Coming off a 20-point road victory Thursday night at Louisiana-Monroe, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock women's basketball team had less than a 48-hour turnaround before Saturday's meeting against Appalachian State.
The visiting Mountaineers, contrarily, entered on a full week of rest. This happens during the conference season.
A well-prepared Appalachian State team did everything it could to make life uncomfortable for the Trojans on Saturday afternoon, but UALR surged in the third quarter and put the game away at the free-throw line late for a 68-63 victory at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock.
