LAFAYETTE, La. – Little Rock and Louisiana combined for 17 ties and 13 lead changes and neither team led by more than five points in a thrilling showdown in south Louisiana. But the Trojans' potential game-tying or winning possession was thwarted by the Ragin' Cajun defense and the Cajundome lighting system as Little Rock fell 66-64 Friday evening.
Down two following a pair of Louisiana free throws, Little Rock was seeking the possible game-tying or game-winning shot in the waning seconds when the red victory lights in the Cajundome kicked on with five seconds remaining, taking Little Rock out of their set play and forcing a Ruout Monyyong desperation three-pointer at the buzzer that just missed.
