Five Things to Know

1. Can the Next Streak Stay Alive?
   With the win on Thursday, Little Rock claimed its sixth straight conference opening win. But now another streak lies ahead of the Trojans - Little Rock has won 10 straight games over UT Arlington but the 2019-20 version of the Mavs are probably their best version yet, ranking in the Mid-Major Top 25 poll and already with a win over Kansas State this season.
2. Free Throws, Free Points
   Little Rock opponents seem to like to give the Trojans free opportunities to score. Little Rock enters this game scoring 21.7 percent of its points from the free throw line. While that may not seem like much, it ranks 37th in the nation.
3. Three Points Might be a Long Shot
   Heading into this game, Little Rock has done an admirable job at defending the 3-point shot with Trojan opponents scoring just 19.5 percent of their points from long range. Limiting that number has Little Rock ranked 18th in the nation. Now contrast that with a UTA team that scores just 20.4 percent of their points from long range, a mark that ranks 305th in the country. The Mavs are shooting just 26.8 percent from beyond the arc, ranking 299th in the nation.
4. Collier on Verge of Notable Milestones
   Little Rock senior Kyra Collier is on the verge of two notable milestones as Little Rock resumes action this week. The North Little Rock native needs just 26 points to reach 1,000 career points and four rebounds to hit the 500-rebound plateau.
5. Cool Hand Syd
   If you think Sydney Chastain is making a positive impact on the court, you aren't wrong. The Trojan senior enters this game ranking 17th in the nation with a 2.72 assist-to-turnover ratio, a mark that leads the Sun Belt.
