A drive just in time
UALR forward Maurius Hill (back) scrambles for a loose ball with ASU guard Devin Carter during their game Saturday at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock. ASU rallied from a 43-31 halftime deficit to escape with a 77-72 victory.UALR went inside to build a lead. Arkansas State chipped back by shooting from the outside, and the game was evened on the free-throw line.
But it wasn't until Deven Simms shot-faked and found an inch of room underneath for a basket off an inbound play that ASU was able to close out a 77-72 come-from-behind victory in front of a season-high crowd of 5,191 on Saturday night at the Jack Stephens Center.
