UALR comes into this game smoking with 7 wins in their last 8 games. Two of those wins were blowouts against teams we recently lost to.
On paper this game should not be close. But I suspect UALR will come in a little flat after their big win in front of a sizeable crowd for them.
As bad as this year has been, this USI team continues to show fight. They haven’t mailed in and many teams would have.
UALR 79
USI 65

This will be a huge hurdle for us to get over if we want to leave Walmart country with a win. They are playing really well the past 2-3 weeks and they have greater size and skill. We have kept our conference games within reach so far, but this one will be our toughest test yet imo. I hope they overlook us and come out flat…but I doubt it would be enough anyway. I’ll say:
LR. 77
USI. 62

Little Rock shot down: USI 76 ULR 72 Would love it. Little Rock had been playing their best basketball lately. I kind of think that are due for a klinker and could come out very flat against USI. |

I will make it a point to salute you (and the rest of this board) with an extra shot of Jim Beam....I look forward to it!!! |

UALR Projected Starters:
G 6’0 180 KK Robinson (16.5 PPG)
G 6’4 180 Jordan Jefferson (5.4 PPG)
G 6’5 200 Jamir Chaplin (15.6 PPG)
F 6’8 230 Jaylen Crocker-Johnson (8.9 PPG)
F 6’8 220 DeAntoni Gordon (11.8 PPG)
Not a lot has changed since the last time we played them (In terms of scoring/substitutions). But they have gotten better since, especially after beating #1 Morehead State to keep the OVC race somewhat alive. Could UALR have an emotional let down game? We shall see, if we don’t let them get hot, I think we will have a chance.
