Reserves unable to keep pace in UALR loss to Missouri State
BURN THE HORSE
It was pretty easy to see where the game changed in Saturday’s loss to Missouri State. Freshman post player Michael Javes was unable to do much with Missouri State’s Caleb Patterson. Javes entered the game in a 16-16 tie in the first half. By the time he exited, UALR was down 28-22 and never recovered.
Most plus/minus ratings weren’t awful on Saturday. The starting lineup averaged a -2.

- Taggart Lockhart: 41-41 (even)
- Will Neighbour: 52-56 (-4)
- D’Andre Williams: 54-58 (-4)
- Courtney Jackson: 44-48 (-4)
