| 70 75 |
Notes:
- UALR Coach Steve Shields with his 134th victory with the Trojans. That's one more than Mike Newell for UALR's all-time lead.
- Chuck Guy leads the Trojans with 21 points. He made 6 of 13 field goals and 7 of 9 free throws. That's a career high.
- Courtney Jackson had 12 points, making 6 of 9 field goals.
- Will Neighbour had 9 points, making 4 of 6 field goals. They've got to find a way to get him some more shots.
- Michael Javes with 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks. And he stayed out of foul trouble. His best effort of the season.
- And D'Andre Williams with 5 points, 4 rebounds and a team-high 7 rebounds.
- Trojans outrebound IUPUI by 7 points.
Good all-around effort for the Trojans. Definite improvement game-to-game-to-game so far.
