MONROE, La. -- Justin Roberson took a transition pass from DeMondre Harvey and finished a fast break with a two-handed dunk.
It turned out to be the last play the Warhawks needed to seal an 86-82 victory over UALR at Fant-Ewing Coliseum on Thursday night. The loss ended the Trojans' hopes of earning a Division I-best 10th road victory.
UALR Coach Chris Beard warned his team during practice this week about Roberson, whose dunk pushed the Warhawks' lead to 77-71 with 1:25 left. He was averaging 13.3 points before Thursday's game.
"It's what good players do," Beard said of Roberson, who scored 18 of his 23 points in the second half.
