LITTLE ROCK - Little Rock Athletics has released the first episode of The Turnaround, a three-part mini-documentary chronicling the Trojans' dramatic improvement in the 2019-20 season. The three part series was filmed, edited and produced by the Little Rock Athletic Communications department, involving interviews with student-athletes, coaches and support personnel.
The Turnaround - Episode One: New Beginnings
Picked 11th in the preseason Sun Belt Conference poll, Little Rock had one of the best improvements in all of Division I basketball, upping its win total from 10 to 21 and clinching the regular season conference title. The first episode, entitled New Beginnings, looks back at the 2018-19 season, one that set the groundwork for the success of that 2019-20 team. Head coach
Darrell Walker's first season was characterized by a handful of close losses, but important experiences and invaluable minutes for a young Trojan team.
Episodes two and three will focus on key moments of the 2019-20 season, capped by Little Rock's regular season conference title, followed by the disappointment of having its NCAA title hopes dashed in an instant with the cancellation of the postseason due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Those two episodes will be released in the coming days as the Trojans get set to begin their #UnfinishedBusiness with the start of the 2020-21 season.
