Three Things to Know

1. The Trojan Wall is Up
   Little Rock's net defense is as stoic as any and the OVC might want to take notice. Entering this week's action, the Trojans are 68th in the nation averaging 2.36 blocks per set and 49th in the country with 172.5 total blocks on the year. Both marks lead the OVC.
2. The Trojan Wall is Up – Part II
   That stifling defense is led by Zanobia Willis, who enters this week ranked 46th nationally and second in the OVC with an average of 1.24 blocks per set. Overall, she has 82 total blocks on the year which leads the OVC and ranks 29th in the country. Meanwhile Daedrianna Cail ranks fourth in the OVC and 173rd nationally with an average of 1.03 blocks per set while her 72 total blocks ranks 84th nationally and fourth in the league.
3. It's Not Just the Defense at the Net, It's the Offense Too
   Don't think that Willis and Cail are just there to block the shots. The Trojan tandem are both ranked in the top 10 in the conference in hitting percentage. Cail enters the weekend ranked seventh in the OVC with a .278 hitting percentage while Willis ranks eighth, hitting .270.
