MONROE, La. – Little Rock will continue its February road schedule Saturday in Monroe as the Trojans will take on a Warhawk program just excited to play.
As Little Rock was claiming a 51-50 win at Louisiana Thursday night, ULM was relegated to watching from the sidelines as court issues caused a postponement of their game against Arkansas State.
With a dry court at Fant-Ewing Coliseum now in place, Little Rock looks to tip-off against the Warhawks at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Five Things to Know
- Controlling the Play
Little Rock opponents are finding it hard to move the ball against the Trojans (this really is no surprise to us here in The Rock). Trojan opponents are averaging just 9.8 assists per game, a mark that ranks 15th in the nation for Little Rock's defense. This is notable considering ULM ranks 340th nationally in assists per game (9.2) and has one of the nation's worst assisted shot rate (44.1%), ranking 343rd.
- Traveling Trojans Find Success
Little Rock enters Saturday's game with a three-game road winning streak. The Trojans are 3-0 on the road in Sun Belt play so far this season.
- Coming Through in the Clutch
The Trojans enter this game with a 3-0 record in close calls, having won a trio of games decided by three points or less. That includes a 68-66 win over Troy on Jan. 20 and a 51-50 win over Louisiana on Feb. 3.
- We Don't Share Well with Others
Little Rock doesn't like to share with others. That is why opponents are finding out it is difficult to get their hands on the ball. Little Rock opponents are averaging just 5.9 steals per game, a mark that ranks Little Rock 24th in the nation. Meanwhile opponents are recording just a 7.3% steal rate, a mark that ranks 22nd in the nation.
- Road Warriors
Home is where the heart is. That must be true for the Trojans over the final month of the season as Little Rock's Team will play nearly anywhere but Little Rock. The Sun Belt Conference has deemed the Trojans to play on the road in all but one game over the months of February and March with only a Feb. 12 date against Arkansas State on the books in conference play.
