LAFAYETTE — When Kia Wilridge thinks about Little Rock and Jonesboro, Arkansas, the memory of those towns and arenas comes out in one elongated word.
“It’s a long game,” Wilridge said with a short laugh at the end. Emphasis was on the word long.
For the Louisiana-Lafayette women’s basketball team, trips to face Arkansas-Little Rock at 5:15 p.m. Thursday and Arkansas State at 3:05 p.m. Saturday will provide an opportunity to build upon a 2-0 start in Sun Belt play.
Seniors such as Wilridge and forward Adrienne Prejean have become familiar with the road stops in conference during the past few years.
