Jordan Jefferson scored a team-high 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the floor Thursday night, including 3-of-6 shooting from the three-point line, but it wasn't enough as UALR (1-3) fell to East Tennessee State (3-1) at Freedom Hall in Johnson City, Tenn.
A jumper from Ethan Speaker gave the Trojans an 18-8 lead with 13:46 left in the first half, but the Buccaneers went on a 14-0 run over the next 2:42 -- capped by a three-pointer from Jordan King -- to take a 22-18 lead with 11:03 remaining.
