Feature: The Square Ruot of Success

By Dan Froelich | Special to LRTrojans.com

In mathematics, the square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, is the number. For example, four times four equals 16, making the square root of 16 four.

In Little Rock's Jack Stephens Center, the square Ruot is a near double-double, courtesy of first-year junior center Ruot Monyyong.

Monyyong, who is the son of an Ethiopian mother and a South Sudanese father, did not have a direct path to Little Rock head coach Darrell Walker's team.
