he “retired” on Wednesday.
