LITTLE ROCK – Little Rock rallied from a Southwestern Baptist offensive surge at the end of the first half, outscoring the Bearcats 19-2 over the final five and a half minutes to notch the 77-59 victory in the home opener.
"We reverted back to our old habits in the first half this year, which was concerning," said head coach Darrell Walker. "At halftime I challenged them to hold (the Bearcats) under 65, and they responded much better defensively in the second half. At the end of the day, we're 2-1, and we'll learn from this and get ready for Central Arkansas Sunday.
