Red Wolves run away in head-scratcher

Darrell Walker looked down toward his sneakers, sulked and began physically scratching his head.

It was a live-in-action version of a "head-scratching moment," a cliche the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's men's coach used publicly last week to describe his team's bad turnover habit.

That head was scratched plenty Saturday in Arkansas State University's 84-83 victory at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock.

Round 1 this season of Arkansas' only in-state, in-conference rivalry was puzzling.

Saturday's game was defined by UALR and ASU trading massive runs -- including a 42-11 run by Arkansas State and a 35-14, game-tying run by the Trojans late in the second half.
