Putting a lock on it

NEW ORLEANS -- UALR's winningest basketball season reached a tipping point this weekend in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament at Lakefront Arena.

The Trojans arrived in southern Louisiana with the No. 1 seed, 27 total victories, including 17 in Sun Belt games, and a certain amount of uncertainty.

Had they done enough to earn an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament's 68-team field if they did not earn the Sun Belt's automatic bid?

That question won't need to be answered.

UALR trailed by five at halftime, then unleashed a dominating second half en route tor a 70-50 victory over Louisiana-Monroe in the Sun Belt Tournament final.
