The UALR men's basketball team spent 37 minutes Tuesday in position to close its nonconference schedule without a defeat for the first time.
But an almost two-minute stretch of poor offensive execution came at a crucial time, and Texas Tech took control and handed UALR its first loss, 65-53, at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas.
The Trojans, who led for 1 minute, 23 seconds but were also within striking distance most to the game, trailed 54-50 on a Roger Woods layup with 3:31 left. But that was their last basket until the final minute, as they missed four consecutive shots over a span of 1:54.
