LITTLE ROCK – Due to unforeseen circumstances, Little Rock's men's and women's Ohio Valley Conference opening basketball doubleheader against UT Martin on Thursday, December 29, is being moved to Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock. Game times will remain at 5 p.m. for the women and 7:30 p.m. for the men.
The freezing temperatures in the Little Rock area the past few days caused a rupture to a water coil in the Jack Stephens Center, resulting in Joe Foley Court being covered by water. Out of an abundance of caution for student-athlete safety, the decision was made to move the games to Simmons Bank Arena while crews continue to dry the court and assess its status for future games.
