LAFAYETTE, La. – Another slugfest in southern Louisiana wasn't resolved after 40 minutes as Little Rock gets clutch shooting and a pair of big defensive stops in overtime to outlast Louisiana 78-76 at the Cajundome.
Little Rock overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to take over sole possession of first place in the West Division at 3-1, improving to 7-4 on the year. It marked the largest deficit the Trojans had overcome to win a game this season, besting the seven-point hole against both Central Arkansas and UT Arlington.
Ruot Monyyong had another impressive performance, scoring 19 points and grabbing 16 rebounds for his sixth double-double of the season, and 23rd of his Trojan career, leading four Trojans that finished in double figures.
