Moments after the final buzzer sounded in the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's 72-68 victory over Texas State on Thursday night, an ecstatic Darrell Walker hardly could contain himself.
The second-year UALR men's coach rushed to the sideline table at half court, grabbed the public-address microphone and took it upon himself to make a plea to the announced Jack Stephens Center crowd of 1,082.
"Thank y'all for coming out. We need y'all's support," Walker shouted. "Come back and see us."
Trojan fans won't have to wait long to see this product again, one that continues to make strides from last season's 10-21 misery.
