UALR opens with last-second victory
Jaizec Lottie dribbled slowly up the court and scanned the play getting set to evolve in front of him.
A game that the University of Arkansas at Little Rock had stayed in for the entire night, but could never quite seem to take control of, now was there for the taking. The Trojans trailed Missouri State, a team picked first in the Missouri Valley Conference preseason coaches poll, by one at 66-65 with the clock ticking under 10 seconds.
As Lottie, a junior guard, moved toward the top of the key, junior forward Ruot Monyyong came out from the baseline and rolled to the right wing. Lottie passed it Monyyong, then with just a few seconds remaining, Monyyong fired up UALR's last hope.
