2018-19 Little Rock Men's Basketball Schedule
Little Rock's trip to the Gentry Center in Nashville marks just the second meeting between the two teams as Tennessee State earned a 62-60 victory over the Trojans on December 5, 1992, in Springfield, Missouri, as part of a tournament hosted by Southeast Mississippi State. It will be the Trojans' first trip to Tennessee's capital city since taking on Vanderbilt in 1996.
The Trojans then begin their four-game schedule as part of the Continental Tires Las Vegas Holiday Classic, traveling to Nevada and Tulsa before a pair of home games on Thanksgiving weekend. That leads into the first game of the home-and-home series with rival Central Arkansas, taking place Wednesday, November 28 at the Farris Center in Conway.
A rivalry series that dates back to 1930, the Trojans and Bears have met 35 times with UCA holding a 24-11 edge in the all-time series. Little Rock had won 11-straight games between the two, dating back to the 1981-82 season, until UCA's victory in Conway last season, its first over the Trojans since 1974.
