Arkansas Democrat-Gazette / Thomas Metthe)
Building an impressive nonconference record has never been the goal for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock women's basketball team under Joe Foley.
This season's coronavirus-shortened lead up to Sun Belt Conference play is no different.
Foley's Trojans (2-2) need to win two of their next three games to enter conference play with a winning record, something UALR has done once since its landmark 69-60 NCAA Tournament victory over Texas A&M in 2015.
Western Kentucky, today's opponent in a 2 p.m. tipoff at the Jack Stephens Center, is a Conference USA team that used to be one of the Trojans' biggest rivals in the Sun Belt before leaving after the 2015 season.
