Little Rock wins Sun Belt title
NEW ORLEANS (AP) Little Rock's record-breaking season will include an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The Trojans made sure of that after a tongue-lashing from coach Chris Beard at halftime of the Sun Belt Tournament championship game.
Roger Woods scored 19 points and the Trojans (29-4) punched their ticket with a dominant second half, beating UL Monroe 70-50 on Sunday. Along the way, they extended their school mark for victories in a season and tied a Sun Belt conference record.
Trailing 33-28 at halftime, the Trojans raised their defensive intensity several notches and went on an 18-4 run to take control.
