Fast start sparks Trojans' victory

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock men's basketball team earned its first Sun Belt Conference victory, 71-62, on Sunday over Louisiana-Monroe at the Jack Stephens Center.

The game unfolded nearly the opposite from the Trojans' 77-63 loss to Louisiana-Lafayette on Friday night, which provided UALR some resolution before the start of the new year.

UALR (4-11, 1-1 Sun Belt) began Friday's game trailing 18-2 after missing its first five shots. Sunday, the Trojans made its first 4 shots (3 three-pointers) to lead Louisiana-Monroe 11-7.

"All types of energy just rubs off," said UALR junior guard Camron Reedus, who had a team-high 13 points.
