NEW ORLEANS -- Ronjanae DeGray walked toward the edge of the floor at Lakefront Arena, hoisted a T-shirt reading "Sun Belt Basketball Champions" high in the air and lifted her finger to indicate the Trojans were No. 1.
It's not the first time.
UALR repeated as conference tournament champions Saturday with a 57-56 victory against No. 7 seed South Alabama.
The victory earns the Trojans an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, which will be their fifth appearance since 2011. The Trojans (21-10) will find out who their NCAA Tournament opponent is and where the game is located during the tournament selection show at 6 p.
