 Five Things to Know

1. Quite the Introduction
   Jaiyah Smith made quite the introduction to Trojan fans in the season opener on Nov. 10 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff as the guard erupted for 11 rebounds, six assists and seven points in Little Rock's 60-56 win over the Golden Lions. Her 11 rebounds ranks 40th in the nation early on this year while her six assists ranks 45th nationally. A transfer from Ole Miss, Smith will face her
2. Natural Success
   With the 60-56 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Nov. 10, Little Rock continued its home domination over in-state foes at the Jack Stephens Center. Since the building opened in 2005, the Trojans have only suffered one loss at home against an in-state opponent at the Jack.
3. Charge It
   Little Rock's defense is not a cash-operating group. The Trojans drew five charges in the season-opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Nov. 10. That's the most in a single game in recent memory. Last year, the Trojans drew four charges at South Alabama in a 74-52 win in Mobile.
4. Joe Foley Court
   In a pregame ceremony set for Sunday, the court at the Jack Stephens Center will be named for Little Rock Head Women's Basketball Coach Joe Foley. Foley will be just the sixth women's basketball coach to have a court named in their honor, joining Tennessee's Pat Summitt, Texas A&M's Gary Blair, NC State's Kay Yow, DePaul's Doug Bruno and Rutgers' C. Vivian Stringer. Foley was going to be the fourth, but DePaul and Rutgers placed names on their respective courts over the summer, after the Foley Court announcement was made.
5. Sunday is His Day
   Not only honored by the University and Athletic Department, Joe Foley will be honored by the City of Little Rock on Sunday. The Mayor, Frank Scott, has declared Sunday, Nov. 13 to be "Coach Joe Foley Day" in the Capital City.
