MONROE, La. – Trailing by as many as 14 in the second half, and by 10 with just under 10 minutes remaining, Little Rock once again staged a rally to pull even with ULM with just over six minutes to go. But the Trojans couldn't make the shots they needed down the stretch as the Warhawks pulled away to hand Little Rock an 80-72 loss at Fant Ewing Coliseum.
The loss came despite strong performances from both Nikola Maric and Isaiah Palermo, who paced the Trojans offensively and combined to score 43 of Little Rock's 72 points.
