Trojans hold off Hurricane rally

Before UALR tipped off against Tulsa, they hung banners at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock.

They also let the Golden Hurricane hang around.

UALR (6-2) jumped out to a 14-point halftime lead, watched Tulsa cut that to four in the second half and then hung on for a 72-62 victory in front of an announced crowd of 3,769 Saturday.

UALR hung banners for their 2015-2016 Sun Belt conference championship, school-record 30 victories and their opening-round NCAA Tournament victory over Purdue.

None of that meant much to Tulsa.

The Hurricane jumped out to a 27-18 lead in the first half, on the strength of hitting eight of their first 11 shots.
