The University of Central Arkansas has a few days to savor this one.
UCA took down the University of Arkansas at Little Rock 78-65 Wednesday night inside the Farris Center in Conway. It was the Bears' second victory against their central Arkansas neighbor of 34 miles since 1973-74 and UCA's second consecutive victory over the Trojans.
The Bears (50.9 percent) shot better than the Trojans (40.9). They had more assists (17) than UALR's 14. UCA made half of its 20 three-pointers, while the Trojans went 7-for-25 from behind the arc and missed 17 free throws.
Wednesday's victory was much-needed for a UCA (3-4) program striving to get away from routinely being penciled in as an easy win for NCAA Division I opponents.
