UALR Rewind: Trojans get straight As in victory over Louisiana-Monroe

Michael Javes

Pondering what time I’m getting back home and what time I have to get up tomorrow while compiling tonight’s BTH UALR Rewind.

BTH Keys

• 1. Know Jack: We said Courtney Jackson needed to score and would be a key tonight. We didn’t see 20 points from the senior. But we’ll take it. Dominating effort by Jackson both inside and outside the paint. And he also went 4 of 4 at the free throw line. Grade: A.
• 2. Shoot it: UALR needed to shoot well and did, finishing at 50 percent for the night. That included 6 of 16 for 38 percent from three-point range. Grade: A.
• 3. Free time: UALR made 12 of 17 free throws to ULM’s 4 of 8. Textbook. Grade: A.
• 4. Solid start: UALR jumped out to a quick 17-4 lead and still led 38-33 at the half. In fact, the Trojans never trailed. Grade: A.
